Answer: May help I have found U/S assisted with massage to resolve or soften some CC especially if the treatment was started early. In my practice, I have a CC protocol for massage and use the Aspen system.If the CC is long standing, it is ineffective.Best Wishes,Nana Mizuguchi, MD

Answer: Nonsurgical Treatment for Capsular Contracture Ultrasound and massage as nonsurgical treatments for mild cases of capsular contracture may be worth pursuing, as long as you understand that there is little research to support the effectiveness of either technique. The idea behind both treatments is that they break up the scar tissue that attaches to the capsule (i.e., the tissue housing your implant). Capsular contracture occurs when that scar tissue thickens and contracts around the implant. In most patients, the capsule is a soft, pliable sheet of scar tissue. For more advanced stages of capsular contracture, surgery to remove the capsule is the only effective treatment. Good luck to you.
