Key considerations for breast implant removal

Vu noted an increasing demand for implant removal, particularly among overseas Vietnamese women who had augmentations years ago. Women with implants older than five years are advised to review details like implant brand, material (textured or smooth), size, and warranty period, as well as conduct a breast MRI to check for conditions such as folding, rupture, or abnormal pocket thickness.

If health risks are detected, implants should be replaced with certified safe options.

Vu explained that older techniques, such as the blunt dissection method, often result in issues like implant folding, insufficient pocket space, imbalanced contours, or double capsule formation. The point dissection method with ultrasonic surgical technology provides superior precision in pocket formation and minimizing complications.

The ultrasonic surgical scalpel's weld-cut-seal mechanism ensures secure hemostasis, prevents fluid leakage, and avoids tissue damage through intelligent heat control, creating a dry pocket for easier implant placement. No pain relievers, antibiotics, or downtime are required post-surgery.

For clients resizing or replacing implants, surgeons evaluate the dimensions of the old implant pocket and adjust it accordingly, ensuring proper fit and natural proportions. Skin elasticity, anatomical changes, and ribcage structure are also considered. Cytological examinations of abnormal tissue are conducted if necessary to ensure safety and optimal outcomes.

Clients undergoing this procedure can expect to be discharged within 8–10 hours, thanks to the ultrasonic scalpel combined with laryngeal mask anesthesia. Preventative scar treatments developed by specialists ensure aesthetically pleasing results. This approach has become popular, especially among overseas Vietnamese, for its ability to reduce recovery time and post-surgical discomfort.

Vu, with over 10 years of experience using the ultrasonic surgical scalpel, developed the "Harmo 5K" method, prioritizing no pain, no bleeding, no fluid leakage, no medication, and no downtime.

This trademarked method has set a new standard in breast implant procedures and continues to be recognized for its efficiency and effectiveness.
