Many patients would like to know exactly how a breast augmentation with Mia Femtech™ works before undergoing the procedure. Below is an overview of the individual steps of the treatment, from the consultation to post-operative care.
Detailed advice
During a personalized and in-depth consultation, Dr. Lüdi takes the time to fully understand your wishes and expectations, analyzes your anatomical characteristics, and provides you with comprehensive information about the procedure, the possible outcomes, and answers all your questions. Using modern 3D simulations (Crisalix), the desired result can be visualized. We will also discuss whether Mia Femtech™ is the right method for you or if another technique might be more suitable. Dr. Lüdi specializes in breast surgery and offers the full range of techniques and procedures.
The operation
The procedure takes a total of 20–30 minutes and is performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia or twilight sedation. Through a very small incision in the armpit, the space for the implant is gently prepared using a balloon, which merely stretches the tissue without cutting through it. The implant is then placed beneath the mammary gland and in front of the pectoral muscle using a special injector, without coming into direct contact with the skin or the edges of the incision (no-touch technique). This gentle and precise technique preserves important breast ligaments and protects the mammary gland tissue, enabling rapid and pain-free healing.

Recovery and aftercare
After a short recovery period and care from our Mia concierge, you can leave our clinic again. Most patients can return to their normal daily routine the very next day and are also fit for work again. There is usually very little pain. A supportive bra is worn for the first few weeks after the operation. Exercise can be resumed in full as early as 3 weeks after the operation, which is significantly faster than with traditional breast augmentation techniques.
