Choosing breast revision or Aspen therapy is a big decision. Below are some of the most common questions we receive from patients considering treatment for breast implant complications.
The Aspen Multi-Energy System is a clinically proven, non-surgical treatment for capsular contracture. It uses soundwave therapy and massage techniques to soften scar tissue and restore natural softness and symmetry.
Most patients feel little to no discomfort. Some report a tingling sensation, but Aspen is generally painless. In fact, many patients feel relief from pain caused by capsular contracture after treatment.
Clinical studies and patient outcomes show up to a 90% success rate for qualified candidates.
Aspen works best for Baker Grade 1–3 contracture. For Grade 4 cases, it can still soften tissue and make revision surgery easier and more effective.
Surgery may be recommended if:
Depending on your needs, revision may include capsulectomy (removal of scar tissue), implant repositioning, or implant replacement. Dr. Charles Sarosy will customize the plan for your best outcome.
