What is Tissue Preserving Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation has evolved far beyond the traditional approach. Today, women seek results that are more natural-looking, longer-lasting, and require less downtime. Two cutting-edge techniques — Motiva Minimally Invasive Augmentation (MIA) and Preservè — are leading this transformation.
As one of the very few UK surgeons certified in both techniques, and a Preservè trainer who teaches other surgeons internationally, I offer my patients an unmatched level of expertise in these advanced methods right here in London.
In this article, I’ll explain how MIA and Preservè differ from traditional augmentation, the unique benefits of each, and why Preservè is considered the future of breast surgery.
1. How Traditional Breast Augmentation Works
Traditional augmentation involves:
Incisions typically 4–6 cm in length, placed in the inframammary fold, around the areola, or in the armpit.
Tissue dissection to create a pocket for the implant.
Recovery often includes more swelling, discomfort, and longer downtime.
Implant placement often involves more disruption to breast tissue and ligaments.
While traditional techniques can achieve excellent results, many patients now seek a less invasive, quicker-recovery option.
2. What is MIA (Minimally Invasive Augmentation)?
MIA is an innovative technique designed for women seeking subtle, natural enhancement with minimal downtime.
Key benefits:
Tiny 2–3 cm incision hidden in the armpit fold
Specialised instruments and the Motiva® minimal access system reduce trauma to surrounding tissues.
Less swelling, bruising, and faster return to normal activities — many patients are back to light activity within days.
Ideal for women wanting modest size increases (usually up to 190cc).
As one of only four MIA-certified surgeons in the UK, I have performed numerous successful procedures, ensuring consistently natural and refined results.
3. What is Preservè?
Preservè is an advanced breast-preserving augmentation technique designed for women who want:
Larger volume options than MIA allows.
Maximum preservation of their own breast tissue, ligaments, and nerve supply.
Exceptional shape and longevity of results.
Why Preservè is different:
Instead of fully cutting the inframammary fold, Preservè works with the natural anatomy, preserving the breast footprint.
Ligaments, vascular supply, and nerves are protected — helping maintain sensation and reducing long-term sagging.
Can be performed through a smaller incision than traditional augmentation - 2cm, with less tissue trauma.
Compatible with Motiva Ergonomix®2 and other premium implants.
I am the one of the only surgeons in London who both performs and teaches Preservè, giving my patients access to the very latest refinements in the technique.
