Breast augmentation remains one of the most popular cosmetic procedures worldwide. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), hundreds of thousands of women choose breast augmentation each year, with satisfaction rates exceeding 95%.

Beyond enhancing appearance, patients frequently report improvements in self-confidence and quality of life. Now, with innovations in surgical technique and implant technology, a new generation of breast augmentation has emerged: Preserve, a refined approach designed for natural results, quicker recovery, and fewer complications.

Motiva: The Next Generation of Breast Implants

At the core of Preserve is the Motiva implant, a groundbreaking device setting a new standard in breast surgery.

• SilkSurface™ Technology – A unique nano-textured surface designed to reduce friction and inflammation, delivering the lowest reported capsular contracture rates among implants.
• Ideal for Above-the-Muscle Placement – Motiva implants are especially well-suited for subglandular or subfascial placement, avoiding disruption of the chest wall.
• Motiva Ergonomix™ Design – With a teardrop shape that moves naturally with the body, these implants offer the softest, most lifelike look and feel available.

What Is Preservation Breast Augmentation?

Preserve is a breast augmentation technique where implants are placed above the muscle, avoiding disruption of chest wall anatomy. Unlike traditional sharp dissection, balloon-assisted dissection and advanced equipment allow for:

• Bloodless dissection

• Minimal trauma to tissue

• Preservation of breast architecture

• Nearly painless recovery

This approach emphasizes conservation over disruption, maintaining the natural integrity of breast tissue for a softer, more natural outcome.

Advantages of Preserve

Patients who choose Preserve experience a range of unique benefits:

✅ Preserves natural breast anatomy
✅ No animation deformity (implants don’t move when chest muscles flex)
✅ Quicker, less painful recovery
✅ Superior cleavage and medial fullness
✅ More augmentation with a smaller implant
✅ Almost immediate return to activity and exercise
✅ Can be performed with light anesthesia
✅ Smaller incision size
✅ Motiva Ergonomix™ implants ensure the most natural look and feel
✅ Excellent option for athletes who want to avoid muscle disruption

Disadvantages of Preserve

Like any procedure, there are limitations to consider:

❌ Conservative size increases compared to traditional under-the-muscle methods
❌ Currently limited to the inframammary incision (though the Motiva Mia Femtech™ platform offers a transaxillary option)

If you’re seeking a breast augmentation that prioritizes:

• Natural appearance and feel

• Faster, less painful recovery

• Smaller incisions and minimal scarring

• Anatomy-preserving, athlete-friendly results

…then Preserve breast augmentation may be the ideal choice.
