Motiva Preserve Breast Augmentation in Gangnam, Seoul

What is Motiva Preserve?

Motiva Preserve is an approach that minimizes electrocautery and uses an inflatable balloon and a channel separator to gently dissect the prefascial plane, combined with FDA-approved Motiva implants. The goal is to reduce tissue trauma and help the implant settle naturally. Results and recovery vary by individual (Motiva — Preserve).

The prefascial, minimal-cautery technique

• Minimal incision (about 2.0–2.5 cm planned)
• Balloon dissection to gently create the prefascial space
• Channel shaping for precise implant positioning
• Placement of the Motiva implant

Minimizing thermal injury aims to reduce bleeding and tissue irritation, factors discussed in the capsular-contracture literature (Risk factors for capsular contracture after breast implant surgery: a systematic review — JPRAS (2018)). This is a direction to reduce burden, not a removal of risk.

FDA-approved Motiva implants

Motiva SmoothSilk Round and Round Ergonomix implants received U.S. FDA premarket approval for their approved indications (FDA PMA P230005). Implant type is one factor among many; surface and shape options differ in characteristics rather than ranking (FDA — Types of Breast Implants; ASPS — Implants).
