Preservé™ by Motiva®

Preservé™ by Motiva® is a modern, tissue-preserving approach to breast augmentation. This technique is designed to preserve natural anatomy, reduce downtime, and deliver innately beautiful results.

Innovation Backed by Expertise, Delivered with Intention

At Clark Institute for Aesthetics, we introduce new techniques only when they elevate both safety and outcomes; Preservé™ by Motiva® reflects that commitment. Dr. Ellen Ezell, a board-certified plastic surgeon, is among a limited number of surgeons in Florida trained in this technique, joining approximately 130 certified providers nationwide. With advanced surgical training and a deeply patient-centered approach, she brings this innovation to life with precision, artistry, and care.

What is Preservé™ by Motiva®?

Preservé™ by Motiva® enhances volume while maintaining the integrity of your natural breast structures. Unlike traditional methods that may involve muscle manipulation or extensive tissue disruption, Preservé™ focuses on:

Preserving ligaments, glands, and structural anatomy
Avoiding disruption of the chest muscle

Creating space for the implant through gentle tissue expansion rather than cutting
Using smaller, precise incisions

This philosophy aligns with research emphasizing breast tissue preservation (BTP)a concept focused on maintaining structural and functional integrity while achieving aesthetic enhancement.

Clinical research on tissue-preserving breast augmentation techniques also demonstrates that minimizing disruption to ligaments and breast structures may improve stability, reduce complications, and enhance long-term outcomes, according to a clinical study published in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal.

Preservé™ Benefits

Less downtime (often around two weeks)
Less discomfort compared to traditional augmentation
Faster return to daily activity
Preservation of natural breast structures
More natural look and movement
Smaller, more refined incisions
No disruption of the chest muscle
IV sedation instead of general anesthesia
Lower risk of nipple sensation changes
Reduced potential impact on breastfeeding

Breast Augmentation with Preservé™ by Motiva® FAQ's

What role do the Motiva® technologies play in the Preservé™ technique?

Preservé™ is supported by a system of specialized tools and implant technologies. Devices like the Motiva® Channel Separator, Inflatable Balloon, and Insertion Sleeve allow surgeons to work more precisely, minimize trauma, and maintain the integrity of surrounding tissue.

How does the inflatable balloon technique improve outcomes?

The Motiva® Inflatable Balloon creates the implant pocket by gently expanding the tissue in a controlled, radial way rather than cutting through it. This helps preserve ligaments and internal support structures, which may contribute to improved implant stability and a more natural feel over time.

What makes SmoothSilk® implants different from traditional implant surfaces?

SmoothSilk® is an advanced surface designed to work more harmoniously with the body. Research suggests it may reduce inflammatory and fibrotic responses, which are often associated with complications such as capsular contracture or long-term irritation.

How does the implant maintain a natural look in different positions?

The ProgressiveGel® Ultima inside Motiva® implants is engineered to adapt to movement and gravity, meaning the implant can appear fuller when lying down and naturally contoured when standing, mimicking the behavior of natural breast tissue rather than remaining fixed in shape.

What is TrueMonobloc+® and why does it matter?

TrueMonobloc+® is a proprietary design that integrates the implant shell and gel into a cohesive structure. This allows the implant to be more flexible and compressible, supporting smaller incisions and helping it move more naturally within the body.

How does Preservé™ support long-term implant stability?

Rather than creating a large surgical pocket, Preservé™ encourages the body’s natural tissues to gently conform around the implant. This 'nesting' effect can enhance positioning and stability, reducing the likelihood of shifting over time.

What safety features are built into Motiva® implants?

Motiva® implants include multiple layers of safety innovation, including BluSeal+®, a visible barrier layer that allows surgeons to confirm implant integrity before placement, advanced shell and gel technologies designed for durability and performance, and surface engineering aimed at minimizing the inflammatory response. These features work together to support both short-term safety and long-term outcomes.

What is RFID-enabled implant technology, and how is it used?

Motiva® implants may include a battery-free RFID microtransponder that stores implant information. After surgery, a provider can access details like implant type and size using a handheld scanner without additional procedures or reliance on physical records.

Does Preservé™ require a different level of surgical training?

Yes. Preservé™ is a specialized technique that requires dedicated training and certification. Because it uses unique tools and a different surgical approach, only a limited number of surgeons are currently trained to perform it.

What cup size can I achieve with Preservé™ by Motiva®?

Preservé™ focuses on creating natural-looking breast enhancements without dramatically altering size. Implant selection is tailored to existing tissue and skin elasticity. Most patients can expect a moderate increase in volume, enhancing shape and fullness while maintaining a natural look.

What are the risks or side effects of Preservé™ by Motiva®?

Short-term effects may include swelling, bruising, mild discomfort, and temporary changes in sensation, which typically resolve as healing progresses. Long-term risks—though reduced—can still include capsular contracture, implant malposition, or the need for future revision surgery.
