Doctor Ho Cao Vu shares the advantages of the harmonic scalpel in breast lifts, which help patients find confidence in their appearance.
MMed, Dr. Ho Cao Vu is working at Cho Ray Hospital, specializing in plastic surgery and benign disease surgery. As an expert in aesthetic surgery, Dr. Ho understands how the loss of contour and shapeliness of the breasts is a great concern among many women.
Sagging of the breasts is often not a life-threatening condition, except when it causes irritation of the skin underneath the breasts. However, having an unshapely figure could have a negative impact on the self-confidence of many women. Facing this struggle, many women may choose to undergo plastic surgery. A highly effective procedure recommended by professionals is a breast lift using a harmonic scalpel. The harmonic scalpel utilizes a burn-weld-cut mechanism that instantly stops any bleeding at the surgery area and limits tissue damage. This technique is considered one of the most optimal interventions for sagging breast tissue and deformed breast implants.

One of the most common causes of sagging breasts is postpartum changes to the body. Other reasons include genetics, aging, excessive weight loss, improper breast care, and unsuitable workout attires. Many women struggle with the impact of these changes on their bodies and choose to seek help from surgical procedures. Depending on the patient’s aesthetic preferences and their personal anatomy (e.g. number of mammary glands, level of elasticity of the skin, etc.), doctors can perform procedures that would address the patient’s wishes.
According to Dr. Ho Cao Vu, a critical detail in breast-lifting surgery is the lining between the front mammary glands and the large pectoral muscles, where many small, colorless lymphatic systems are located. These systems pose a challenge to surgeons as they are often hard to observe and locate during surgery. The harmonic scalpel offers a resolution to this problem. Its welding function limits tissue damage by stopping bleedings and protects the lining in subglandular breast augmentation.

method.
The harmonic scalpel utilizes the burn-weld-cut mechanism, which facilitates the removal of fatty tissue and mammary glands, and the regeneration of healthy tissue. Further, this technique is completely painless and leaves no scarring; no drainage is required post-surgery, and the patient needs no more than 6 to 8 hours of post-operative care at the hospital. The patient can return to their regular schedule and activities within 24 hours after the procedure. Moreover, the effectiveness of the method guarantees that there is no need for future surgeries, helping patients avoid further pain and long-term health risks.

Dr. Ho Cao Vu has 10 years of experience in the field of aesthetics and is an expert in the usage of the harmonic scalpel. According to him, breast lifts using the harmonic scalpel is a surgical procedure that involves the use of general anesthesia. Given the intrusive nature of the procedure, he advises patients to do thorough research on the doctor performing the surgery, the hospital at which they wish to undergo the procedure, and the facilities and services of their chosen hospital.
