Preservation Breast Augmentation: Natural Look, Less Scarring,
Faster Recovery


Breast augmentation has long been one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the United States, offering women the opportunity to enhance their confidence and body image. However, many women hesitate due to concerns about visible scarring, long recovery periods, and implants that look or feel unnatural. If you’ve been considering breast augmentation but want a solution that prioritizes a natural feel, minimal scarring, and a quicker return to normal life,

Preservation Breast Augmentation might be the answer.

A More Natural Look and Feel

One of the biggest concerns women have with traditional breast augmentation is that implants can sometimes look or feel artificial, especially when placed under the chest muscle. Submuscular placement can lead to what’s known as animation deformity—where implants shift or distort with muscle movement—making them appear less natural, especially for women with low body fat, breast volume, or active lifestyles.

Preservation Breast Augmentation offers a different approach. By placing implants above the muscle and beneath the breast tissue—either beneath the fascia (subfascial) or directly under the glandular tissue (subglandular)—this method maintains the natural movement of the breasts while avoiding the unnatural shifting that can occur with submuscular implants. The result? Softer, more natural-looking breasts that move with your body rather than against it.

Less Scarring With Smaller Incisions

Scarring is often one of the biggest deterrents for women considering breast augmentation. Traditional techniques can require larger incisions, leading to more noticeable scars. Preservation Breast Augmentation, on the other hand, emphasizes smaller incisions and refined surgical techniques to significantly reduce scarring.

By utilizing innovative tools like the Keller Funnel for implant insertion and saline implant sizer dissection to create precise implant pockets, plastic surgeons can minimize the need for excessive tissue handling. The result is not only less scarring but also a more comfortable healing process. For many women, this means feeling confident in low-cut tops, swimsuits, or even without clothing—without worrying about visible surgical marks.

For women with busy lives—whether balancing careers, families, or active lifestyles—the idea of a lengthy recovery can be daunting. Traditional breast augmentation, especially when implants are placed under the muscle, often involves a longer healing period due to increased tissue disruption and muscle manipulation.

With Preservation Breast Augmentation, recovery is significantly quicker. Because this technique avoids cutting into the chest muscle, post-surgical discomfort is minimized, and women can often return to daily activities much sooner. The approach focuses on minimizing tissue trauma, reducing swelling, and promoting healing for a smooth, rapid recovery process. Many women experience reduced post-operative pain and can resume normal activities in a fraction of the time compared to traditional augmentation methods.

A key component of Preservation Breast Augmentation is the use of Motiva microtextured implants, which are designed with advanced technology to provide the most natural look and feel possible. Unlike traditional smooth or highly textured implants, Motiva’s microtextured surface enhances biocompatibility, significantly reducing the risk of inflammation and capsular contracture (a complication where scar tissue forms around the implant, leading to firmness and discomfort).

Additionally, Motiva Ergonomix implants are designed to move and adapt naturally with the body’s movements, further enhancing comfort and aesthetics. These implants maintain their softness while adjusting to body positioning, giving a more realistic look whether sitting, standing, or lying down. The improved surface technology makes them an excellent choice for subfascial and subglandular placements, ensuring a natural appearance without the drawbacks of submuscular positioning.

If you lead an active lifestyle, whether you’re into weightlifting, yoga, or running, Preservation Breast Augmentation is an excellent option. Traditional submuscular implants can interfere with workouts, causing discomfort or distortion during muscle engagement. With implants placed above the muscle, you can continue to move freely without worrying about unnatural implant shifting or discomfort.
