Aspen Breast Treatment in San Diego

Aspen Breast Treatment is a non-surgical solution designed to address complications associated with breast implants.

What is Aspen Breast Treatment?

Aspen treatment uses specialized ultrasound technology and massage techniques to soften the surrounding scar tissue, restoring a more natural feel and appearance to the breasts. This innovative treatment option offers patients a non-invasive alternative to revision surgery, helping to correct implant issues, improve symmetry, and enhance overall comfort and aesthetics.

What Can Aspen Breast Treatments Do?

Correct Capsular Contracture: Aspen treatment helps soften hardened breast implants caused by capsular contracture, reducing pain and discomfort.
Improve Implant Symmetry: It can address issues of asymmetry or distortion caused by contracture, improving the overall appearance and balance of the breasts.
Non-Surgical Alternative: Aspen treatment offers a non-invasive option to correct implant complications without additional surgery.
Enhanced Breast Shape: Aspen can restore a more natural and aesthetically pleasing breast shape by softening the tissue around the implant.
Prevent Further Complications: Early intervention with Aspen treatment can prevent capsular contracture from worsening, avoiding the need for future surgical intervention.
Support Healing After Surgery: Aspen treatment can be used as a post-surgical therapy to aid in the healing process and maintain the results of a breast augmentation or revision surgery.

How Does Aspen Breast Treatment Work?

Aspen Breast Treatment is an outpatient procedure typically involving several sessions, depending on the severity of the condition being addressed. Each session lasts about 60 to 90 minutes. The treatment utilizes soundwave technology to break down scar tissue and reduce implant tightness. The procedure is non-invasive, requires no anesthesia, and involves minimal discomfort. Patients can expect to see gradual improvements in breast shape, feel, and position over the course of their prescribed treatment.

Symptoms of Capsular Contracture

After breast implant surgery, some patients experience a condition called capsular contracture. This condition is when scar tissue forms around the breast implant, causing a set of symptoms, which may include:

Breast Firmness: One or both breasts may feel unusually hard to the touch.
Breast Shape Changes: The breast may look distorted or misshapen.
Breast Pain or Discomfort: There may be pain, tenderness, or discomfort in the breast, ranging from mild to severe.
Reduced Implant Mobility: The implant may feel less mobile or stuck in one position within the breast.
Breast Heaviness: A sensation of increased weight or density in the affected breast.

Aspen Breast Treatment is an innovative approach to help patients address these issues without surgery.
