MIA Femtech and Preservé consultation checklist

Prepare for your first conversation

Write down what you would like to change: overall volume, upper-breast fullness, shape, asymmetry, or breast position. Also note what you would prefer to avoid, such as a particular scar location or a change that feels too large.

Have a list of previous operations, medical conditions, allergies, medications, and supplements available. Mention previous breast implants, pregnancy or breastfeeding plans, and any breast symptoms or relevant investigations. Ask the clinic which records, photographs, or measurements it needs and how to provide them. Wait for instructions before sending clinical photographs or medical documents.

If you are traveling, share your country of residence, possible travel dates, work commitments, and whether someone could accompany you. These details help frame the discussion; they do not determine whether surgery is appropriate.

Questions about MIA and Preservé

Suitability and alternatives

• What findings in my examination make MIA or Preservé appropriate, or unsuitable, for me?
• Is my main concern volume, breast position, or a shape problem that needs a different correction?
• Would conventional augmentation, a breast lift, a combined procedure, or no surgery better match my goals?

MIA and Preservé are implant-based surgical approaches, not nonsurgical fillers. The clinic describes MIA as using an underarm incision and Preservé as using the fold beneath the breast. A preference for one scar location does not, by itself, establish suitability. Read the comparison of MIA Femtech and Preservé for background before your assessment.

Size and the result you want

• Which implant options fit my tissue coverage and body proportions, and why?
• What could this approach change, and what would it not correct?
• What are the limits of predicting a bra cup size, breast shape, or final result?

Bring examples of the look you prefer, rather than treating another patient's implant volume as your prescription. The before-and-after gallery can help you explain your preferences. Photographs show individual outcomes; they are not promises. If 3D simulation is used, ask what it can illustrate and what it cannot predict.

Incision and anesthesia

• Where would my incision and implant pocket be, and what scar should I expect?
• Which anesthetic plan do you recommend for my health and procedure?
• What monitoring is provided, and in what circumstances might the anesthetic plan need to change?

A minimally invasive approach still involves an operation and a scar. Local anesthesia with sedation is also an anesthetic plan, not an absence of anesthesia. For context, see the clinic's guide to breast augmentation without general anesthesia.

Risks and longer-term care

• Which surgical and implant-related risks matter most in my case?
• How would a complication be assessed and treated, including after I return home?
• What implant documentation, monitoring, and warranty information will I receive?

Breast implants are not lifetime devices, and further treatment or surgery may be needed. Tissue preservation does not remove implant-related risks. Ask for the applicable written warranty terms rather than assuming that all medical costs, accommodation, or return travel would be covered. The FDA's patient information explains general implant risks; the clinic's MIA and Preservé safety guide discusses the approaches in context.

Questions about recovery and returning home

Ask for a plan that distinguishes gentle daily activity, work, lifting, exercise, driving, and travel. These are different milestones, not interchangeable definitions of recovery. General ASPS recovery guidance emphasizes following your surgeon's instructions; it is not a personalized timetable for MIA or Preservé.

• Which checks must take place in Madrid, and how long should I allow for them?
• What assistance will I need at my accommodation after discharge?
• How will you assess whether I am ready for my return journey?
• Which follow-up can happen remotely, and when would an examination be necessary?
• Who should I contact for a concern, and what should I do in an emergency?

Agree the proposed stay and follow-up arrangements before committing to flights. Ask what happens if recovery takes longer than expected. In an emergency, seek local urgent care rather than waiting for a remote response. The international patient guide explains how assessment, travel, and follow-up fit together.

Understand the written costs

The clinic's stated consultation fee is 100 EUR. Ask which appointment you are booking: an initial video consultation and an in-person consultation in Madrid are separate appointment types. Confirm the fee and arrangements when booking; do not assume that a consultation payment is deducted from surgery unless this is expressly confirmed.

For a surgical proposal, check the procedure and implant, hospital and anesthesia arrangements, planned reviews, and any exclusions. Ask how additional treatment would be handled and charged if needed. Use the MIA and Preservé price guide as background, then request a written quote for your case.

Optional Panathea premium support starts from 2,000 EUR in addition to surgery. Accommodation, transfers, a chauffeur, and other customized services are not automatically included in that starting price. Ask for a proposal specifying the services you want and the total cost. This optional support does not replace surgical follow-up or emergency care.

Leave the consultation with these points clear

• The recommended option, its alternatives, and any assessment still needed.
• The intended change and the important limits of the procedure.
• The proposed incision, implant, and anesthetic plan.
• The risks discussed and the written information you need to review.
• The quote, inclusions, exclusions, and booking terms.
• The Madrid reviews, travel arrangements, and follow-up after returning home.

Further patient information

• American Society of Plastic Surgeons consultation questions provides a general starting point for discussions with a surgeon. Its US-specific credential and facility questions should be interpreted in the context of the country where treatment takes place.
• American Society of Plastic Surgeons breast augmentation risks describes general surgical risks, not a comparative risk estimate for MIA and Preservé.
• American Society of Plastic Surgeons recovery information provides general guidance rather than the clinic's individual postoperative protocol.
• FDA breast implant risks and complications discusses implant safety and longer-term considerations. This source is not a statement of regulatory approval for a particular technique in Spain.
