Methods and systems for noninvasive mastopexy through deep tissue
tightening with ultrasound are provided. An exemplary method and system
comprise a therapeutic ultrasound system configured for providing
ultrasound treatment to a deep tissue region, such as a region comprising
muscular fascia and ligaments. In accordance with various exemplary
embodiments, a therapeutic ultrasound system can be configured to achieve
depth from 1 mm to 4 cm with a conformal selective deposition of
ultrasound energy without damaging an intervening tissue in the range of
frequencies from 1 to 15 MHz. In addition, a therapeutic ultrasound can
also be configured in combination with ultrasound imaging or
imaging/monitoring capabilities, either separately configured with
imaging, therapy and monitoring systems or any level of integration
thereof.
