About Motiva Breast Implants

Motiva implants represent the latest advancements in breast augmentation technology, with innovative materials and a design that prioritizes patient safety and stunning aesthetic outcomes. The core distinction of Motiva implants lies in their proprietary ProgressiveGel® formula, a highly cohesive yet elastic silicone gel that mimics the movement and feel of natural breast tissue. A BluSeal® safety barrier provides enhanced protection against leakage, while TrueMonobloc® innovations improve implant flexibility, allowing for smaller surgical incisions.

The Motiva line offers two primary shapes:

  • Round Implants: Round implants enhance upper pole fullness and projection, resulting in a more pronounced, youthful décolletage.
  • Ergonomix® Implants: Surgeons often refer to these as “true-to-life” implants. Using a softer, dynamic gel, the implant shape changes according to the patient’s position. When standing, gravity causes the implant to assume a natural teardrop shape, and when lying down, it rounds out, offering a most natural look and feel.

SmoothSilk® Technology

A critical safety and aesthetic feature of Motiva implants is their advanced shell surface. Unlike traditional textured implants, which have been linked to rare complications, Motiva’s SmoothSilk is a nano-textured surface. This micro-level texture minimizes friction and inflammation in the implant pocket. This innovation contributes to a lower rate of capsular contracture (hardening of the scar tissue around the implant) (1) and contributes to Motiva’s excellent safety profile.

Benefits

Choosing Motiva implants offers a range of benefits, including:

  • Exceptional Safety Profile: With extensive clinical data behind them, (2) Motiva implants hold one of the lowest complication rates on the market, with minimal occurrence of rupture and capsular contracture.
  • Natural Look and Feel: The ProgressiveGel and Ergonomix features create aesthetically pleasing, soft results that closely resemble natural breast tissue.
  • Variety and Customization: Dr. Gorin can select implants that harmonize with the patient’s natural silhouette, chest width, and desired outcome.
  • Minimally Invasive Insertion: The gel’s high elasticity allows Dr. Gorin to place the implants through smaller incisions, often resulting in less noticeable scarring and a potentially quicker recovery.
  • High Durability: The specialized shell construction and robust BluSeal barrier layer enhance the implant’s durability and longevity. This allows patients to maintain a natural look and feel for many years.

Candidates

Potential candidates for Motiva breast implants are women who are in good overall health and seek to:

  • Increase the size and fullness of their breasts.
  • Restore lost volume and shape due to pregnancy, weight loss, or aging.
  • Achieve greater symmetry between unevenly-sized breasts.
  • Correct or replace older-generation implants.
  • Create a natural, soft, and dynamic breast contour.

Candidates must have fully developed breasts and possess realistic expectations about their outcome. Dr. Gorin will determine your candidacy during your personal consultation.

Preparation

Dr. Gorin will provide you with detailed instructions to help you prepare for your procedure. In general, all patients should:

  • Stop smoking 4-6 weeks in advance (if applicable)
  • Abstain from alcohol
  • Suspend use of any blood-thinning medications or supplements
  • Schedule time off from work to recuperate
  • Fill all necessary prescriptions
  • Arrange transportation for procedure day and personal assistance for 24-48 hours post-surgery
  • Prepare a comfortable recovery space

Procedure

You will first receive either general anesthesia or IV sedation to keep you comfortable during the outpatient procedure. Dr. Gorin then creates precise and strategic incisions at predesignated locations on your breasts at the inframammary fold. From here, he gains access to the underlying tissues to create a pocket either below or above the chest muscle, or uses a dual approach, in which he carefully places the implant, adjusting for symmetry and desired elevation. He finishes by carefully closing your incisions for minimal scarring.

Recovery

It is normal to experience some swelling, soreness, and tightness in the chest area during recovery. Wearing a supportive compression garment and taking prescribed medication will help manage swelling and discomfort. Dr. Gorin recommends you take one to two weeks away from work and other activities to recuperate properly. During this time, you should elevate your head and shoulders above your heart while resting and avoid lifting anything heavier than five pounds. Avoid more strenuous activities until Dr. Gorin gives clearance, typically after 4-6 weeks. It is essential that you attend all follow-up appointments so Dr. Gorin can monitor your healing progress and answer any questions that may arise.

Results

The final results of Motiva breast augmentation are transformative, with an exceptional natural appearance and long-term stability.

Some results patients can expect include:

  • Natural Contours: Soft, proportionate, and aesthetically pleasing breast shape that complements overall physique.
  • Improved Self-Confidence: A significant enhancement in body image and self-esteem.
  • Long-Lasting Outcomes: Motiva implants are durable with excellent long-term retention of shape and integrity.

Corresponding Procedures

Dr. Gorin often performs Motiva breast augmentation as a standalone procedure, but he can also combine it with other surgeries to achieve a more comprehensive body transformation. Popular and effective combination options include:

Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

For patients with significant breast sagging due to age, weight loss, or childbirth, Dr. Gorin can perform a breast lift simultaneously with the augmentation to raise the nipple and areola, remove excess skin, and provide a firmer, more youthful breast contour.

Power-Assisted Liposuction

Combining Motiva breast augmentation with power-assisted liposuction to sculpt areas like the abdomen, flanks, or thighs can create a smoother, more harmonious silhouette.

Mommy Makeover

Popular with mothers, a mommy makeover is a customizable combination of procedures. Mommy makeovers typically include breast augmentation, breast lifts, liposuction, and tummy tucks.

How long do Motiva implants last?

Motiva implants are long-lasting because of their highly cohesive and strong materials. Most patients who undergo breast augmentation will eventually require a revision procedure, but with Motiva implants, this timeline usually exceeds the average 10-15 years.

Will I be able to breastfeed after getting Motiva implants?
