MIA Femtech™

The advantages of Mia Femtech™

The operation is performed under twilight sleep and is supervised at all times by a anesthesiologist. With the Mia Femtech™ experience the breast tissue is gently pushed aside through a small incision in the armpit by means of a balloon, but without cutting important retaining and vascular structures of the breast. This creates the space for the implant without cutting through anything. The implant is then gently inserted into the breast with an insertion aid using a true “no-touch technique”. This means that at no time does the inserted implant come into contact with either the patient’s skin or the surgeon’s gloves.

The world of aesthetic surgery is experiencing a revolution: Dr Lorenz Larcher, renowned specialist in plastic, aesthetic and reconstructive surgery from Bolzano, is the first surgeon in Italy to introduce a new, minimally invasive technique for breast harmonisation. This method enables women to optimise their breast shape in a natural way - with minimal intervention and a surprisingly short recovery time. The approach is not made in the underbust crease but via the armpit.

‘Many patients want a harmonious and natural result, but want to avoid the risks and long downtime of traditional surgery,’ explains Dr Larcher. The new technique makes exactly that possible. The total time patients spend in the clinic is around 90 minutes. The actual procedure only takes a short time, often just 15 minutes. Thanks to the minimally invasive procedure, implantation is performed without a general anaesthetic. For many patients, this means that after a short recovery weekend, they can return to their usual activities - in some cases even on the same day.

At the heart of the method is an innovative high-tech system that preserves the natural structure of the breast tissue. During the procedure, the breast tissue is gently pushed aside without cutting through it. The implant is then inserted using a patented injection technique. This not only minimises post-operative discomfort, but also reduces the risk of visible scars, as access is discreet via a short incision in the armpit.

The use of biocompatible implants with a special micro-coating is particularly noteworthy. This technology promotes a low rate of inflammation and ensures a soft, natural feel. ‘Patients report a harmonious result with an enlargement of up to two cup sizes without the breasts appearing artificial,’ says Dr Larcher.

Another advantage is that the technique does not require the use of a scalpel in the breast area. This means that the important anatomical structures of the breast remain intact, which not only ensures a natural appearance but also preserves the integrity of the tissue.

‘Our patients particularly appreciate the combination of short treatment time, quick recovery and natural results,’ emphasises Dr Larcher. ‘As a plastic surgeon, my goal is to offer state-of-the-art techniques that meet the needs of today's women safely, effectively and with the highest level of aesthetics.’

With the introduction of this technique, Dr Larcher has positioned himself as a pioneer of aesthetic breast surgery in Italy. Women who are interested in this method can contact his practice in Bolzano and benefit from his certified expertise.
