Preserve = Precision, Preservation, and Perfection.

The next generation of breast augmentation has arrived — exclusively with Dr. John Burns.

Preserve™ Breast Augmentation represents a groundbreaking advancement in cosmetic breast surgery: a minimally invasive, muscle-sparing technique designed to deliver natural fullness, smaller implants, and faster recovery — all without general anesthesia.

Offered exclusively by Dr. John L. Burns, Jr., MD, FACS, one of the first surgeons in the United States trained directly by Dr. Manuel Chacón, the inventor of Preserve™, this innovative procedure is redefining what’s possible in modern breast enhancement.

The Preserve Difference

Unlike traditional augmentation methods that require cutting through breast tissue or muscle, Preserve™ uses a balloon-based blunt dissection technique to create space for the implant without trauma or bleeding.

The result is:

• No cutting or cautery

• Minimal swelling or bruising

• A gentle, natural augmentation that preserves the breast’s internal support ligaments

This refined approach allows the breasts to look and feel naturally lifted, soft, and proportionate — not overfilled or artificial.

Designed for the Modern, Active Woman

Preserve™ is ideal for women who value an active lifestyle and want natural, perky results without extended downtime.

It’s especially suited for:

• Athletes and fitness enthusiasts

• Busy professionals and moms on-the-go

• Women seeking elegant, balanced enhancement

• Patients desiring gentle, minimal recovery

“Smaller Implants. Bigger Results.”

The Preserve  Step-by-Step Process

what is preserve dr John burns

1. Infiltration of Numbing Solution

A gentle tumescent anesthetic solution numbs the area and minimizes bleeding — allowing the entire procedure to be performed comfortably awake with light sedation.

2. Channel Dissector Creation

Dr. Burns creates a narrow path through the tissue using a specialized channel dissector — preserving natural structures, blood flow, and internal support.

3. Balloon Dissector Space Creation

A balloon gently expands the tissue planes to form the implant pocket — a completely blunt, atraumatic technique with no cutting or cautery.

4. Implant Placement via Keller Funnel

The implant — Motiva Ergonomix® Silk Surface — is inserted using a sterile, no-touch Keller Funnel™ for maximum precision and symmetry through a tiny 2.5 cm incision.

Advantages of the Preserve™ Technique

Natural, Harmonious Results

Implants are placed above the muscle in a subglandular pocket that moves naturally with the breast — eliminating animation deformity and achieving soft, natural cleavage.

Tissue
Preservation

No cutting. No cautery. The circummammary ligaments — the natural “suspension system” of the breast — remain intact, maintaining structure, lift, and long-term support.

Smaller Implants, More Shape

Because the implant is positioned higher and more centered, smaller implants deliver larger visual results, achieving refined cleavage and upper-pole fullness with less volume.

Motiva Ergonomix® Implants

Dr. Burns exclusively uses Motiva Ergonomix® Silk Surface Implants for unmatched softness and safety.

• SilkSurface™: Reduces inflammation, lowers capsular contracture risk

• Monobloc® Technology: Improves implant integrity

• Ergonomic Gel: Moves naturally with your body

No General Anesthesia

Preserve™ is performed under local anesthesia and mild sedation, eliminating risks associated with general anesthesia and allowing faster recovery.

Rapid
Recovery

Since the chest muscle is untouched, patients experience minimal pain, no tightness, and minimal swelling.

• Light activity: 1–2 days

• Exercise: 1 week

• Full activity: within 10 days
