Pros and Cons of Mia Femtech

Advantages (Pros)

• Minimal Downtime: This is the most significant advantage. Most patients can return to their normal daily activities (like work or going to dinner) the very same day or the next.

• No Scar on the Breast: The hidden armpit scar is a key benefit for patients who are concerned about visible scarring.

• Less Pain: Patients report significantly less pain compared to traditional breast augmentation due to the tissue-preserving technique.

• Preserved Sensation: The risk of changes to nipple or breast sensation is minimized because the technique avoids cutting nerves and breast tissue.

• Natural Look and Feel: The implants and placement provide a subtle, proportional enhancement that moves and feels natural.

• Reversible: The procedure is designed to be fully reversible, with implants able to be removed through the same armpit incision.

Considerations (Cons & Limitations)

• Limited Size Increase: Mia® is only suitable for women who desire a subtle increase of 1 to 2 cup sizes. It is not an option for those seeking a dramatic change in volume.

• Not a Breast Lift: This procedure does not correct significant sagging (ptosis). A separate breast lift (mastopexy) would be required for that.

• Standard Surgical Risks: As with any procedure, it carries risks, though they are reduced. These include infection, bleeding, capsular contracture, implant rupture or rotation, and changes in sensation.

• Newer Technology: As a more recent innovation, long-term (20+ year) data is more limited compared to traditional augmentation, and there may be unknown risks.
