Hi dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.

As fas as healing process is concerned infrared sauna is helpful in many ways like by increasing the blood supply , eliminating the toxins from the body and providing more oxygen to the tissues . But your surgery is complicated one and also had complications associated with it . So i would suggest you to consult your surgeon before opting for this therapy , because you only your surgeon can tell about it by looking at your wound condition that weather or not its right time to go for therapy. Yous surgeon can prescribe supplements like vitamin C for quick recovery .


Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
