What Is Motiva Preservé?

Motiva Preservé is a tissue-preserving breast augmentation system developed by Establishment Labs. It combines FDA-approved Motiva SmoothSilk implants, the first new breast implants to receive FDA premarket approval since 2013, with specialized surgical instruments, including the Motiva Channel Separator and Motiva Inflatable Balloon, both FDA-registered.

Rather than cutting through muscle or aggressively releasing breast tissue, Preservé works with your anatomy. The result is a smaller incision, less trauma to surrounding structures, and a recovery experience that is smoother and much faster than traditional breast augmentation.

Motiva's SmoothSilk Ergonomix implants are designed to adapt to your body's movement, rounding out when you lie down and taking a natural teardrop shape when you stand. Clinical data has shown a capsular contracture rate below 1% and 0% inferior malposition (implant displacement) at three years.

How long do Motiva implants last?

Are Motiva implants the same as traditional silicone implants?

Motiva implants feature a next-generation SmoothSilk surface and ProgressiveGel technology, setting them apart from conventional silicone implants. They are engineered to move more naturally with the body and carry a significantly lower rate of complications in clinical studies.

Can Motiva Preservé be combined with a breast lift?

Yes, Dr. Haydon can combine the Preservé technique with a breast lift for patients who want added volume along with improved breast position. Your candidacy for a combined procedure will be discussed during your consultation.

What is the Motiva Always Confident Warranty, and how do I register?

The Always Confident Warranty covers implant rupture for the lifetime of the device, and the Preservé program adds a 5-Year Extended Warranty at no additional cost. Patients register their implants directly through Motiva after surgery using the information provided at the time of their procedure.

Will I be able to breastfeed after Motiva Preservé?

Breastfeeding after breast augmentation depends on several individual factors, including incision placement and your anatomy prior to surgery. Dr. Haydon will discuss how your surgical plan may affect breastfeeding during your consultation.

How do I know if my Motiva implant has ruptured?

Motiva implants feature a BluSeal barrier layer designed to contain the gel even in the event of a shell compromise. The FDA recommends routine monitoring with ultrasound or MRI to assess implant integrity over time.

Do Motiva implants affect mammograms or other breast imaging?

Motiva implants are compatible with standard breast imaging. You should always inform your imaging technician that you have breast implants so they can use the appropriate views.

What happens if I decide I no longer want implants in the future?

Motiva's Women's Choice Program offers up to $1,500 in financial support if you later choose to reverse your augmentation after receiving Ergonomix implants through the Preservé program. Explantation is a separate surgical procedure that Dr. Haydon can discuss with you at any time.

How long do Motiva implants last?

No breast implant is considered a lifetime device, and the FDA recommends patients plan for the possibility of future surgery. That said, Motiva implants have demonstrated strong long-term stability in clinical studies, and many patients go many years without needing revision.
