It’s Finally Here: Preserve Breast Augmentation
After months of anticipation, Preserve Breast Augmentation has officially arrived at Dr. John Burns’s Dallas practice.
This next-generation breast enhancement technique delivers natural results with minimal downtime, less discomfort, and reduced anesthesia — representing the most significant advancement in breast surgery in over a decade.
Recently, Dr. Burns returned from an intensive week in Costa Rica, where he trained directly with Dr. Manuel Chacón, the inventor of the Preserve method. As one of the first surgeons in the United States to offer this groundbreaking approach, Dr. Burns is bringing this innovation home to his Dallas patients.
What Is Preserve Breast Augmentation?

Preserve is a minimally invasive breast augmentation technique that emphasizes tissue preservation, natural movement, and faster recovery.
Unlike traditional approaches that cut through breast tissue or place implants beneath the muscle, Preserve uses a balloon-based blunt dissection technique to create a pocket above the muscle (subglandular).
The result:
• A smaller incision
• Less trauma to tissues
• Faster recovery
• A softer, more natural appearance
The Advantages of the Preserve Technique
Smaller Incision
A short, hidden incision allows for minimal scarring and beautiful outcomes.
Balloon Dissection
Using gentle balloon inflation instead of sharp dissection preserves blood flow and natural anatomy.
Natural Subglandular Placement
Implants move in harmony with your body — no more animation deformity or muscle distortion during movement.
Minimal Anesthesia
Performed under light sedation and local anesthesia, reducing both downtime and anesthetic risks.
Motiva Ergonomix® Implants
These next-generation implants replicate the movement, softness, and resilience of natural tissue while resisting capsular contracture.
Rapid Recovery
Most patients return to work in 24 hours and resume workouts within a week — faster than traditional breast augmentation.

Smaller Implants, Big Results
Because the implant is placed higher and centered above the muscle, smaller implants achieve greater projection and balance.
This is due to the “nesting effect,” where preserved breast tissue naturally envelopes the implant.
The result:
• Softer upper-pole fullness
• Natural cleavage
• Proportionate, three-dimensional results
The Preserve Process — Step by Step
1. Numbing and Preparation
The breast is numbed using a gentle tumescent solution above the muscle, minimizing bruising.
2. Balloon Dissection
A blunt-tipped device carefully separates tissue planes without cutting, creating a natural implant pocket.
3.Implant Placement
Through a no-touch funnel insertion, the Motiva Ergonomix® implant is placed precisely for symmetry and ideal contour.
Patients typically describe the experience as comfortable, with minimal downtime and beautifully natural results.
