How Has Breast Implant Technology Evolved?

Over the past few decades, breast implants have come a long way. Early breast implant models were made with thicker shells and less cohesive gel filler, often resulting in a less natural look and feel or increased complications like capsular contracture. Surgical techniques were also more invasive, involving significant tissue disruption, longer recoveries, and larger scars.

Today, the focus of breast augmentation is on creating implants that move and feel like natural breast tissue while minimizing tissue trauma during placement. New tools and methods, such as Motiva Preservé™, allow for gentler procedures, smaller incisions, and faster healing—all without compromising on results.

What Is Motiva Preservé™?

Motiva Preservé™ is an advanced, minimally invasive breast augmentation system designed by Motiva®, a leading innovator in breast implant technology. The Preservé™ system integrates state-of-the-art tools and proprietary implants to enhance surgical safety, reduce tissue trauma, and improve the overall aesthetic outcome of your breast augmentation procedure.

The tools used in the Motiva Preservé™ system include:

Motiva® Channel Separator

A surgical tool used to create a tissue tunnel, helping to form the implant pocket with minimal disruption to the surrounding area.

Motiva® Inflatable Balloon

This inflatable balloon gently expands the implant pocket without cutting, reducing bleeding and trauma to your breast tissue.

Insertion Sleeve

A no-touch breast implant delivery device that prevents contamination of the implant during placement.

SmoothSilk Ergonomix® Implants

A soft, natural-feeling breast implant that artfully mimics the natural movement and feel of real breast tissue. SmoothSilk Ergonomix® implants are Motiva’s most advanced breast implants to date.

What Sets Preservé™ Apart From Other Breast Augmentation Techniques?

Motiva Preservé™ offers innovative breast augmentation materials, tools, and techniques for better results, a safer procedure, and more comfortable healing. So, what sets it apart from traditional breast augmentation techniques?

Advanced Surgical Tools

Traditional breast augmentation methods rely on cutting and manipulation of breast tissue to create the breast pocket and place the implant. Motiva Preservé™ replaces that with precision tools that work with your body, reducing tissue trauma and discomfort during recovery.

Innovative Materials

The SmoothSilk Ergonomix® breast implants are engineered to mimic the feel and movement of your natural breast tissue, offering results that are unmatched by other implant types.

More Comfortable Healing

Because Motiva Preservé™ causes less trauma to surrounding tissues, patients experience ultra-fast recoveries, fewer complications, and smaller scars. In fact, many patients experience a recovery time that is less than 24 hours.

What Can I Expect From My Motiva Preservé™ Experience?

At Southwest Plastic Surgery, Dr. Frank Agullo is committed to staying on the cutting edge of advancements in cosmetic surgery. As such, he is one of the few plastic surgeons trained and certified in the Motiva Preservé™ technique. Therefore, during your breast preservation augmentation with Motiva Preservé™, you can expect Dr. Agullo to perform the procedure with surgical precision, prioritizing safety and beautiful results.

After you’re comfortably under anesthesia, Dr. Agullo begins your breast augmentation by using the Motiva® Channel Separator to gently create the implant pocket by separating tissues rather than cutting through them. Next, he uses the Motiva® Inflatable Balloon to gradually expand and shape the implant pocket. This controlled expansion allows for precise tissue manipulation without aggressive stretching, reducing tissue trauma.

Once the breast pocket is prepared, the Insertion Sleeve is then used to place the implant. This no-touch implant delivery system ensures that the breast implant glides smoothly into place, lowering the risk of infection and complications like capsular contracture. After the implants are properly positioned, the incisions are closed, and you’re ready for a fast, safe recovery. Thanks to the minimally invasive Motiva Preservé™ technique and tools, many patients can return to their daily activities within 24 hours and regular exercise within two weeks.
