Why Breast Augmentation Is About More Than Just Size

Breast augmentation remains the most popular cosmetic surgery in the U.S., with over 300,000 procedures performed annually. As patients’ expectations evolve, so does implant technology—leading to safer, more advanced, and natural-looking breast implants. Among the most exciting recent breakthroughs are Motiva® implants, a next-generation implant system quickly becoming the preferred choice for both women and surgeons.

So, what exactly sets Motiva implants apart from traditional options? Let’s dive into the technology and innovation that make Motiva stand out.

SilkSurface™: A Micro-Textured Marvel

Motiva’s signature SilkSurface™ is a nano-textured coating engineered to reduce inflammation and enhance biocompatibility. Is it textured like traditional implants? Not quite.

While traditional textured implants have a surface roughness over 10 microns, Motiva’s SilkSurface measures just 4 microns. This ultra-smooth micro-texture keeps it in a unique category—avoiding the risks linked to conventional textured implants. Importantly, there have been no reported cases of Breast Implant-Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) with Motiva implants worldwide, a huge reassurance for patients and surgeons alike.

Reduced Inflammation and Capsular Contracture

The ultra-smooth SilkSurface isn’t just safer—it improves performance too. Its uniform nanotexture leads to:

-Less tissue trauma during insertion
-A reduced inflammatory response
-Significantly lower rates of capsular contracture (the hardening of scar tissue around the implant)

This makes Motiva an excellent choice for subfascial or subglandular placements, where the implant sits closer to skin and breast tissue and must integrate seamlessly.

Advanced Gel-Shell Interface

Advanced Gel-Shell Interface Motiva’s proprietary gel-shell interface prevents delamination, meaning the silicone gel stays bonded to the implant shell over time. This design helps the implant keep its shape, integrity, and durability.

The cohesive silicone gel feels soft and natural—mimicking real breast tissue—while maintaining shape and resisting rippling.

BlueSeal® Technology for Added Safety

Every Motiva implant includes BlueSeal®, a visual safety indicator confirming shell integrity and that the implant meets the highest quality standards. This barrier reduces silicone gel bleed and reassures that each implant has passed Motiva’s rigorous manufacturing and safety checks.
