A NEW BREAST AUGMENTATION EXPERIENCE

Worldwide new method of gently and carefully inserting a breast implant with the help of an insertion device for breast augmentation.

We pursue the goal of offering our patients the best possible care in the field of breast surgery. That is why it is important to us to keep up to date and expand our many years of expertise with new, proven methods such as Mia Femtech™.
Mia Femtech™ is a safe, minimally invasive method that is gentle and provides natural results. As with any technique, it is not suitable for every woman. The decision as to which method is suitable for breast augmentation depends on various factors, including the patient’s individual needs and medical conditions.
In order to find the best possible, individual solution, we advise each of our patients transparently about their options – with or without Mia Femtech™. We provide open information about possible risks and complications and ensure that our patients feel comfortable at all times. Accordingly, the Mia Femtech™ method is not a marketing trick, but a modern technique for minimally invasive, gentle and natural breast augmentation.
Nine out of ten patients we see in our consultation are suitable candidates for Mia Femtech™.

The unique diamond-shaped structure of the Motiva Ergonomix2® Diamond implant mobilizes more tissue during surgery (“tenting effect”), resulting in an increase in breast volume of approximately 25% compared to traditional implants. The use of the round, soft and diamond-shaped Ergonomix2® Diamond implant allows for improved projection and breast volume compared to traditional implants of the same size. Thanks to its innovative structure, it also preserves the natural breast shape, even when the implant rotates or flips.

By using the round, diamond-shaped Ergonomix2® Diamond implant, we not only achieve more projection and breast volume compared to conventional implants of the same size. Thanks to its new shape, the breast shape remains unchanged even when the implant is rotated or flipped (flipping the implant by 180 degrees).

The Mia Femtech™ breast implant is placed in front of the pectoral muscle. With this very gentle method, no breast tissue is cut sharply, meaning that the majority of the gland (including nerves, vessels and retaining ligaments) remains connected to the chest wall. The implant is only implanted behind the mammary gland and in front of the pectoral muscle (“nesting effect”).

There are no disadvantages – quite the opposite: the diamond-shaped form of the Motiva Ergonomix2® Diamond implant is very soft, has a natural effect and mobilizes more tissue (“tenting effect”). Thanks to this implant technology, around 25 % more volume can be achieved than with conventional implants.

The implant is inserted through a 2.5cm incision in the armpit. The resulting scar is practically invisible.

Conventional breast augmentation via the axilla has a reputation for being problematic – partly due to the increased risk of complications and the difficulty of positioning the implant. In contrast to conventional methods, in which surgery is performed via the axilla and the pectoral muscle has to be opened and severed at the top, the Mia Femtech™ method is clearly a gentler and safer alternative. By making an incision just 2 cm in size and creating a narrow channel, the breast tissue in the upper area is not damaged. This not only enables precise control of the implant position, but also minimizes the risk of complications and significantly shortens the recovery time for patients. In addition, the creation of the implant pocket into which the implant is inserted is much more precise with balloon preparation. The 2 balloons used in the operation are identical in size. This means that an almost identical space is prepared on both sides, which is not possible with conventional manual methods.

Whether a conventional breast augmentation or one with Mia® Femtech: every operation involves risks. The great advantage of Mia® Femtech is that the blood loss is much smaller. Even if small tears were to occur, they heal very quickly. Post-operative bleeding or infections are short-lived and there have been no complications with this method worldwide to date. It is not necessary to take antibiotics after the operation. Furthermore, Motiva’s implant technology is not new, but has been on the market for 13 years. The special feature is its smooth and biocompatible surface, on which no cells can attach. This results in significantly less capsular fibrosis than implants with a rough surface. Studies have already been carried out on this as well.

If a complication should occur, which is usually very rare, we offer a guarantee. You will be informed in detail during the consultation.

Whether conventional breast augmentation or with the Mia Femtech™ procedure, the question of the durability of implants comes up again and again. As long as breast implants do not cause any problems, are not disruptive or painful, they can remain in the body for a lifetime. However, if pain or deformation of the breast occurs, we recommend consulting a doctor.

By the way: At Mia Femtech™ you have a 5-year Always Confident Warranty® on the Motiva Ergonomix2®Diamond implants.

Every foreign body that enters the body is automatically encased in a shell. This natural process also occurs with a breast implant after breast augmentation. Only when this shell hardens and leads to pulling pain do we speak of so-called advanced capsular contracture. This is treated by removing the implant with parts of the capsule and inserting a new one if desired.
Good to know: Capsular contracture is a very rare complication due to new implant technology.

After a breast augmentation with Mia Femtech™, it is important to us that the recovery for our patients is effective and as pain-free as possible.
For you this means:
– 1-2 days of painkillers: we are by your side to ensure that the first few days after surgery are as comfortable as possible. If necessary, you will be given painkillers for a smooth recovery. There is no need to take antibiotics after the operation with this method.
– No special wound care: Our innovative Mia Femtech™ procedure makes wound care uncomplicated. You can concentrate fully on your recovery, without any special care tasks.
– Ready for work after 1-2 days: Your time is precious and we respect that. Usually, you will be able to return to work and resume your daily routine just 1-2 days after the operation.
– Back to physical activity: Together we focus on your physical strength. After just one week, you will be able to focus on your lower extremities again, and an amazing 3 weeks later you will be ready for full-body activities.

Whether conventional breast augmentation, augmentation with Mia Femtech™, breast lift or breast reduction: breast surgery requires expertise and experience. It is therefore particularly important that such procedures are performed by specialists in plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery. In his long search for an ideal treatment procedure for implant-based breast surgery, PD Dr. med. Farid Rezaeian came across Mia Femtech™ (minimally invasive augmentation) from Establishment Labs. He is one of the first surgeons in the world to offer this new method of breast augmentation and shaping together with Dr. Martina Schneider at BRST.

The procedure, which is performed on an outpatient basis, usually takes no longer than one hour, including the patient’s induction, surgery and discharge from the operating room. Afterwards, patients usually leave the clinic 30-60 minutes after the end of the surgery.

Since Mia Femtech™ is a uniquely gentle operation, it is associated with very little pain. If necessary, our patients take light painkillers for 1-2 days on average, which are provided by BRST.

In preparation for your Mia^® procedure, please take into consideration the following:

• Show up to your procedure day with shaved axillae (armpits)
• Do not eat food for at least 6 hours before your procedure
• Do not drink clear liquids for at least 2 hours before your procedure (water, pulp-free juice, tea, or coffee)
• Do not wear any deodorant to your procedure
• Do not wear any make-up to your procedure
• Do not wear any perfume to your procedure
• Do not wear any cream or body lotion to your procedure
• Please consult with your health care professional for any further medical recommendations

After 1-2 days it is usually possible to return to work.

Sports activities are usually possible again after a few days after consultation with your breast surgeon.

This is possible – but not in every case.

An important basic requirement is that the breasts should not be too saggy. If this is still the case, there is the option of classic breast augmentation in combination with a breast lift. However, if the breast is only slightly sagging, it can first be augmented using the Mia Femtech™ method and then slightly tightened either in the same session or a few months later. The advantage of this is that we do not have to damage the breast tissue. We now also combine the Mia Femtech™ method with the equally minimally invasive Renuvion® technique (tightening of the skin from the inside, without visible incisions).

A procedure with Mia Femtech™ costs from CHF 15’000 – depending on the desired size and individual starting position. This is around 30% more than a conventional breast augmentation, as this is a globally new procedure with a premium product, which BRST is one of the first centers in the world to offer at clinic utoquai. In addition, only single-use material is used during the operation.
The costs include an all-round package: anesthesia, all follow-up checks and regular ultrasound checks of the implant are included.
Motiva, the manufacturer of the implants, also offers additional guarantees such as the “Motiva Implants® Woman’s Choice Program” and the “5Y Motiva® Program”.
