Breast augmentation has long been one of the most popular cosmetic procedures available, and as technology evolves, so does the sophistication and safety of the surgery and implants themselves. Today’s breast augmentation patients aren’t just looking for larger breasts—they want beautiful, natural-looking results with minimal scarring, reduced risk of complications, and faster recovery.
If you’re seeking this type of revolutionary, minimally invasive approach to breast augmentation, look no further than Motiva Preservé™ at Southwest Plastic Surgery. Designed with patient safety, comfort, and aesthetics in mind, this next-generation approach combines advanced breast implant technology with precise breast preservation surgical techniques to deliver superior breast augmentation results with an ultra-fast recovery.
What Is Motiva Preservé™?
Motiva Preservé™ is an advanced, minimally invasive breast augmentation system that prioritizes patient safety, tissue preservation, and long-term aesthetic outcomes. Developed by Motiva®, a leader in next-generation breast implant technologies, Preservé combines a series of patented devices and implants to optimize your entire breast augmentation process, from pocket creation to implant insertion and final positioning. The primary goals of the Motiva Preservé™ technique are a focus on minimal trauma breast implant insertion, improved surgical precision, cutting-edge implant technology, and a faster recovery.
The Motiva Preservé™ technique is comprised of several proprietary tools and materials designed to work in harmony:
Motiva® Channel Separator
A surgical instrument that creates a precise tunnel within the breast tissue, which helps form the implant pocket while minimizing damage to the surrounding tissues.
Motiva® Inflatable Balloon
This tool gently expands the breast tissue without cutting, providing better precision and allowing for the implant pocket to be created without aggressive manipulation. This helps maintain tissue integrity and reduces bleeding.
Insertion Sleeve
A no-touch breast implant delivery device that allows the implant to be placed smoothly and safely without direct contact, reducing the risk of contamination and capsular contracture.
SmoothSilk Ergonomix® Implants
Motiva’s most advanced implant features an ultra-soft, biocompatible shell and an ergonomic shape that mimics the natural movement of real breast tissue. Motiva SmoothSilk Ergonomix® silicone gel implants are FDA‑approved for breast augmentation in patients 22 and older, including primary augmentation and revision augmentation. Implant choice is based on anatomy and goals and will be finalized during the consultation.
What Are the Benefits of Motiva Preservé™?
Patients and surgeons alike tout the benefits of the Motiva Preservé™ advanced breast augmentation preservation technique, including:
Reduced Trauma
Advanced tools allow for less tissue disruption, meaning less pain, bruising, and swelling after surgery.
Tissue Preservation
Since the procedure doesn’t involve cutting, nerves, arteries, and ducts are not disrupted. By preserving these important structures, there is less chance of loss of sensation and loss of breast function.
Precise Implant Placement
Tools like the Channel Separator and Balloon allow surgeons unparalleled accuracy when positioning the breast implant.
Increased Volume
A major benefit of breast preservation augmentation is that smaller breast implants will give a larger result when compared to traditional breast augmentation methods. This increase in volume is due to the presence of more preserved tissue and reduced trauma. For example, a 215cc SmoothSilk Ergonomix® implant will look as voluminous as a typical 315–350cc implant inserted using traditional augmentation methods. The maximum implant size for the Motiva Preservé™ technique is 315cc.
Uses Your Breasts’ Natural Support
The Preservé™ procedure preserves the natural supporting ligaments of the breast, doing away with the need for additional mesh support. The implants are placed above the muscle and under the breast gland—a unique space that ensures circumferential ligament support.
Minimal Scarring
The Preservé™ insertion method uses smaller incisions than traditional breast augmentation, resulting in more discreet scars.
Lower Risk of Complications
No-touch breast implant insertion, biocompatible implants, and reduced tissue trauma all contribute to a decreased risk of capsular contracture and infection.
Natural Look and Feel
Ergonomix® implants move and settle like natural breast tissue.
Faster Recovery
Because there’s less trauma to the breast tissue, patients often experience ultra-fast recovery and less discomfort compared to other methods of breast augmentation. Most Preservé™ patients experience an initial ultra-fast recovery time of less than 24 hours.
Am I a Good Candidate for Motiva Preservé™?
If you’re in good overall health, have realistic expectations for your breast augmentation results, and are seeking breast enhancement performed with the most advanced techniques and tools available, you may be an excellent candidate for Motiva Preservé™. Motiva Preservé™ is ideal for patients who want:
- A more natural breast appearance and feel
- A lower-risk breast augmentation procedure
- The latest in implant and surgical technology and technique
- A smoother, easier recovery process
The best way to find out if you are a good candidate for Motiva Preservé™ is to come in for a consultation with Dr. Frank Agullo at Southwest Plastic Surgery. He will listen to your concerns and goals for treatment and determine if Motiva Preservé™ advanced breast augmentation is right for you.
If you move forward with the Preservé™ technique, Dr. Agullo and the team will help you visualize your results using their advanced VECTRA® 3D and Crisalix imaging systems. This cutting-edge technology allows you to see what results are possible, both in the office and in the comfort of your own home.
How Is Motiva Preservé™ Performed?
Motiva Preservé™ is a precise, step-by-step breast augmentation process. Once you are comfortable under general anesthesia or conscious sedation, Dr. Agullo employs the following steps for your procedure:
Tunneling With the Motiva® Channel Separator
Rather than traditional cutting techniques, Dr. Agullo begins the procedure by making an incision and using the Channel Separator to gently separate tissues and form the implant pocket. This significantly reduces bleeding and trauma.
Controlled Tissue Elongation With the Motiva® Inflatable Balloon
Next, the balloon is inserted and expands the breast pocket gradually and evenly, shaping the area for the implant without the need for aggressive stretching or cutting.
Placement of SmoothSilk Ergonomix® Implant Using the Insertion Sleeve
Using the no-touch sleeve, which minimizes skin and implant contact, the implant is smoothly placed into the prepared breast pocket, decreasing the risk of contamination and helping to ensure precise and natural results.
Once the procedure is complete, Dr. Agullo closes the incisions, and you’re on your way to recovery.
What Is Recovery Like After Motiva Preservé™?
Thanks to its low-trauma technique, recovery from Motiva Preservé™ breast augmentation is generally faster and more comfortable than recovery after traditional breast augmentation. While everyone heals at different rates, in general, most Motiva Preservé™ patients can expect:
- Less post-operative discomfort
- Reduced swelling and bruising
- Shorter downtime compared to traditional breast augmentation
- Minimal scarring due to smaller incisions
- Return to regular activity within 24 hours
- Resume exercise, often within two weeks
Dr. Agullo will provide personalized aftercare instructions, but overall, the Motiva Preservé™ technique is known to offer a smoother, faster healing process than other breast augmentation methods.
What Can I Expect From My Motiva Preservé™ Results?
Results from your Motiva Preservé™ breast augmentation are designed to be both beautiful and long-lasting. You can expect:
- Soft, symmetrical, natural-feeling breasts that move and settle like real tissue
- Balanced proportions that enhance your overall figure
- Discreet incision lines that fade nicely over time
