Motiva Preserve Breast Augmentation

A technique, not just an implant.

Preservé is Motiva’s approach to creating the implant pocket. Rather than dividing tissue to make room, it uses a set of purpose-made instruments — a channel separator and an inflatable balloon — to separate and stretch the existing tissue so it settles around the implant.

The implant sits above the chest muscle, so the muscle is not cut or lifted. The incision is smaller than a conventional augmentation — roughly 2.5 to 3 cm rather than about 4 cm — because the instruments are introduced through a narrower opening.

Surgeons must complete Motiva’s dedicated training to offer it. The implants used are Motiva’s Ergonomix™ SmoothSilk® devices, designed to provide a soft, natural look and feel and move with your body.

The approach is designed for women who want an elegant, soft, natural, and beautifully proportioned result — sometimes described as the “ballerina” or “yoga breast” aesthetic — enhancing your breasts while still looking and feeling completely like yourself. Its less-invasive approach may allow for less downtime and a more streamlined recovery in appropriately selected patients, which makes it appealing for busy moms, athletes, and professionals who can’t put life on hold.

Candidacy

Who it suits

Preservé is best suited to a first augmentation with a moderate implant size. Dr. Duggal will tell you plainly if a conventional approach would give you a better result.

Considering a first breast augmentation

Wanting to keep the breast tissue, ligaments, and chest muscle intact

Enough natural tissue to cover an implant placed above the muscle

In good general health, at a stable weight

A non-smoker, or willing to stop before surgery and through recovery

Planning your result

See your options before you decide.

Vectra 3D imaging lets you look at different implant choices on your own frame during the consultation, so the conversation is about your result rather than a number.
