NATURAL BREAST AUGMENTATION UNDER LOCAL ANESTHESIA : MIA TECHNIQUE

Until now, two options were available for breast augmentation:
lipofilling (autologous fat transfer) and the placement of breast implants. Both of these solutions require general anesthesia and a variable recovery period.

The Mia procedure is based on a new, patented, cutting-edge system. The operation time is revolutionary short, taking about 15 minutes from anesthesia to implant placement.

Incisions are made under the arm, resulting in small and discreet scars. No social downtime is required, pain is minimal, and can be easily managed with standard painkillers.

Moreover, the new-generation implants used in the Mia procedure are even softer than previous ones, allowing for a natural and subtle result.

While Mia is a form of breast augmentation using implants, it stands out from traditional methods due to several key differences:

Significantly Shorter Operative Time: The entire procedure takes just 15 minutes.

No General Anesthesia Required: Unlike standard breast augmentation, which involves general anesthesia and intubation (inserting a tube into the throat to assist with breathing), the Mia procedure is performed under local anesthesia with IV sedation. This ensures the patient is relaxed and pain-free during the operation while remaining awake and able to speak afterward.

No Breast Scars: Mia leaves no scars on the breast itself. Instead, a small 2 cm incision is made under the armpit.

No Cutting of Breast Tissue: Rather than cutting into the breast tissue to place the implant, a special device—similar to a balloon—is inserted through the 2 cm incision. This device is then inflated to gently create a pocket for the implant.

Faster Recovery: Recovery is quicker with the Mia technique for several reasons:

• Since no breast tissue is cut, post-operative pain is minimized
• The short operative time reduces the amount of anesthesia needed
• The softness of the implant allows it to be placed above the muscle, even in patients with thin skin, further reducing post-operative discomfort

Ultra-Natural Results: The use of advanced silicone gel and implant texturization technology ensures a highly natural appearance.

If you wish to increase your cup size, fill out and enhance your cleavage, or harmonize your breasts, the Mia procedure is the ideal solution for you.

For patients who tend to wear padded or push-up bras to reshape and enhance their cleavage, the Mia procedure allows you to achieve this result naturally, in harmony with your body’s proportions.

If you are dissatisfied with the appearance of your breasts after breastfeeding or due to skin aging and find yourself wearing loose clothing to hide your breasts, Mia can help you regain the breast shape you love.

Silicone pads and adhesive strips often used to reshape and lift the breasts can also be replaced by the Mia procedure.

Dr. Lyor Hanan will discuss your case with you and conduct an examination during your first consultation. The Mia procedure may not be suitable in certain situations:

• The desire to increase by two cup sizes or more. In this case, breast augmentation with implants is a more appropriate alternative
• Significant breast ptosis (sagging)
• The patient already has breast implants
• Damaged breast tissue
• An ongoing pregnancy and/or breastfeeding (or within the last six months)
• Certain medications that may interfere with blood clotting: be sure to share all your medical and surgical history with your surgeon

An initial consultation with your surgeon and a mammogram are essential before the procedure.

The Mia procedure is performed in the operating room under local anesthesia assisted with IV sedation (a perfusion in order to relax). The entire process, including anesthesia and implant placement, takes approximately 15 minutes.
Immediately after the procedure, you will return to your room to rest. You can then go home after one hour . Some patients resume their usual activities the same day, maximum after 2-3 days.

Wearing a compression bra is necessary for the three weeks following the procedure.
The implants inserted during a Mia procedure have a lifespan similar to those used in traditional breast augmentation.

The cost of breast augmentation with the Mia procedure is 40 000 AED.
