Breast Treatment

Some say genetics play a role. While there may be some uncertainty on what triggers the capsule around the breast to contract, there is no doubt on how it affects the patient. As the breast hardens, it can become hard, painful and asymmetrical. Aspen Multi-Energy Therapy protocol, developed by clinician Tim Weyant, is the only patented, researched, and non-invasive therapeutic technique to successfully treat capsular contracture. By utilizing the Aspen Harmonizer™ combined with the patented Aspen Technique over a 2 to 3 week period, and an ongoing home care program, the outcome has proven successful at treating Baker II and Baker III grade capsules to an acceptable Baker I level.

BIOFILM: There is ever-increasing recognition of the key role that biofilms play in breast implant capsular contracture. A published animal model of capsular contracture in pigs, which documented a statistically significant increase in the incidence of capsular contracture following introduction of Staph, epidermidis at the time of implant placement, provides the most direct evidence, to date, for this connection (1).

Hematomas and seromas may also contribute to contracture by providing a rich nutrient environment for biofilm growth. Until now, traditional surgical methodologies of treating capsular contracture typically involved complete capsulectomy, antibiotics, and in some cases, and extended period of time in which the implant is removed from the patient prior to replacement. Dr. Roger Wixtrom, PhD who is considered by many the worlds leading authority on biofilms and capsular contracture, has described The Aspen System™ as “the most promising non-surgical alternative for treating capsular contracture in many patients.” Intriguing recent research in animals and humans would suggest that The Aspen System™ in combination with antibiotics may increase the effectiveness of antibiofilm therapy (2-3).
