For some women, the motivation behind wanting a breast augmentation is not just about enhancing size. For many, it’s about balancing the proportions of their figure and enhancing the shape and size of their breasts while preserving a more natural beauty and appearance. In these cases, minimally invasive breast augmentation using Preservé by Motiva may be a better option over traditional breast augmentation surgery. At Chopra Cosmetic Surgery in the Washington, D.C. area, we offer both options and can help you understand the benefits of each so you can make the right choice for your breast augmentation.
What is Preservé by Motiva?
Preservé is an innovative breast augmentation procedure that focuses on preserving natural breast tissue through a low-impact and minimally invasive surgical technique. The goal is to enhance the shape and size of the patient’s natural breast using specialized SmoothSilk® Ergonomix2® implants that provide a much more natural look and feel than traditional silicone implants. Special surgical tools are used to insert the implant to help minimize scarring while also minimizing any disruption or trauma to the surrounding natural breast tissue.
How Does Preservé Work?
Preservé utilizes several key technologies that allow for amazing results while minimizing trauma or disruption to the breasts to preserve natural sensation and structure.
- Channel Separator: A specially designed tool that is inserted into the breasts to help separate breast tissue while causing minimal trauma. This tool creates a pocket that allows the implant to be inserted through a smaller incision.
- Inflatable Balloon: A specialized device that is inserted into the breast through the channel created by the separator. The balloon gently expands to push breast tissue apart. This creates a pocket for the implant to sit within the breast.
- Insertion Sleeve: The insertion sleeve enables the surgeon to place the implant into the breast through a small incision, resulting in minimal scarring. The sleeve also enables a no-touch technique for implant insertion, reducing the risk of infection and capsular contracture.
In addition to this, the SmoothSilk® Ergonomix2® implants used for Preservé are specifically designed to be incredibly soft. This allows for easy insertion without causing unnecessary damage to the surrounding tissue. The softness and uniformity of these special implants also ensure the breast feels soft and natural to the touch while ensuring they have a more natural shape and contour.
Preservé vs Traditional Breast Augmentation
The choice between traditional breast augmentation and Preservé can be difficult, as each approach offers its own benefits. Traditional breast augmentation has provided countless women with outstanding results for years and is a better choice for women who want more dramatic breast enlargement. Some of the benefits Preservé has over traditional breast augmentation include:
- Smaller incisions
- Less anesthesia
- Minimally invasive
- Reduced trauma to the natural breast tissue
- Shorter and less painful recovery
- More natural breast tissue preservation and appearance
- Softer feel and more natural movement
