Mia Femtech™ offers a revolutionary, minimally invasive approach to breast augmentation. Before undergoing the procedure, it’s essential to be well-informed and prepared. Here’s what you can expect and how to get ready for your Mia® procedure at iQonic Aesthetics.
What is Mia Femtech™?
Mia Femtech™ is a minimally invasive procedure that uses small, biodegradable implants to enhance breast size with minimal downtime. Unlike traditional breast augmentation, Mia Femtech™ requires only local anaesthesia and can be performed in an outpatient setting, allowing patients to return to their daily activities within a couple of days.
Preparation Steps for Your Mia® Procedure
Consultation and Planning
- Initial Consultation: Schedule an initial consultation with a qualified surgeon to discuss your goals and expectations. During this meeting, your surgeon will assess your suitability for the Mia® procedure and explain what results you can expect.
- Creating a Plan: Work with your surgeon to create a personalised plan that aligns with your aesthetic goals. This plan will outline the specifics of your procedure, including the size and type of implants to be used.
Medical Evaluation
- Health Assessment: Prior to the procedure, you’ll need to undergo a thorough medical evaluation to ensure you are in good health. This will include blood tests and a physical examination.
- Medical History Review: Your surgeon will review your medical history to identify any potential contraindications. It’s important to disclose all current medications, supplements, and any previous surgeries.
Pre-Procedure Guidelines
- Medication Adjustments: Certain medications, such as blood thinners and anti-inflammatory drugs, should be stopped prior to the procedure. Always follow your surgeon’s specific instructions regarding medication.
- Dietary Restrictions: If the procedure involves sedation, you may be required to fast for several hours beforehand. Follow any dietary restrictions or guidelines provided by your surgeon.
- Lifestyle Changes: In the weeks leading up to your Mia® procedure, make healthy lifestyle choices to optimise your overall health and recovery. This includes maintaining a balanced diet, staying hydrated, and refraining from smoking.
On the Day of the Procedure
Arrival and Setup
- Early Arrival: Arrive at the clinic early to allow time for any final preparations and to meet with your surgeon and medical team.
- Comfortable Attire: Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that is easy to remove and put on, as you will be changing into a medical gown for the procedure.
The Procedure
- Anaesthesia: The Mia® procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, ensuring that you are comfortable throughout. The medical team at iQonic Aesthetics is dedicated to your comfort and safety.
- Procedure Steps: Your surgeon will begin by making a small incision, through which the Mia® implant will be inserted. The process is quick and precise, typically taking between 15-30 minutes per breast.
Post-Procedure Immediate Care
- Recovery Time: After the procedure, you will spend a brief time at the medical centre for monitoring and to receive post-operative care instructions.
- Pain Management: Some discomfort and mild swelling are normal after the procedure. Your surgeon will prescribe pain relief medication to help manage any discomfort in the immediate post-operative period.
Post-Procedure Care and Recovery
Immediate Post-Operative Care
- Rest and Recuperation: Plan to rest at home for the first 24-48 hours following the procedure. Have a comfortable space set up where you can relax with pillows to support your upper body.
- Pain Management: Take prescribed pain medications as directed. If you experience severe pain or unusual symptoms, contact your surgeon immediately.
Follow-Up Appointments
- Scheduled Visits: Attend all follow-up appointments with your surgeon to monitor your recovery and ensure the implants are settling correctly.
Long-Term Care
- Activity Restrictions: Avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for a period recommended by your surgeon, typically a few weeks. This helps ensure the implants settle correctly and minimises the risk of complications.
- Healthy Lifestyle: Maintain a healthy lifestyle to support healing and ensure long-term satisfaction with your Mia Femtech™ results.
