Preservé: The Future of Breast Augmentation with Less Recovery Time


Thinking about breast augmentation but worried about long recovery times, scarring, or unnatural results? You’re not alone. Many women hold off on getting implants because they don’t want to deal with invasive surgery, excessive downtime, or an artificial look. That said,10 out of 10 breast augmentation patients tell us they wished they hadn't waited so long to get breast implants! We understand you've got valid concerns, and we are thrilled to continually innovate our techniques to deliver gorgeous results in a way that preserves everything that matters most to you.

Enter Preservé, the latest innovation in breast augmentation that’s making waves for all the right reasons.

What is Preservé?

Preservé is a minimally invasive surgical technique to breast augmentation designed to enhance your curves while preserving your natural breast tissue. Unlike traditional methods that involve cutting into the chest muscle, Preservé keeps the implant placement above the muscle—either just beneath the breast tissue (subglandular) or under the thin layer of connective tissue (subfascial). The result? A more natural look and feel, with less discomfort and a quicker recovery than submuscular placement.

Why Should You Care?

For years, many breast implants were placed under the muscle to help hide its edges and prevent complications like capsular contracture. However, this approach can cause unnatural movement when you flex (known as animation deformity)—a major concern for women who are fit, athletic, or simply want a more natural result.

The preservation technique completely revolutionizes breast augmentation using Motiva Ergonomix implants, which have a unique gel-shell design that adapts to your natural breast movement. These implants also have a special microtextured shell that reduces the risk of inflammation and complications, making them a safer and more comfortable option.

Smaller Incisions, Faster Healing

One of the biggest advantages of Preservé is its focus on minimal scarring and a faster recovery. The procedure uses smaller incisions and a special balloon-like device to gently create space for the implant—almost like an “injection” instead of a traditional surgical placement at the inframammary folds of the breast tissue. This means less trauma, less swelling, and a quicker return to normal activities.

Is Preservé Available in the U.S.?

Right now, Preservé has launched in Brazil, but it’s not yet available in the U.S. However, Dr. John Burns is getting similar results by using small incisions, careful dissection techniques, and Motiva’s FDA-approved implants. Tools like the Keller Funnel (a device that allows implants to be placed through smaller incisions) and saline sizers (used to perfect the implant pocket before placement) can help recreate the benefits of Preservé.

Alternative Techniques to Achieve Similar Results in the U.S.

While Preservé may not yet be available in the U.S., Dr. John Burns can adopt similar techniques to achieve comparable outcomes:

1. Small Incision:   Employing precise surgical methods to minimize incision size.
2. Minimal Dissection: Using careful dissection techniques to reduce tissue disruption.
3. Enhanced Dissection with a Saline Implant Sizer: Utilizing a saline-filled sizer during surgery to optimize the implant pocket before placing the final implant.
4. Keller Funnel Placement: Using the Keller Funnel device to insert implants through smaller incisions, reducing contact and potential contamination.
5. Motiva Ergonomix Implants: These implants are unique due to their gel consistency, unique outer microtextured shell which reduces inflammation and capsular contracture, and gel-shell interface which reduces rippling and implant visibility. Ergonomix breast implants mimic a teardrop or anatomic design that most closely aligns with natural breast shape. Breast size is customized in alignment with a woman's goals. Dr. Burns offers Crisalix 3D software to assist his patients in visualizing their potential result so there's no guesswork when it comes to implant size and profile.

By integrating these methods with FDA-approved Motiva implants, Dr. John Burns is now offering patients breast augmentation options that emphasize tissue preservation, natural aesthetics, and expedited recovery.
