Mia FemTechTM: The Future of Breast Enhancement
Dr. Kristoff Verdonck, Plastic Surgeon at Belgian Beauty Clinic
Breast enhancement has long been associated with invasive procedures, extended recovery times, and significant discomfort. But now, a new technique, Mia FemtechTM, is transforming the field, offering a minimally invasive, fast-recovery alternative. To learn more, PA (Plastic and Aesthetic) Magazine sat down with Dr. Kristoff Verdonck, a leading plastic surgeon at Belgian Beauty Clinic, to discuss this groundbreaking innovation.
What makes Mia®️ different from traditional Breast enhancement techniques?
Mia®️ is developed with women’s health at the forefront. Unlike traditional breast enhancement, which involves cutting and disrupting tissue, Mia®️ is non-invasive and focused on tissue preservation.
This means we don’t damage any natural structures, allowing for a faster and virtually pain-free recovery. Another major difference is that Mia®️ is performed under local anesthesia, so patients avoid the risks associated with general anesthesia. The entire procedure takes about 15 to 20 minutes.
Recovery time is often a concernfor patients. How does Mia®️ address this?
One of the biggest advantages of Mia®️ is its minimal downtime. Many women are hesitant about traditional augmentation because it requires weeks of recovery, but with Mia®️, they can resume work within two to three days and sports activities within two weeks.
This makes it ideal for young mothers, who can still care for their children without the usual lifting restrictions. Athletes and active individuals also benefit because they don’t have to put their fitness routines on hold for long.
How does Mia®️ create a natural look and feel?
The key lies in the placement of the implant and the implant itself. We insert it through a small incision in the armpit, making the scar virtually invisible. The implant is positioned behind the breast gland, maintaining the natural movement and feel of real breast tissue.
Additionally, we use the Ergonomix2® diamond shape Implant, which was specially developed for Mia®️. It’s a super-soft, biocompatible silicone implant that adapts to the body’s natural shape. Once healed, even when touched, it feels just like a real breast.
Who are the ideal candidates for Mia®️?
Mia®️ is designed for a wide range of patients, but it is especially popular among:
• Busy professionals and mothers who need a quick recovery without compromising their daily responsibilities.
• Athletes and fitness enthusiasts who don’t want to pause their training for an extended period.
• Social media influencers and models who prefer minimal visible scarring and a discreet recovery process.
Unlike traditional implants, which require wearing compression bras for weeks, Mia®️ patients can return to normal clothing much sooner.
Pain is often a major concern for patients. How does Mia®️ compare to traditional augmentation?
Pain levels with Mia®️ are significantly lower than traditional breast enhancement. On a pain scale from 1 to 10, most traditional augmentation patients rate their pain between 6 and 8, while Mia®️ patients report a maximum of 2 or 3. Because the procedure is minimally invasive and performed under local anesthesia, there is almost no need for painkillers, just an ice pack for mild swelling.
Are the results long-lasting?
Yes, Mia®️ provides stable and long-lasting results. The lightweight nature of the implant reduces sagging, and MRI studies have shown that the results remain consistent over time.
Additionally, Mia®️ implants are safer, with a much lower risk of bleeding, infection, or complications compared to traditional breast enhancement. In fact, at our clinic, we haven’t encountered a single case of infection or bleeding in our Mia®️ patients so far.
Have you noticed a shift in patient preferences towards less invasive procedures?
Absolutely. In the past, many women opted for larger implants, but over time, they faced complications like neck and back pain, sagging, and skin rippling. Now, there is a clear trend toward natural, proportionate results. Women today want enhancement without excess, something that fits their lifestyle and body type. Mia®️ delivers on that front by offering subtle augmentation of one to two cup sizes with a natural feel.
What do you see as the future of breast enhancement?
The future is tissue preservation and patient safety. The next step is the Motiva PreservéTM, which is similar to Mia®️ but accommodates slightly larger implants while maintaining a minimally invasive approach.
I also applaud companies like Motiva, which are investing in biocompatible implants and extensive research to ensure safer, more natural options. The focus is shifting toward putting women’s health first, and that’s exactly where the industry should be headed.
What has been the most common feedback from your Mia®️ patients?
The most consistent feedback is amazement at how fast and painless the procedure is. Many women are initially concerned because they’ve heard stories about the pain and long recovery of traditional augmentation, but after Mia®️, they’re shocked at how easy the experience is.
Another frequent comment is that the results look and feel incredibly natural. Many say that even when they touch their own breasts, they can’t distinguish between natural tissue and the implant, which is the ultimate goal of modern augmentation techniques.
Final Thoughts: The New Standard in Breast enhancement
With its minimally invasive nature, quick recovery, and natural results, Mia®️ is redefining the way women approach breast enhancement.
As Dr. Verdonck highlights, patient safety and satisfaction are at the heart of this innovation. For those seeking a seamless, pain-free enhancement that fits into their busy lifestyles, Mia®️ is proving to be the future of aesthetic breast surgery.
