Minimally Invasive Breast Aesthetics with mia®

A New Era

A new era in breast aesthetics is beginning. mia® introduces a different perspective to breast augmentation with its minimally invasive techniques. With small incisions, safe implant placement, and a fast recovery process, next-generation breast enhancement is now possible.

This system stands out not only with its aesthetic outcomes but also with its scientific foundation and patient-safety-first approach. mia® is recognized as one of the most important global innovations in the field of minimally invasive breast aesthetics.

What is mia®?

mia® (Minimally Invasive Augmentation) is an innovative technique developed in the field of breast augmentation. Unlike classical methods, it is performed through a small incision of only 2–3 cm. Through this tiny incision, a real, medically approved implant is placed into the breast tissue with the help of a special injector.

The crucial point here: mia® is not a filler. In other words, no liquid or temporary materials are used. The implant that is placed is a permanent and safe breast prosthesis.

Thanks to this method:
Smaller incisions mean fewer scars.
• Placement of the implant via injection causes minimal trauma to the tissue.
• The recovery process is rapid; most patients can return to daily life in a short time.

mia® is a next-generation breast augmentation method that is safe, scientifically grounded, and provides natural aesthetic results.

The Difference with mia®

Compared to traditional breast augmentation methods, mia® offers a much more patient-friendly approach.

  • It is performed through a small incision, leaving minimal scarring.
    • Because tissue trauma is minimized, post-procedure comfort is significantly higher.
    • The recovery period is shorter; most patients can return to daily life quickly.
    • Thanks to advanced technology, the results are both natural and long-lasting.

With mia®, aesthetics, safety, and speed come together. In this sense, it is not just an aesthetic procedure, but also one of the most innovative solutions modern medicine has to offer.

4. Safety and Scientific Foundation

mia® is a method that delivers aesthetic results without compromising safety.
This system is applied exclusively with FDA-approved Motiva® implants. The structure of these implants has been rigorously tested for biocompatibility and long-term reliability.

Moreover, mia® is not a procedure that can be performed in every center. It can only be implemented in facilities that have completed the necessary training and licensing processes. This ensures both patient safety and a high-standard experience.

In this regard, mia® is not just an aesthetic technique; it is an approach grounded in scientific research and secured by international standards.

Who Is It Suitable For?

mia® is a technique developed especially for women who desire natural and proportionate breast enhancement.
Thanks to the advantage of a small incision, it leaves almost no scar and allows patients to return to their social lives quickly with its fast recovery process.

However, it is not suitable for every patient. Those who seek very large volume increases or have advanced, specific expectations may find other surgical options more appropriate.

The most important step in choosing the right method is a comprehensive evaluation of your expectations and anatomical structure together with your specialist surgeon.

The Procedure

mia® is a simple and safe surgical approach that prioritizes patient comfort.
It is usually performed under local anesthesia or light sedation.

  • A small incision of about 2–2.5 cm is made.
  • The implant is placed into the tissue using a special injector system.
  • There is minimal intervention to the tissue during the procedure, with very little bleeding.
  • Most patients are able to return to light activities the very next day.

Through these steps, mia® offers a more comfortable experience compared to traditional methods.

mia® vs. Preservé (Optional Subsection)

Both techniques are safe and modern options developed with Motiva® technologies, yet they differ in certain aspects:

  • Incision size:
    mia® is performed with minimal incisions of about 2–2.5 cm. Preservé, offering a broader implant range, may require larger incisions depending on the procedure type.
  • Impact on tissue:
    mia® works with minimal intervention to the tissues, causing very little trauma. Preservé, on the other hand, uses specialized techniques to preserve tissue integrity.
  • Implant options:
    mia® is effective for implants up to 195 cc. Preservé covers the entire Motiva® implant range.
  • Recovery time:
    After mia®, most patients can return to light activities the very next day. With Preservé, recovery is also fast in primary augmentations, but procedures like mastopexy (breast lift) may require longer recovery.
  • Scope of use:
    mia® is particularly suitable for primary breast augmentation. Preservé, however, can be applied in augmentation, mastopexy, revision, and hybrid procedures.
  • Ideal candidates:
    mia® is best for patients seeking a natural and proportionate enhancement, minimal scarring, and quick recovery.
    Preservé is advantageous for patients who want larger implant options, need tissue preservation, or desire a combined implant + lift approach.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is mia® a filler?
No. mia® is not a filler. It is the placement of FDA-approved Motiva® implants using a specialized technique. In other words, it is a method of inserting a permanent and safe implant.

Are the implants permanent?
Yes. The implants used are long-lasting, reliable, and traceable medical devices. They can be replaced or revised if needed.

Does it interfere with cancer screening?
No. Unlike fillers, mia® implants do not obstruct mammography or MRI. Breast health can continue to be monitored safely.

How long is the recovery period?
mia® is a minimally invasive technique. Most patients can return to light social and work activities the very next day. Full recovery may vary depending on individual factors.

Who is not a suitable candidate?
mia® may not be suitable for patients who want very large volume increases, have severe breast sagging, or require additional surgical procedures. In such cases, different methods are recommended.

Conclusion and Invitation

In aesthetic breast surgery, one of the safest, most scientific, and innovative options is now accessible: mia®.
Every woman’s expectations and needs are unique. What truly matters is that the most suitable method for you is determined safely and by experienced hands.
