different anatomical profiles and surgical plans.
They are designed to closely mimic the natural look, feel, and movement of real breast tissue.
Profiles & Sizes
Multiple profiles and volumes to tailor to measurements.
Design Choice
Available in the Ergonomix® design.
Surface Type
Features the SmoothSilk® / SilkSurface® implant shell.
Individualised Planning
Decisions based on anatomy, goals, and medical history.
OVERVIEW
Understanding Motiva Options
Motiva® Ergonomix™
Motiva® Ergonomix™ is designed to move naturally with the body, offering a soft and balanced contour.
- It features the SmoothSilk® / SilkSurface® shell with a BluSeal® layer that allows visual integrity checks.
- The cohesive silicone gel inside helps maintain shape while providing a soft, natural feel.
- It is commonly chosen for those who prefer a natural-looking enhancement that complements daily movement.
Motiva® JOY™ (Ergonomix²)
Motiva® JOY™ combines the Ergonomix² implant with updated gel technology for smoother movement and comfort.
- It includes a digital device identification feature that assists traceability and documentation.
- The implant is designed to adapt gently with body posture and is available through participating MOH-licensed clinics.
- This option may suit individuals seeking natural form with added safety and traceability features.
Motiva Preservé™ Technique
Motiva Preservé™ is a tissue-preserving surgical technique rather than an implant type.
- It focuses on carefully expanding natural tissue layers instead of cutting through muscle, to help maintain structural support.
- The method aims to reduce unnecessary tissue trauma and support stable implant positioning.
- Preservé™ is often used with Motiva Ergonomix™ or JOY™ implants, as determined by the surgeon’s assessment.

Implant | Program + Implant Package | Surgical Technique |
Concept |
Uses the SmoothSilk® surface with BluSeal® layer for visual confirmation of shell integrity. | Incorporates SmoothSilk® / SilkSurface® shell and BluSeal® layer designed for implant integrity and traceability. | Focuses on gentle surgical handling and tissue preservation to reduce trauma during placement. |
Design Focus |
Human-centric design replicating natural breast contour and motion. | Ergonomic gel structure formulated to adapt to posture and movement. | Aims to maintain natural anatomy by expanding tissue rather than cutting muscle. |
Material Softness |
Cohesive silicone gel for soft, stable shaping. | High-elastic silicone gel designed to provide natural softness. | Technique supports implant placement with minimal pressure on surrounding tissue. |
Feel & Motion |
Moves in sync with body posture and natural motion. | Allows smooth, natural-feeling motion in daily activity. | Supports natural chest movement by preserving tissue flexibility. |
Surgical Compatibility |
Typically used in standard breast augmentation procedures. | Compatible with Motiva Preservé™ or standard incision methods, subject to surgeon’s assessment. | Often combined with Motiva Ergonomix® or JOY™ implants; performed via small inframammary incision. |
Intended Use |
Suitable for those seeking an implant that adapts naturally to posture and body movement, offering a balanced and realistic contour. | Designed for individuals who prefer a natural look and feel, with integrated digital implant registration and follow-up support for long-term documentation. | Recommended for patients who value gentle tissue handling and recovery comfort, as the technique aims to support stable implant positioning and maintain natural anatomy. |
THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY
What is Preservé
Goal
Implants
Surgical Approach
Intended Outcome
A surgical method that uses dedicated instruments to gently stretch tissue
pathways rather than cutting muscle.
To minimise disruption to native breast tissue and support structural stability.
This technique is designed to help with recovery; actual recovery duration
varies by individual.
Often paired with Motiva JOY (Ergonomix2) implants, and may also be used
with other Motiva implant models where clinically appropriate.
Typically performed through a small incision positioned within the breast fold
(inframammary crease), subject to surgeon assessment.
A natural‑appearing result and stable implant position. Final appearance and
feel depend on anatomy, technique, and healing; outcomes vary between
individuals.

PROCEDURE
What is the Procedure
Consultation & Assessment
Medical history, examination, and discussion of goals, options, and risks.Measurements may be taken for planning.
A computer simulation of the surgery can be done for you to give you an idea of
the possible result after surgery
Procedure & Incision
The procedure is performed in a licensed medical facility by qualified
professionals.
An incision is made in the breast fold as planned during consultation.
This step involves careful creation of space within the breast tissue to
accommodate the implant, following the Breast Tissue Preservation approach.
Placement & Suturing
After the implant pocket is prepared, the selected implant is positioned precisely according to the surgical plan.
Once placement is completed, the incision is closed using appropriate surgical techniques, and sterile dressing is applied to protect the area.
Recovery & Follow-Up
After the procedure, patients are monitored and given post-operative guidance
for wound care and recovery.
Follow-up visits are scheduled to review healing progress and ensure the best
possible outcome.
Recovery experiences vary depending on individual healing and adherence to
post-care instructions.
SAFETY
Risks & Considerations
General Safety
While breast augmentation is commonly performed and generally considered safe when done by qualified surgeons, as
with any surgical procedure, complications may occur. Surgeons follow strict clinical protocols to minimise risks where
possible.
Capsular Contracture
Scar tissue around an implant may tighten, causing discomfort or shape change. Multiple factors are involved; careful technique aims to lower likelihood.
Implant Rupture
Rupture may occur from trauma or shell wear over time. Use of medical‑grade implants and proper handling may help reduce risk.
AFTERCARE
Recovery & Follow‑Up
Early Phase
- Temporary discomfort and swelling may occur.
- Support garments may be recommended.
- Care instructions and medications are provided.
Return to Activities
- Work and exercise should resume only according to medical advice.
- Follow‑up appointments monitor healing and provide
guidance.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Will my scar be visible?
Surgical incisions are strategically hidden under the breasts, in the armpit or around the areolar. These scars will only be
visible if someone has a very close look.
For fat grafting the scars are very small and usually unnoticeable.
Can Fat Grafting be combined with Breast Implants?
Yes, fat grafting can be used in addition to breast implants to give a more natural look.
How long will implants last? Will I need to change them?
Breast implants may need to be replaced or removed if you experience complications such as rupture of the implant or
hardening of the implant. If you do not experience these problems then it is not necessary to remove them. In general, the
lifespan is around 20 years.
Does breast augmentation cause breast cancer?
No, there is no evidence showing an increased incidence of breast cancer in patients who have had breast augmentation
Will I lose any sensation in my nipples or breasts?
While the risk is low, there is a small risk of permanent loss of nipple or breast sensation.
Will I be able to breastfeed after having implants?
Yes, breast augmentation will not affect your ability to breastfeed.
Will the implants make mammograms less accurate in detecting breast cancer?
Breast implants can block between 10-25% of the breast during mammography. There are special mammographic views
that are performed in women who have breast implants in order to optimise the view as well as not to disrupt your
implant.
