Preservé™ is a specialized breast augmentation system designed to place Motiva implants using a smaller incision. They focus on preserving natural breast anatomy while reducing trauma to surrounding tissues.

Unlike traditional approaches that may require larger incisions or more extensive dissection, Preservé™ prioritizes precision and controlled placement.

It’s particularly appealing for individuals seeking modest enhancement, improved symmetry, or restoration of volume with an emphasis on a natural look and feel.

Motiva breast implants represent a significant milestone in breast augmentation, bringing fifth-generation silicone technology to patients after years of successful use in over 80 countries worldwide. For patients seeking results that look, feel, and move like natural breast tissue, Motiva offers a suite of advanced features that set it apart from traditional implants.

Key Benefits of Motiva Breast Implants:

• Exceptionally Natural Look & Feel — Motiva implants are engineered to closely mimic the look and feel of natural breast tissue, with many patients describing their results as virtually indistinguishable from natural breasts.

• Adaptive Movement — The Ergonomix2® line incorporates unique viscoelastic gel properties, holding a round shape when lying down and forming a natural teardrop shape when standing.

• Ultra-Low Capsular Contracture Rate — In large studies internationally and in the U.S. prior to approval, Motiva implants showed an extremely low capsular contracture rate of about 1% at 3 years, one of the most common and frustrating complications with traditional implants.

• Advanced Safety with BluSeal® — The BluSeal® barrier layer serves as a visual indicator to confirm the implant's structural integrity, offering an added layer of quality assurance and peace of mind.

• Smart Tracking Technology — Each implant includes an optional tiny, biocompatible microchip that allows your surgeon to verify implant details with a quick external scan.

• Minimally Invasive Placement — Motiva implants can be placed through smaller incisions, resulting in less visible scarring, faster healing, and a smoother return to normal life.

• Above-Muscle Option for More Patients — Improvements in Motiva's implant technology now allow natural results above the muscle, even in thinner women and those seeking a proportional, natural result.

• FDA-Approved with Strong Clinical Data — Since FDA approval for breast augmentation in 2024, more than 60,000 Motiva implants have been sold in the United States, reflecting rapid adoption by both surgeons and patients.

Motiva’s Preservé™ may be an excellent option for individuals who desire enhancement without dramatic changes in size or structure. You may be a good candidate if:

• You want a natural-looking increase in volume

• You prefer a minimally invasive surgical approach

• You have adequate existing breast tissue

• You are in good overall health

• You have an active lifestyle, and returning to normal activity is important

• You prefer the idea of less anesthesia and a quicker recovery time

This technique is best suited for first-time augmentation candidates. During consultation, Dr. Waltzman evaluates anatomy, skin quality, goals, and lifestyle to determine whether Motiva’s Preservé™ aligns with your expectations.

As with other types of breast augmentation, the cost of Motiva implants can vary widely depending on several factors.

We recommend a consultation with Dr. Waltzman, which will allow him to assess your needs and determine whether Preservé™ breast implants are a good option for you. He will provide you with an accurate estimate based on your needs and goals.

Recovery after Preservé™ with Motiva implants is often smoother than with more invasive techniques, though individual experiences can vary. Most people can expect:

• Mild to moderate soreness in the early postoperative period

• Temporary swelling or tightness

• A shorter recovery time than standard breast implant placement methods

Patients typically return to normal activity in 2 days and return to the gym in 2 weeks, compared with 4-6 weeks for traditional breast augmentation.

Because the technique minimizes tissue disruption, many individuals experience less discomfort and a quicker return to daily routines. Dr. Waltzman provides detailed postoperative instructions and ongoing support to promote optimal healing and results.

While scars from breast augmentation vary depending on the technique, there is no scarless breast implant. Preservé™ technique places Motiva implants using a specialized technique that results in fewer, less noticeable scars.

Breast implants can last for many years, but are not permanent. Motiva implants have a lifespan comparable to similar types, which will vary depending on how your body reacts to the implants and other factors.

Dr. Waltzman recommends breast implant surveillance using ultrasound for your peace of mind and to identify any issues while they are easily corrected.
