Minimally invasive aesthetic breast surgery

Minimally invasive breast surgery relies on techniques that allow for precise intervention while minimizing tissue impact. Unlike traditional methods that require larger incisions, this approach uses advanced surgical instruments to reduce the size of the openings needed for implant placement or breast reshaping.

This technique helps to reduce post-operative pain, accelerate healing, and lower the risk of complications. It is ideal for today’s patients who seek harmonious results while minimizing the drawbacks associated with surgery.

Several types of aesthetic breast procedures can be done using minimally invasive techniques, including:

Minimally invasive breast augmentation

This technique allows for the insertion of implants through small incisions, using advanced tools such as sterile insertion sleeves.

Breast lipofilling

This procedure involves injecting the patient’s own fat to enhance breast volume without implants.

Minimally invasive breast lift (mastopexy)

Used to lift the breast while minimizing scarring and preserving tissue flexibility.

At MIB Center Paris, minimally invasive breast surgery follows a structured protocol:

It starts with an initial consultation during which the surgeon evaluates the patient’s goals and proposes the most appropriate technique. A preoperative plan is then put in place, including guidance to support healing and reduce risk.

The procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the case. It involves small incisions and gentle tissue handling to limit trauma.

After surgery, the patient is monitored in a recovery area and can usually go home the same day. Post-operative follow-up includes scheduled consultations to monitor healing and adjust care as needed.

Before surgery, it is important to:

• Stop smoking several weeks in advance to promote proper healing
• Avoid blood-thinning medications such as aspirin and NSAIDs to reduce the risk of bleeding
• Follow fasting instructions if general anesthesia is planned

After surgery, patients are advised to:

• Wear a compression bra to support the breast and minimize swelling
• Avoid strenuous physical activity for several weeks
• Follow the surgeon’s advice for scar care to help reduce their appearance
• Attend all follow-up appointments to ensure proper recovery

Minimally invasive breast surgery offers many advantages over traditional approaches.

Smaller incisions mean less noticeable scarring, contributing to a natural-looking result. The preservation of surrounding tissues significantly reduces pain and inflammation after the procedure.

This technique also supports quicker recovery, allowing patients to return to daily activities sooner. Additionally, by minimizing intraoperative handling, it reduces the risk of infection and other surgical complications.
