Chest harmonisation with the Mia® method
Many women want a natural-looking, harmonious breast shape. The Mia® method is a modern, innovative way of gently shaping the breast without visible incisions. Here you can find out everything you need to know - simply explained and without complicated technical terms.
What is the Mia® method?
The Mia® method is a gentle procedure for breast harmonisation. A small, soft implant is inserted into the breast through a tiny incision. The shape of the round implant is convex on both sides, so rotation and tilting are not a problem. The procedure is short and can be performed under local anaesthetic.
The aim is to achieve a natural appearance, not a bulging or visible implant.

Differences between Mia Femtech™ and implants and autologous fat
Compared to traditional breast augmentation with silicone implants, the Mia® method is much gentler and leaves hardly any scars. Autologous fat transplants require fat from other parts of the body and several sessions. The Mia® method can be combined with the autologous fat method.
| Criterion | Mia® breast harmonisation | Classic breast augmentation | Breast enlargement Own fat |
|---|---|---|---|
| Procedure: | Innovative implant solution focussing on small incisions in the armpit and insertion on the pectoral muscle without cutting through tissue, diamond-shaped implants - thus better projection. Combination with autologous fat possible | Innovative implant solution focussing on small incisions in the armpit and insertion on the pectoral muscle without cutting through tissue, diamond-shaped implants - thus better projection. Combination with autologous fat possible | Liposuction in problem areas and preparation of the autologous fat. This is injected using tiny cannulas |
| Increase in volume: | Can be customised, limited selection of sizes | 1-3+ cup sizes possible | approx. 0.5-1 cup size per session |
| Size predictability: | Precise visualisation using sizers | Very good due to 3D technology | Variable, part of the fat is broken down |
| Durability: | Permanent, implant change likely in the course of life | Permanent, implant change likely in the course of life | Permanent when fat is connected to the vascular system, Fluctuations naturally with weight progression |
| Scars: | Minimal in the armpit, depending on cutting technique | Small incision, usually well hidden in the underbust crease | Very small scars at extraction and injection sites |
| Feel & look: | Natural appearance, modern implant surface | Slightly firmer, large selection of moulds | Natural feeling, hardly recognisable as an operation |
| Risks: | Capsular fibrosis, infection, implant defect BIA ALCL, BII | Capsular fibrosis, infection, implant defect BIA ALCL, BII | Partial resorption, oil cysts, calcifications |
| Multiple interventions: | Rarely necessary, but definitely not a „once in a lifetime“ | Generally not necessary, but definitely not a „once in a lifetime“ | If more volume is required |
| Hospitalisation: | Mostly outpatient | Outpatient and short-stay inpatient | Outpatient and short-stay inpatient |
| Additional benefits: | Focus on inconspicuous natural results | High variance of options and combinations with simultaneous streamlining | Additional body shaping through liposuction |
| Prerequisites: | Regardless of body fat percentage | Regardless of body fat percentage | Sufficient fat reserves required |
| Limitation: | Only suitable for small to medium changes | Relatively flexible resizing possible | Moderate enlargement, limited by fat supply |
