Ukrainian surgeons have mastered a new era of mammoplasty in Sweden: what will change.

According to ТСН: The surgeons of the Lita Plus clinic, Serhiy Derbak and Oleksandr Karpinsky, visited Victoria Kliniken in Stockholm — one of the leading centers for modern mammoplasty. During their internship, they had the opportunity to observe daily surgeries, study the techniques of the Randquist team, and familiarize themselves with the philosophy of "tissue preservation of the breast."

What are PRESERVE and MIA and what does it mean for patients

PRESERVE and MIA (Minimal Invasive Augmentation) methods are two innovative approaches in mammoplasty that set new standards of safety and aesthetics with minimal trauma.

PRESERVE — maximum preservation of breast tissue

In traditional mammoplasty methods, the surgeon makes incisions that are accompanied by significant damage. The PRESERVE method allows for the placement of implants using special instruments that do not disrupt the integrity of the tissue.

This provides numerous advantages:

• Small incision — about 2-2.5 cm, minimizing scars;

• Preservation of a large amount of natural tissue, improving the natural appearance;

• Use of "no-touch" technique to reduce contamination risk;

• Shortened rehabilitation periods due to delicate creation of a pocket for the implant.

MIA — minimally invasive augmentation with access through the armpit

The MIA method is performed in an even gentler way, often through an incision under the armpit. This allows for:

• Avoidance of scars on the breasts;

• Insertion of light elastic implants through a small area;

• Rapid recovery — patients can quickly return to their usual activities.

When using MIA, tools are employed that allow for implant placement without a direct incision, thus helping to preserve the natural structures of the breasts.

“For patients, these techniques mean a completely different level of comfort and predictability. The incisions are minimal — they are almost unnoticeable, recovery is short and much easier, and the pain and swelling are significantly less. We preserve the natural structure and sensitivity of the breasts, which is important even from the standpoint of lactation capability. And most importantly — the result looks natural and maintains stability in the long-term perspective,”

Professional experience of Ukrainian surgeons at Victoria Kliniken

During their internship, surgeons observed numerous surgeries using the PRESERVE and MIA methodologies, as well as studied the Randquist approaches to working with Motiva implants.

Oleksandr Karpinsky emphasizes:

“The Randquist techniques change the perception of breast augmentation. It’s not about larger volume — it’s about anatomical precision, tissue preservation, and safety. This is precisely the direction that Ukrainian surgery should move towards.”

Serhiy Derbak also had the opportunity to assist in an abdominoplasty with Dr. Randquist, which became a unique experience.

LITA PLUS is already preparing to implement these methodologies

Despite the fact that the PRESERVE and MIA methods are not yet available in Ukraine, the Lita Plus team is actively preparing for their introduction, which will allow it to become one of the first clinics to employ the latest mammoplasty technologies.

Serhiy Derbak states:

“For Ukrainian medicine, this means a qualitative leap forward. Our surgeons gain direct access to the source of leading European methodologies, and clinics have the opportunity to implement technologies that meet the highest international standards. Patients, in turn, will have access to safer and less invasive surgeries with predictable long-term results…”

LITA PLUS continues to develop international cooperation, invests in education, and brings modern technologies to Ukraine so that patients receive treatment at the level of the best European clinics.

It is important to note that these new methods have become a step forward in the development of mammoplasty, providing patients not only with aesthetic results but also reducing risks and shortening recovery times. With the implementation of PRESERVE and MIA technologies, Ukrainian women will have the opportunity to receive medical assistance at an international level.
