Ultrasound for Capsular Contracture
Ultrasound for capsular contracture is a new treatment option which is still controversial in the
cosmetic surgery
industry. Ultrasound uses high frequency sound to accomplish a range of medical applications. Human hearing range is limited to approximately 20 kilohertz, which is far lower than the typical range of ultrasound treatment frequencies. Ultrasound for use in treating
capsular contracture
looks promising and has few risks, so it is worthwhile to investigate before considering surgical correction of the implant constriction.

Ultrasound Risks
Ultrasound is generally safe and comfortable for all patients. Some women might be discouraged from usage, due to specific health issues. Prolonged ultrasound at certain frequencies can result in loss of fatty tissue, which can alter breast size and shape. Ultrasound might also be a contributor to implant shell degeneration in certain varieties of
breast implants.
Make sure to discuss ultrasound usage with your doctor, before commencing treatment for your capsular contracture issues.
