Interview conducted at the AMCPER 2026 Congress — Expo Santa Fe, Mexico City Interviewer: Dr. Fabrizio Verdini, Biobarica Medical Liaison
In aesthetic plastic surgery, the result does not end in the operating room. It ends when the patient looks in the mirror weeks later and sees what she expected to see. Everything that happens between the surgery and that moment — the inflammation, the pain, the healing, the sense of wellbeing — is just as decisive for patient satisfaction as the surgical technique itself. Dr. Jorge Baqueiro, a plastic surgeon in Monterrey, Nuevo León, understood this long ago. And he found in the hyperbaric chamber the tool that allowed him to manage that stage with precision.
A Postoperative Protocol With a Precise Starting Point
Dr. Baqueiro does not use the hyperbaric chamber in a generic way. His protocol has a clear starting point and a defined clinical logic:
- First session at 48 to 72 hours after surgery, when the inflammatory process is at its most acute and the intervention has the greatest impact
- 5 to 10 sessions over the first two to three weeks, adjusted according to each patient's risk factors
- Preoperative protocol in selected cases, although the primary focus is postoperative
This precision in timing is not a minor detail. Hyperbaric therapy acts on the physiological mechanisms that are most active in the first hours and days after surgery: the inflammatory response, tissue perfusion, and collagen synthesis. Starting the protocol at that exact moment maximizes the impact of each session.
The Before and After: What Changed With the Hyperbaric Chamber
When Dr. Fabrizio Verdini asks what the concrete differentiator has been since incorporating the hyperbaric chamber into his practice, Dr. Baqueiro answers with one word: a lot.
"Mainly, patients feel a great sense of relief with the hyperbaric chamber. Beyond the evolution of the wounds, it reduces the risk of dehiscence, reduces inflammation, improves pain, and gives postoperative patients a very pleasant sense of wellbeing."
Four benefits in one answer: less dehiscence, less inflammation, less pain, and better overall wellbeing. None of those benefits is minor in the context of aesthetic surgery. Wound dehiscence is one of the most frequent and most costly complications — clinically and emotionally — in this type of procedure. Prolonged inflammation delays the visible result and generates anxiety in the patient. Postoperative pain conditions adherence to the recovery protocol. And the sense of wellbeing is, in many cases, what determines whether the patient recommends their surgeon or not.
Why He Chose Biobarica: Design, Therapeutic Comfort, and the Right Clinical Range
Dr. Baqueiro evaluated several options before choosing Biobarica. His decision criteria are among the most precise and useful that a colleague in the same process could hear:
"Biobarica was the one that convinced us — for the design, for the patient-friendliness — it is a very patient-friendly chamber for an aesthetic surgery patient in terms of use — and it delivers the therapeutic range you need for a postoperative recovery."
And he adds an observation worth highlighting:
"There are hyperbaric chambers that deliver higher oxygenation ranges, but they can be unpleasant for the patient and you really don't need that in an aesthetic surgery protocol."
This point is key, and Dr. Verdini emphasizes it during the interview: achieving effective hyperoxia and a comfortable therapeutic experience are not opposing goals. They are two sides of the same result. A patient who tolerates the treatment well completes the protocol. A patient who completes the protocol achieves the expected results. And a patient with good results recommends.
The Biobarica Revitalair chamber was designed with that balance in mind: the therapeutic range required for aesthetic surgery protocols, with a patient experience that is both tolerable and valued.
The Investment That Patients Recognize
Dr. Baqueiro is direct about the economic aspect of the decision:
"A hyperbaric chamber has a cost, but if you have the opportunity, it is definitely something your patients will see the benefit of."
That statement carries a return logic that goes beyond the cost of the equipment. A practice that offers faster recovery, fewer complications, and a better postoperative experience generates more satisfied patients, more referrals, and greater loyalty. In a specialty where reputation is the most valuable asset, that translates into a concrete and sustained return.
And for those who see access as a barrier, Dr. Verdini notes it during the interview: Biobarica offers financing plans that make incorporation far more accessible. The Biobarica Global System also includes validated clinical protocols, ongoing training, patient management software, and remote technical support from day one — so the implementation curve is as short as possible.
A Tool That Patients Value
What Dr. Jorge Baqueiro describes from Monterrey is the experience of a surgeon who evaluated his options with clinical judgment, chose the tool that best fits his patient profile, and today sees the results in every postoperative follow-up.
Fewer dehiscences. Less inflammation. Less pain. More wellbeing. And patients who arrive at their checkups with a recovery that used to take longer and more effort to achieve.
In aesthetic plastic surgery, where the postoperative experience is part of the result, the hyperbaric chamber is not a complement: it is an advantage that patients perceive, value, and recommend.
