[Basic understanding] What is Motiva Preservé?

Preservé (Preservé) is a breast augmentation approach aimed at preserving breast tissue by combining the Motiva implant and dedicated surgical tools. It is easier to understand if you distinguish between the name of the implant and the name of the surgical method.

Composition with developer

The developer of the Motiva brand is Establishment Labs. The official Preservé system describes the SmoothSilk Ergonomix2 implant, a tool to create a channel, a balloon to expand tissue space, and an insertion sleeve. Just choosing a product does not make every surgery Preservé.

Goals of Surgery

The key is to reduce damage to the original support structure while maintaining the necessary space. This is not a method of enlarging the breasts without incisions or without making any changes to the tissue. This is a surgery that requires skin incision and implant insertion.

Let’s start with what?

During the consultation, please explain the desired change and current breast condition before the product name. It is good to organize your surgical goals by being specific about whether naturalness means a gentle slope of the upper breast or volume when wearing clothes.

Questions to ask during consultation

What is the exact model name and insertion location of the implant to use, and why would I choose this approach for my body type?

Checklist identifying product name and surgical plan

implant Don't judge a surgery just by its name

Divide your consultation memo into three sections: product model, how to create space, and where implant will be placed. This can help distinguish between statements that use the same brand and statements that use the same surgical approach.

Questions to leave after listening to the explanation

Ask “Why am I choosing this method for my condition?” and “What would be different if I chose a different method?” Manufacturer's product information is information for understanding instruments and products and should be distinguished from information predicting individual surgical results.
