Breast Augmentation With Local Anaesthesia: A Calmer, Faster Path to Natural Beauty
For many women, the idea of breast augmentation surgery is exciting but clouded by worries: “Will I be safe under general anaesthesia?” “Will recovery take weeks?” “Will I be left with visible scars?”
At the Marcos Sforza Clinic, we understand these concerns. That’s why Professor Marcos Sforza leads the way with breast augmentation under local anaesthesia, a refined approach that keeps you comfortable, conscious, and in control. With Mia® Femtech—a revolutionary 15-minute, tissue-preserving method—you can now achieve your breast goals with minimal downtime, no breast scars, and the reassurance of an ultra-safe technique.
What Does Breast Augmentation with Local Anaesthesia Involve?
Instead of full general anaesthesia, only the breast area is numbed, often combined with gentle sedation so you remain calm and drowsy. You’ll breathe on your own and avoid the grogginess and throat soreness that can follow traditional surgery.
At our Harley Street practice, Professor Sforza uses BIS™ conscious monitoring—a system that precisely tracks your comfort and sedation levels, ensuring safety throughout the procedure.
This technique pairs perfectly with Mia Femtech, which uses a 2 cm incision hidden in the underarm, leaving your breast tissue untouched and no scars on the breast itself.
The Advantages Patients Love
Choosing breast augmentation local anaesthesia brings multiple benefits, particularly when combined with Mia Femtech:
- Reduced risks: By avoiding deep general anaesthesia, you sidestep many common side effects such as nausea or airway irritation.
- Faster recovery: Many patients return to light activity in 24–48 hours and resume gentle exercise after just one week.
- Minimal scarring: Mia Femtech’s trans-axillary incision ensures no visible breast scars—ideal for women worried about long-term marks.
- Patient empowerment: Remaining awake allows you to feel more in control and even contribute to positioning if requested.
- Cost-effectiveness: Shorter surgical times and reduced hospital stay make this a more accessible choice for many.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
You may be an excellent candidate for breast augmentation under local anaesthesia if you:
- Are in good health and seeking a subtle, natural enhancement (typically up to 350cc implants or fat-transfer augmentation).
- Prefer avoiding the risks of general anaesthetic.
- Value quick recovery and minimal disruption to daily life.
- Want to avoid visible scars—something Mia Femtech makes uniquely possible.
For patients seeking larger implants or complex revisions, general anaesthesia may still be recommended, but Professor Sforza tailors each plan to your needs.

Addressing Common Concerns
“Will I feel everything?”
No. Local anaesthetic and light sedation mean you’ll be deeply relaxed, with little memory of the procedure.
“Is it less safe than general?”
On the contrary, avoiding general anaesthesia reduces systemic risks and speeds recovery. With BIS™ monitoring, your comfort and safety are constantly assured.
“What about scars?”
Traditional augmentation often leaves breast-fold scars. With Mia Femtech under local anaesthesia, your incision is just 2 cm and hidden discreetly in the underarm.
