Preservé by Motiva
Preservation Breast Augmentation, or Preservé by Motiva, is a groundbreaking approach to breast enhancement. Unlike traditional methods that cut through and disrupt supportive breast ligaments, this technique preserves your natural anatomy by creating a pocket for the implant with minimal tissue trauma. The result? A more natural look and feel, superior long-term stability, and a much easier recovery.
How Is It Different from Traditional Breast Augmentation?
- Preservé technique: Utilizes specialized Motiva tools to gently separate and preserve the ligaments and tissues. The implant is “nested” within the breast’s natural support system, minimizing the risk of future sagging or malposition.
- Smaller incision: Only 2–3 cm, hidden in the breast crease, resulting in less noticeable scars.
- Faster recovery: Most patients are back to light activities within a day, with significantly less discomfort and swelling.
Who Is an Ideal Candidate?
- Individuals seeking their first breast augmentation
- Those combining augmentation with a breast lift (mastopexy)
- Patients who want a natural look and feel, minimal downtime, and long-term support
The Preservé by Motiva Procedure: Step-by-Step
- Consultation and Planning: We will assess your goals, take precise measurements, and use 3D imaging to help select the right implant size and profile for your body.
- Anesthesia: The procedure is typically performed with intravenous sedation and local anesthesia, often allowing you to be awake or nearly awake during surgery.
- Incision: A small (¾–1 inch) incision is made in the lower breast crease.
- Ultrasound Guidance: Local anesthesia is administered with ultrasound to ensure perfect placement and comfort.
- Pocket Creation:
- A specialized channel separator gently creates a tunnel through the breast tissue and ligaments without cutting them.
- An inflatable balloon is used to carefully form the pocket, pushing tissues aside rather than cutting through them.
- Implant Placement: The Motiva Ergonomix2® SmoothSilk® implant is inserted using a funnel, ensuring a no-touch technique for maximum safety and minimal trauma.
- Closure: The incision is closed, leaving a short, discreet scar.
What Makes Motiva Implants Special?
- SmoothSilk® surface: Designed to minimize inflammation and reduce the risk of complications.
- Ergonomix2® shape: Moves and feels like natural breast tissue, adapting to your body’s position.
