Before breast tissue preservation

10 questions to ask during consultation

Here are the top questions to ask your surgeon before your breast tissue preservation procedure:

1. Am I a good candidate for the procedure?

Breast tissue preservation isn’t suitable for everyone. Your surgeon will assess things like your current breast tissue, skin elasticity and overall aesthetic goals. If you are looking to maintain natural support and reduce surgical trauma, this may be a suitable approach for you.

2. How does this technique differ from traditional breast augmentation?

Breast tissue preservation differs from traditional breast augmentation by focusing on minimising trauma, protecting internal ligaments and supporting better long-term outcomes. Techniques such as blunt dissection and hydrodissection are used to create a more natural look and promote smoother healing.

3. What type of implant or enhancement option is best for me?

Your surgeon will help you choose the most suitable option based on your goals and anatomy. Common recommendations include:

 
• Mia Femtech – A minimally invasive technique for subtle enhancement
 
• Breast fat transfer – Uses your own fat for a natural look and feel
 
• Breast implants – Provides more volume while preserving existing tissue
 
• Subglandular placement – Avoids the chest muscles for more natural movement

4. What can I expect during recovery?

Recovery varies depending on the technique used, but with reduced trauma, healing tends to be quicker. Patients often experience:

 
• Less postoperative pain
 
• Reduced swelling and bruising
 
• A faster return to normal routines

5. What are the risks and potential complications?

Although breast tissue preservation is designed to lower risks such as capsular contracture and noticeable scarring, it's still important to talk through:

 
• The likelihood of needing revisions in the future
 
• Risk of implant movement or shifting
 
• Your expected healing process and any factors that might affect recovery

7. Can I see before-and-after images of your previous patients?

Each surgeon has their own technique, so reviewing before-and-after photos—especially of patients with similar body types—can help you understand what results may be achievable in your case and set realistic expectations.

8. What type of anaesthesia will be used?

Some procedures are done under local anaesthesia with sedation, while others may require general anaesthesia. Your surgeon will recommend the most appropriate option based on your individual needs and comfort.

9. What are my long-term maintenance needs?

While preserving natural breast tissue can support long-term stability, it’s still important to talk about:

 
• Whether and when touch-up procedures might be needed
 
• How implants, if used, may change over time
 
• The impact of lifestyle factors such as pregnancy and weight changes
