Harmo-5K is an innovative breast augmentation technology that uses a next-generation ultrasonic scalpel. This advanced device helps reduce pain, bleeding, and fluid leakage during surgery. Its key advantage lies in combining the ultrasonic scalpel with point dissection technology, enabling minimally invasive tissue dissection and release.
This technique allows surgeons to work under direct visual control, either by naked eye or with an endoscopic monitoring system. This precision improves hemostasis—stopping bleeding effectively—and minimizes fluid leakage while creating the implant pocket.
Inventor’s Insight: Faster Healing and Fewer Complications
Dr. Ho Cao Vu, the inventor of Harmo-5K technology, explains that this method accelerates healing and promotes the quick formation of fibrous tissue. It also reduces complications after surgery. Thanks to the technique’s precision, patients often do not require pain medication or antibiotics following the procedure.
Dr. Vu has over ten years of experience applying ultrasonic scalpels in breast augmentation, implant removal, replacement, and abdominal contouring surgeries. Observing many benefits, he applied for exclusive use of the Harmo-5K trademark in 2021 and was officially authorized in early 2024.
Technological Advancements Drive Surgical Success
Dr. Vu highlights that the continuous evolution of ultrasonic scalpel technology plays a crucial role in complex surgeries. It reduces tissue damage, postoperative pain, and risks of both early and late complications.
Using this new-generation ultrasonic scalpel, breast implant removal surgeries can be performed under laryngeal mask anesthesia. Patients typically recover quickly and can be discharged within 8 to 10 hours, following hospital rules. Preventive scar treatments start immediately after wound closure, helping ensure aesthetically pleasing scars.
The Ultrasonic Scalpel: A Versatile Surgical Tool
Originally developed in the 1950s and 1960s for general and laparoscopic surgeries, the ultrasonic scalpel has become essential across many surgical fields, including cosmetic surgery. It operates by using high-frequency ultrasound to precisely cut tissue while protecting surrounding healthy areas. This minimizes unnecessary damage, postoperative pain, and shortens recovery time.
Dr. Vu explains that the device works with a “burn-seal-cut” mechanism. It generates stable heat using ultrasound combined with an automatic warning system. This approach reduces tissue damage, bleeding, fluid leakage, and typical postoperative inflammation.
Precision with Point Separation Technology
The Harmo-5K also uses point separation technology, especially effective in lymph node dissection. This allows precise tissue separation, excellent bleeding control, and limits heat diffusion, which helps patients recover faster.
Leading Innovation in Cosmetic Surgery
Dr. Vu is among the first cosmetic surgeons to use Ulthera technology in breast augmentation, marking a major leap in the field. After receiving training at leading institutions like MD Anderson Cancer Center in the U.S., he has successfully applied this technology since 2011.
