Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and system for mastopexy through deep tissue tightening with a therapeutic ultrasound system, wherein a therapeutic ultrasound system is configured for providing ultrasound treatment to a deep tissue region such as a region including muscular fascia and ligaments.SOLUTION: A transducer that causes heat damage, fixes a proximal protrusion to a corium of a fat lobuli, transmits an ultrasound energy and removes a fat ledge from the corium is configured to convey the ultrasound energy to a surficial tissue for treat the blood vessel.
