Dr. Rahal Becomes First Surgeon In Beverly Hills To Offer This Non-Invasive Treatment For Breast Implant Complication, Capsular Contracture


The Aspen treatment has a 90% success rate in eliminating capsular contracture.

An ultrasound machine known as Aspen is the best non-invasive treatment for capsular contracture. Dr. Rahal is the first plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills to invest in this technology. The treatment uses a specific type of ultrasound to break up the hardening around the implant, breaking the capsule, allowing the implant to sit comfortably inside of the breast cavity and provides a soft and natural feel. “This is a very successful and non-invasive option for capsular contracture” says Dr. Rahal. He also stated “The Aspen treatment has a 90% success rate in eliminating capsular contracture.”

Patient Denise Olsen explains “My breasts started to harden and they raised & twisted causing some pain” after undergoing breast augmentation surgery with another plastic surgeon, just 4 weeks after her procedure. After only 4 treatments with the Aspen Ultrasound, she states “I can’t even explain the softness, it doesn’t hurt anymore, I don’t have any more pain in my breasts.”

Capsular Contracture is when a hard capsule forms around the implant. Doctors believe a “biofilm” forms around it and may be caused by bacterial contamination. The capsule around the implant makes the implant more firm, and can make the breasts’ shape look different and uneven.

Capsular Contracture cannot be prevented 100%. Dr. Rahal uses the most up-to-date, and best, practices to reduce its rate of occurrence. This includes not touching the implant, placing it underneath the muscle, and using antibiotics during surgery.

If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, you should be evaluated by your plastic surgeon. If the diagnosis is made of capsular contracture, you should explore treatment options. Fortunately, there are now non-invasive treatments for capsular contracture.

Symptoms Include:

  • The implant begins to feel hard
  • You are experiencing pain, tightness, or discomfort in your chest
  • The implant shape is off, like in the form of a ball.
  • You notice asymmetry after three months as one implant is higher on your chest
