Patients considering breast augmentation at Advanced Plastic Surgery Institute now have another option to discuss with Dr. Josh Olson: Motiva implants and the Preservé by Motiva technique.
For the right patient, this combination offers soft, natural-looking enhancement with a modern, tissue-preserving approach. As with any breast augmentation procedure, the best approach depends on your body, your anatomy, and the result you want to achieve.
What Are Motiva Implants?
Motiva implants are a next-gen breast implant option that earned FDA-approval in 2024. Like other silicone breast implants, they are used to enhance breast size and shape. However, they also include design features that influence how the implants feel and move, making them a popular option among patients.
What Makes Motiva Different From Traditional Implant Options?
Motiva stands out because it expands the implant conversation beyond size, profile, and filler type to include softness, movement, and how the result may look on your body. Traditional implant discussions often focus on basics like saline versus silicone and whether a patient wants more upper-pole fullness or a more anatomical slope.
Motiva still fits into that larger conversation, but it adds another layer of choice with options like Round® for more fullness and Ergonomix® for a softer look with more natural-looking movement.
Motiva implants also feature SmoothSilk®, a surface technology designed to support biocompatibility and help the tissue around the implant stay soft, TrueMonobloc® for a unified implant structure, and BluSeal® as a visible barrier-layer quality-control indicator.
What Is Preservé by Motiva?
Preservé by Motiva is not the implant itself but the breast augmentation technique used with Motiva technology. This approach is designed to be less invasive and more tissue-preserving than traditional breast augmentation methods.
The goal is to place the implant in a way that minimizes disruption to the breast tissue and surrounding structures while still creating a beautiful, balanced result.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Preservé by Motiva?
Preservé may be a good fit for select first-time breast augmentation patients, including some patients combining breast augmentation with a lift. In general, it may be best suited for women seeking a more modest enhancement (usually 1 to 2 cup sizes) rather than a dramatic size change.
Your candidacy depends on more than preference alone. Dr. Olson considers your frame, skin elasticity, amount of natural breast tissue, and overall aesthetic goals when determining whether Preservé, fat transfer, or another method best matches your body and priorities.
