A prospective observational cohort study compared a minimally invasive breast augmentation technique (Mia) with a hybrid technique combining implants and autologous fat grafting in 60 women, using BREAST-Q assessments over 12 months. The study reported that while overall satisfaction was comparable between groups, the Mia technique was associated with a 74% reduction in reported pain, a 41% improvement in nipple sensitivity, and a 61% faster recovery time compared to the hybrid approach.
