Minimally invasive breast augmentation with Mia Femtech™

Motiva Ergonomix2® Diamond implants offer the highest standards of quality and safety. They adapt optimally to the breast’s natural movement and provide a comfortable, lightweight feel. In addition, you benefit from comprehensive warranty coverage.

Thanks to the unique shape of the Motiva Ergonomix2® Diamond implants, the breast shape remains stable, even if the implant rotates. These implants are soft and flexible, closely mimicking the natural movement of the breast. They offer increased projection and volume without compromising on shape or aesthetics.

As with any procedure, Mia Femtech™ also carries risks - these are, however, significantly reduced thanks to the gentle technique. Blood loss is minimal, and even small tissue tears heal quickly and completely, without major after-effects. Thanks to their smooth, biocompatible surface, the implants also significantly reduce the risk of capsular contracture, which is supported by studies.

We can combine the Mia Femtech™ method with a breast lift when the breast sags only slightly. In cases of more significant excess skin, a classic breast lift is necessary. Alternatively, we can tighten the skin using the minimally invasive Renuvion® technique. We are currently one of the first centres worldwide to offer the combination of two minimally invasive procedures in a single operation: the Mia Femtech™ method combined with the Renuvion® technique.

Because Mia Femtech™ is a uniquely gentle procedure, it is associated with very little pain. If needed, you can take mild pain medication for 1-2 days, which we will provide for you.

Usually, you can return to work just 1-2 days after the procedure. Recovery is particularly quick thanks to the gentle technique. Athletic activities are usually possible again after just a few days, in consultation with your breast surgeon.

We place the Mia Femtech™ breast implant in front of the chest muscle. With this very gentle method, no breast tissue is sharply dissected, so that the predominant portion of the mammary gland (including nerves, blood vessels, and support ligaments) remains connected to the chest wall. The implant simply nests behind the mammary gland and in front of the chest muscle (the "Nesting effect").

This approach offers significant advantages: Preserves natural breast function and sensation. Achieves enhanced tissue mobilization for approximately 25% more volume than traditional implants. Provides a natural, soft look and feel.

The implant is inserted through a discreet 2.5 cm incision in the underarm, resulting in a nearly invisible scar once healed.

Conventional breast augmentation via the axilla has a reputation for being problematic, due in part to the increased risk of complications and the difficulty of positioning the implant. In contrast to conventional methods - which operate via the axilla and require opening and cutting the chest muscle at the top - the Mia Femtech™ method is a particularly gentle alternative.

Through an incision of only about 2.5 cm and the creation of a narrow channel, the upper breast tissue is preserved. This allows not only precise control over the implant position, but can also reduce the risk of complications and shorten recovery time for patients.

In addition, the creation of the implant pocket, into which the implant is placed, is significantly more precise with the balloon dissection technique. The two balloons used during the procedure are identical in size. This way, an almost identical space is prepared on both sides, which is not possible manually with conventional methods.

Though rare, complications are covered under a guarantee provided by BRST. Detailed information about this coverage is explained during the consultation, ensuring transparency and peace of mind.

Whether conventional breast augmentation or the Mia Femtech™ method: the question of how long implants last comes up again and again. As long as breast implants cause no problems, do not bother you, and are not painful, they can remain in the body for a lifetime. However, if you experience pain or changes in breast shape, we recommend consulting a doctor.

By the way: with Mia Femtech™, you have a 5-Year Always Confident Warranty® on the Motiva Ergonomix2® Diamond implants used.

During the procedure, we insert a round, diamond-shaped Ergonomix2® Diamond implant, which can achieve more projection and breast volume than a conventional implant of the same size. Thanks to the new shape, any rotation or flipping (a 180-degree turn) of the implant no longer has any effect on the breast’s shape.

Capsular contracture is a condition that may develop when the body naturally forms a protective capsule around a breast implant. This is a normal response to any foreign object in the body. The issue arises when this capsule hardens, which can lead to discomfort or pulling pain. Treatment: If advanced capsular contracture occurs, the implant and parts of the hardened capsule can be removed. A new implant can be inserted if the patient wishes. Reassuring Innovation: With the latest implant technology, the likelihood of capsular contracture is now extremely low.

For instance, the smooth, biocompatible surface of Motiva Ergonomix2® Diamond implants prevent cell attachment, significantly reducing the risk of complications.

Your recovery is just as important to us as the procedure itself. After breast augmentation with Mia Femtech™, we focus on ensuring a smooth, effective, and pain-free healing process. Here's what you can expect:

• What this means for you: 1-2 days of pain medication: We are at your side to make the first days after the procedure as comfortable as possible. If needed, you will receive pain medication for a smooth recovery. With this method, antibiotics are typically not required after the procedure.
• No special wound care needed: Our innovative Mia Femtech™ procedure makes wound care simple. You can focus fully on your recovery, without any complicated aftercare.
• Able to work again after 1-2 days: Your time is precious, and we respect that. As a rule, you can return to work just 1-2 days after the procedure and resume your daily life.
• Resuming Physical Activity: After 1 week, light lower-body exercises can be resumed, and within 3 weeks, you'll 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. Accordingly, it is particularly important that such procedures are performed by specialists in Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery. On his long search for an ideal treatment method for implant-based breast surgery, PD Dr. med. Farid Rezaeian found his answer in Mia Femtech™ (minimally invasive breast augmentation) at Establishment Labs. As one of the first surgeons worldwide, he is privileged to offer this new method of breast augmentation and breast shaping together with Dr. med. Martina Schneider at BRST.

To ensure the best results and a smooth experience, please follow these preparation guidelines carefully:

• Shave Your Axillae (Armpits): Ensure the area is clean and shaved before your procedure.
• Avoid eating any food for at least 6 hours before your procedure.
• Refrain from drinking clear liquids (water, pulp-free juice, tea, or coffee) for at least 2 hours prior to the procedure.
• Do not use deodorant before the treatment.
• Please refrain from wearing makeup before your treatment.
• Do not use perfume before the treatment.
• Do not use any cream or body lotion before the treatment.
• Ask your doctor for further medical advice.

The outpatient procedure, including induction, surgery, and recovery from the operating theatre, normally takes no longer than one hour. Afterwards, patients usually leave the clinic 30-60 minutes after the end of the procedure

A procedure with Mia Femtech™ starts at CHF 14'000.-, depending on the desired size and your individual anatomy. That is approximately 30% more than a conventional breast augmentation, because this is a globally new procedure with a premium product, which BRST offers as one of the first centres worldwide at clinic utoquai. In addition, we use only single-use materials during the procedure.

Your investment includes a comprehensive package: anaesthesia, all follow-up appointments, and regular ultrasound check-ups of the implant are all included.

Furthermore, Motiva, the manufacturer of the implants, offers further warranties such as the Motiva Implants® Woman's Choice Program and the 5Y Motiva® Program.
