Without mesh. Without a bra. No compromises.
The innovative TESMA technique in breast augmentation.
What is Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that aims to improve the shape, size, and symmetry of a woman’s breasts.
Whether you want larger breasts, to correct asymmetry, or to restore volume lost after weight loss, pregnancy, or menopause, breast augmentation can offer transformative, natural results that boost your self-confidence.
It remains the most commonly performed cosmetic surgery worldwide. When performed by an experienced plastic surgeon using modern and reliable techniques, the result is harmonious and long-lasting.
The use of autologous fat instead of implants is not recommended, because the technique cannot be perfected and the result is therefore unpredictable.
The TESMA technique for natural and lasting results.
Scientifically proven, globally recognized.
In all known conventional techniques (dual plane, subfascial, and subglandular), implants are placed in an area without muscle support in the lower pole of the breast, which over time can lead to various problems such as:
- Mandatory use of a bra after surgery to keep the implant in place as much as possible
- Implant failure or “bottoming out,” creating the need for corrective surgery
- Visible or palpable implant
- Unnatural neckline with crown-like inserts
The TESMA technique used by Dr. Stamatis avoids these problems from the outset by placing the implant in a specially designed, extended submuscular pocket that supports the implants, creating an internal muscle bra. This “internal muscle bra” maintains the shape, position, and feel of the breast without relying on sutures, skin tension, or external support.
What makes the TESMA technique unique?
With over three decades of experience in the US and Greece, Dr. Stamatis has specialized knowledge and surgical precision in breast surgery.
TESMA (True Extended SubMuscular Augmentation) is a breast augmentation technique that he has developed, published, and presented at international conferences and in scientific journals.
- It is a mesh-free method, with complete muscular coverage of the implant.
- Creates an internal muscle bra with a natural shape, feel, and long-lasting support.
- It is applicable to all breast types, with or without lift (with TESMA, augmentation with lift is always performed in one stage).
- The result does not depend on wearing a bra after the operation, unlike all other techniques.

Exclusive use of smooth silicone implants
Since 2018, smooth silicone implants have been considered safer for long-term use than textured implants and polyurethane implants, which have been linked to a small percentage of adverse complications.
For this reason:
- The US, Canada, and Australia have abandoned the use of these implants and now use only smooth-surface implants in cosmetic surgery.
- In Europe, the United Kingdom, and the rest of the world, the use of smooth implants is avoided for technical reasons related to the selection of all the conventional techniques mentioned above, despite the reported side effects associated with the use of all other implants.
With the TESMA technique, only smooth implants are used, which allow them to move naturally within the muscle pocket.
The Results of TESMA
TESMA offers long-lasting results that naturally adapt to changes in the body over time.
Frequently Asked Questions about Breast Augmentation (Tesma)
Post-operative pain is minimal. Within three days, the patient can raise her arms without pain and return to office work.
Most patients return to their daily activities within a few days.
- Comfortable arm movement from the 3rd day
- Light activity from the 3rd day
- Full exercise in 3–4 weeks
Implants do not have an “expiration date,” but they are not considered permanent. With the TESMA technique, reoperations are rare and usually related to implant size changes and normal breast aging.
No. Complete muscle coverage ensures that the implants are not detectable to the eye or touch and follow the natural movement of the breast.
TESMA is ideal for:
- women who desire primary augmentation,
- combined augmentation/lift (always in one stage),
- correction of previous unsuccessful procedures.
With the techniques used by Dr. Stamatis, breastfeeding is not affected by breast lift, augmentation, or reduction, because the milk ducts to the nipple remain intact and there are no cases of duct blockage (cystic mastitis).
Conversions & corrections of previous unsuccessful interventions using TESMA
TESMA is not only ideal for primary procedures, but also the best solution for correcting complications from other techniques (dual plane, submastic, subperitoneal).
Even after years, TESMA can be created safely, offering long-lasting results without mesh. Dr. Stamatis has extensive experience in correcting complications from other techniques, restoring:
- proper support
- symmetry
- natural appearance.
TESMA fixes problems such as:
- Shifting of inserts
- “Bottoming out”
- Breast Rippling
- Asymmetry
Capsular contracture from other techniques
