For a lot of women, one of the biggest things they want out of their breast augmentation is results that look and feel as natural as possible.

What is Preservé Breast Augmentation Surgery?
Preservé by Motiva is a unique approach to breast augmentation surgery that utilizes a variety of specialized tools and techniques to preserve natural breast tissue. Preservé is designed to minimize trauma caused to the patient’s natural breast tissue to help maintain muscle integrity, nipple sensation, and natural ligament support in the breasts, which helps to minimize sagging over time. This advanced technique not only provides results that look and feel natural, but it also utilizes smaller incisions and offers a shorter recovery period compared to other traditional breast augmentation techniques.

Surgery Risks and Safety
There are a few risks associated with any form of breast augmentation surgery. Preservé by Motiva has been carefully designed to minimize those risks thanks to the use of advanced tools and techniques. Some of the associated risks include:
- Scarring
- Infection

- Bleeding
What are the Steps of Preservé Breast Augmentation Surgery?
- General Anesthesia or Sedation Anesthesia: This ensures that you experience no pain throughout the procedure and allows Dr. Lao to perform the surgery safely.
- Separating the breast tissue: An incision will be made beneath the breast, and a specialized tunneling tool will be used to create a channel in the tissue through which the implant can be inserted.
- Expanding the Breast tissue: A special inflatable balloon will be placed inside the breast through the channel. The balloon will slowly expand, gently creating a pocket for the breast implant to sit in.
- Inserting the breast implant: The breast implant will be inserted into the pocket using a special sleeve.
Surgical Techniques and Tools for Preservé Breast Augmentation Surgery
Preservé breast augmentation makes use of several specialized tools to make the process less invasive, minimize trauma to the breast tissue, and reduce the risk of infection.
Motiva® Channel Separator
A blunt-tipped needle-shaped tool that is inserted through the incision under the breasts (IMF incision). It gently separates the breast tissue as it is rotated through the breast.
Motiva® Inflatable Balloon
This is inserted into the newly created channel and is designed to inflate and expand the breast tissue carefully, without causing trauma to the natural breast tissue. This creates a pocket where the breast implant can be placed.
Motiva® Insertion Sleeve
This specially designed sleeve is inserted into the incision and allows the breast implant to pass through the channel into the pocket without needing to be touched. It also allows the implant to be inserted using a smaller incision.
SmoothSilk Ergonomix Breast Implants
These specially crafted implants are designed to be extra flexible so they can be easily inserted into the breasts. They feel very natural and mimic the shape of real breasts for maximum shape and projection.


Where Are the Incisions and Scars for Preservé Breast Augmentation?
The incisions are made in the inframammary fold, the natural crease beneath the breast. The incisions are smaller compared to other breast augmentation techniques and are incredibly well-hidden within the natural crease of the breasts, which means there is minimal visible scarring.
Preservé Breast Augmentation Recovery
The recovery period for Preservé breast augmentation is noticeably shorter and easier on the body compared to traditional breast augmentation. You will experience some swelling, mild discomfort, bruising, and sensitivity around the area during the first several days. Swelling will subside over the coming weeks.
