MIA FEMTECH™ VS BREAST AUGMENTATION
Breast Augmentation Dubai | 1 January 2025
The Mia® technique is a revolutionary advancement in breast harmonization, offering a minimally invasive and highly effective approach to enhancing breast volume and shape. As the first injectable implant, Mia® allows for a quick and comfortable procedure with a rapid recovery time. Through a small incision in the armpit, the unique diamond-shaped implant is inserted above the muscle. This innovative design enables significant volume enhancement, even with smaller implant sizes, providing a natural-looking and harmonious result.
Incision size
Mia Femtech: Uses a small incision in the armpit
Traditional breast augmentation: Typically requires incisions on the submammary fold or around the areola to insert the implants
Recovery time
Mia Femtech: Patients often experience a faster recovery time
Traditional breast augmentation: May require more downtime
Scarring
Mia Femtech: Results in less noticeable scarring in the armpit
Traditional breast augmentation: May require incisions that result in more noticeable scarring
Breast tissue preservation
Mia Femtech preserves breast tissue, which can make the procedure safer and less painful
Breast sensitivity
Mia Femtech preserves breast sensitivity while ensuring a natural feel and look
Breast augmentation might cause a slight decrease in the breast sensivity
Anesthesia
Mia Femtech is a procedure that can be done under pure local anesthesia with or without minimal sedation. Breast augmentation is on the other hand done under General anesthesia
Reversibility
Mia Femtech is 100% reversible, so the implants can be removed through the armpit. One of the most remarkable aspects of Mia® is the minimal downtime it requires. Women can return to their normal activities within a few days of the procedure, allowing them to quickly resume their daily routines. Some ladies have even been able to travel or return to work shortly after the procedure, demonstrating the exceptional convenience of this technique.
Mia® is ideal for those seeking a subtle and natural-looking breast enhancement. The results are subtle and harmonious, creating a more natural appearance that is virtually undetectable. By avoiding the need for padded or push-up bras, Mia® allows women to feel confident and comfortable in their bodies. One of the most significant advantages of the Mia® technique is its ability to preserve breast tissue. Unlike traditional breast augmentation methods that involve cutting and manipulating breast tissue, Mia® utilizes a non-invasive approach that avoids damaging the surrounding tissue.
Instead of cutting through the breast tissue, Mia® employs a balloon that is gently inflated to create space for the implant. This technique eliminates the need for tissue dissection, preserving the integrity of the breast tissue, nerves, and blood vessels.
By preserving breast tissue, Mia® offers several benefits. It reduces the risk of complications associated with tissue trauma, minimizes changes to nipple sensation, and facilitates future mammograms for breast cancer screening. This non-invasive approach ensures that the breast remains healthy and functional, even after the procedure. While Mia® technique offers many advantages, it’s important to understand that it’s not suitable for everyone. Traditional breast augmentation may be more appropriate for women seeking larger implants or significant shape modifications.
Mia® is ideal for women who desire a natural-looking breast enhancement without the need for extensive surgery or prolonged recovery. It’s particularly well-suited for those who are hesitant about general anesthesia or prefer a less invasive approach. As a plastic surgeon, I carefully assess each woman’s individual needs and goals to determine the most suitable procedure.
Some patients may require more extensive tissue manipulation, such as addressing asymmetry or correcting sagging breasts, which can be achieved more effectively through traditional techniques.
