Preserve your natural breast tissue


Preservé® is an advanced, less invasive* breast enhancement technique made possible by 
patented technologies and designed specifically to preserve your natural breast 
tissue, nipple sensation and chest muscles.1,2

*Compared to traditional breast augmentation.

Preservé® may be right for you if you are considering:
  • Benefit 1

    A breast augmentation for the first time (primary breast augmentation)

  • Benefit 2

    A breast augmentation, with a lift, for the first time (primary breast augmentation mastopexy)

The art of Preservé®

The Preservé® procedure is designed to be performed through a less invasive* technique 
with minimal anesthesia3, allowing you to have a fast post-procedure recovery.1,2

 

Step 1 Step 1
Step 1 • Your surgeon will take specific measurements of your breast that will allow them to perform a less invasive technique and maximize your native breast tissue.3*This approach allows your surgeon to preserve the inner structures of the breast and use an implant tailored to your unique anatomy, designed to achieve your desired breast volume.
Step 2 Step 2
Step 2 • After numbing the area, your surgeon will create a small incision in the inframammary fold and use the Motiva® Channel Separator to create a tunnel9 without cutting the tissue. This provides access to the space where your breast implant will live.
Step 3 Step 3
Step 3 • Next, your surgeon will insert the Motiva® Inflatable Balloon to gradually push your tissue structures aside, creating a precise pocket that matches the size of your breast implant.11,12
Step 4 Step 4
Step 4 • Finally, your implant will be inserted in the space that was created, preserving your natural breast tissue functionality, including nipple sensation and your chest muscles.1,2

What women are saying

“I would always look at myself and feel like my breasts didn’t quite match my body. They feel so natural, they look natural, and honestly, I don’t even remember how they looked before. And the recovery, for me, was the best part because I honestly never felt like I had surgery. You might hesitate at first out of fear, but once you’ve done it, you’re so happy, and you think, “Why didn’t I do this sooner? ”

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION 
The Motiva SmoothSilk® Round and SmoothSilk Ergonomix® Silicone Gel Breast Implants are indicated for breast augmentation for women of at least 22 years old. Breast augmentation includes primary breast surgery to increase the breast size, as well as revision surgery to correct or improve the result of an original primary breast augmentation surgery (i.e., revision-augmentation). Breast Implant surgery is contraindicated in women with active infection anywhere in their bodies, with existing cancer or pre-cancer of their breast who have not received sufficient treatment for those conditions, or who are currently pregnant or nursing. Adequate studies have not been performed to confirm the safety of breast implant surgery in women with these conditions or under these circumstances; therefore, if you have any of the conditions or circumstances listed above, breast augmentation surgery with implants should not be performed at this time. Failure to take into consideration these contraindications may increase the risks involved with breast implant surgery and have the potential to cause harm. Patients should be advised that key complications have historically been associated with silicone gel breast surgery and implantation of silicone gel breast implants including, but not limited to, capsular contracture, implant removal, reoperation, infection, and rupture. Further, breast implants are not lifetime devices and patients should visit their healthcare professional, as recommended.
