Preserve Breast Augmentation:
Smaller Implants, Big Result
For years, breast augmentation has been about volume — bigger implants, bigger change. But in 2025, a new philosophy is taking shape: refinement over size.
Introducing Preserve Breast Augmentation, a revolutionary method that prioritizes anatomy, preservation, and proportion.
Developed by world-renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Manuel Chacón and now practiced by Dr. John Burns in Dallas, Preserve marks a turning point in how surgeons think about enhancing the breast — not by adding more, but by working smarter with what’s already there.
Redefining the Art of Breast Augmentation
Traditional breast augmentations rely on cutting through tissue or lifting the chest muscle to make room for an implant.
Preserve does neither.
Instead, it uses a gentle, balloon-based dissection to create a pocket above the muscle — without cutting or damaging breast tissue. This preserves the body’s natural architecture, especially the circummammary ligaments — the internal support system that keeps breasts perky and elevated.
The result? Breasts that move naturally, feel soft, and maintain their youthful lift for years to come.
“Preserve allows the breast to stay beautiful not just right after surgery, but long-term,” explains Dr. Burns. “It respects anatomy instead of disrupting it.”
Less Volume, More Beauty
In Preserve, the implant sits higher and more centered, nested into your own tissue.
That means it takes less implant volume to achieve the same enhancement — or better.
Because the preserved ligaments cradle the implant like a hammock, patients enjoy:
• Natural upper-pole fullness
• Defined cleavage
• Long-lasting projection
Smaller implants can actually look bigger, because they sit where the eye naturally perceives the most volume — giving the illusion of a larger breast without the drawbacks of heavy implants.

The Science Behind “Less Is More”
In most augmentations, the implant itself must create all the shape and projection. Over time, this can lead to tissue stretching, sagging, or early droop.
Preserve changes that. By using the body’s own internal support, it distributes the implant’s weight naturally.
This design allows for:
• Reduced pressure on surrounding tissues
• Less sagging over time
• Improved cleavage and contour definition
It’s a smarter balance between artistry and anatomy — an augmentation that looks as though it belongs to the patient, not one that announces itself.
