What Makes Motiva® Implants Different?

Motiva® breast implants are designed to move naturally with your body, helping create a softer, more natural look and feel.

These implants are often chosen by patients who prioritize a natural appearance—both at rest and in motion.

What Is the Preservé® Technique?

Preservé® is an advanced surgical approach that works in combination with Motiva® implants.

Unlike traditional breast augmentation, which often involves cutting through the pectoral muscle, this technique is designed to preserve the natural anatomy of the breast.

Using specialized instruments, the implant pocket is created by gently separating tissue rather than cutting muscle.

The Preservé® implant technique may offer:

Motiva® Breast Implants vs Traditional Breast Implants

Traditional breast augmentation techniques often involve more disruption to muscle and surrounding tissue.

Motiva® implants—especially when paired with the Preservé® technique—offer a more refined approach focused on:

  • Preserving natural anatomy
  • Supporting a softer, more natural feel
  • Reducing overall tissue trauma

During your consultation, Dr. Babbitt will guide you through the differences and help determine the best approach for your goals.

How Do Motiva® Implants Feel in Everyday Life?

One of the most important aspects of breast augmentation isn’t just how results look—it’s how they feel over time.

Motiva® implants are designed to move with your body, adapting naturally as you change positions throughout the day. This helps create a result that feels soft, balanced, and more like natural breast tissue.

What this means for you:

  • A softer, more natural feel
  • Implants that adapt to your body’s movement
  • A result that looks natural both at rest and in motion
  • Greater comfort with day-to-day activities

For many patients, this translates to a result that not only looks refined—but feels like a natural part of their body.

What Can I Expect from Recovery with Preservé® vs. Traditional Breast Augmentation?

One of the most common questions we hear is: “What will recovery feel like?”

With traditional breast augmentation, the procedure often involves cutting through the pectoral muscle. This can lead to increased soreness, tightness, and a longer recovery period as the muscle heals.

The Preservé® approach is designed differently. By creating the implant pocket without cutting through muscle, there is typically less disruption to the surrounding tissue.

What this may mean for you:

• A more comfortable early recovery experience
• Less tightness in the chest
• A quicker return to light daily activities*
• A more natural feel during the healing process

Every patient’s recovery is unique, but many patients find this approach allows for a smoother overall experience compared to more traditional techniques. During your consultation, Dr. Babbitt will walk you through what you can realistically expect based on your anatomy and goals.

*This may include gentle movement such as walking and basic day-to-day tasks. Your individual timeline will vary and will be guided by your surgeon.

What Can I Expect from My Results?

Every breast augmentation is tailored to the individual, but the goal is always the same: results that look natural, feel balanced, and complement your body.

With Motiva® implants—and when appropriate, the Preservé® approach—many patients notice a softer, more natural feel and a shape that settles beautifully over time.

What defines a successful Motiva® breast implant result:

  • A natural-looking contour that complements your proportions
  • A soft, balanced feel
  • Implants that move naturally with your body
  • Results that continue to refine as healing progresses

Clinical data has shown low reported complication rates with Motiva® implants in early follow-up periods, including:

• Capsular contracture rates reported around 0.5%
• Rupture rates reported around 0.6%
• Infection rates reported around 0.9%

High levels of satisfaction have also been reported, with approximately 97% patient satisfaction and 99% surgeon satisfaction in clinical data.

Data on file with Establishment Labs (Motiva®). Clinical outcomes vary.

Your individual results will depend on your anatomy, surgical plan, and healing process. During your consultation, Dr. Babbitt will walk you through what you can realistically expect based on your goals.
