Breast Augmentation with Motiva Implants

Yes! Motiva implants are manufactured in Costa Rica but have completed the FDA approval process, making them available in the United States. This means they have undergone extensive clinical investigation.

Motiva implants generally last for 10-20 years, similar to other types of breast implants. The life expectancy can depend on a variety of individual factors, and your plastic surgeon can give you the best estimate of how long you can expect your implants to last.

Yes, Motiva implants are MRI safe, much like the vast majority of other types of breast implants. In fact, regular medical scans are recommended to check for weaknesses and ruptures in the implant shell.

Motiva implants feel exceedingly natural and are, in fact, one of the most natural options available. Not only do they feel like breast tissue, but they can give a natural appearance that is unparalleled.

Motiva SmoothSilk Round implants use a form-stable gel that is considered a gummy bear consistency. This makes it ideal for patients worried about ruptures or who want to maintain their breast appearance in any position.

The cost of Motiva breast implants varies depending on each patient's specific needs, body type, and aesthetic goals. Pricing is customized to the individual, taking into account factors such as implant type, size, and surgical complexity. The final total will depend on your specific surgical plan, and financing options are available through the practice.

Motiva Round implants create notable upper pole fullness, resulting in a perky and round appearance. Ergonomix implants are a more natural option; these silicone gel implants can change shape and flow with your body movements, maintaining a teardrop shape when standing and a rounder shape when lying down. The choice between the two ultimately comes down to your personal aesthetic goals, body type, and the recommendation of your surgeon during consultation.

Motiva Round and Motiva Ergonomix implants have received Premarket Approval (PMA) from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for augmentation indication and are commercially available in the US. This FDA approval followed extensive clinical study data, giving patients added confidence in the safety and effectiveness of the implants.

Motiva implants can often be inserted through smaller incisions, such as in the inframammary fold, reducing visible scarring. Because of their flexible, progressive gel design, Motiva implants are compatible with minimally invasive techniques that require smaller entry points than traditional implants.

Between weeks 2 and 6, implants begin to "drop and fluff," meaning they settle lower as the lower pole relaxes and the upper pole softens. Exercise is typically permitted beginning at 14 days after a follow-up visit confirms proper healing. Results mature from 8–12 weeks, with continued refinement up to 6 months.

Capsular contracture is a complication in which the scar tissue (capsule) that naturally forms around a breast implant hardens and tightens, causing discomfort and distortion of the breast shape. The nano-smooth surface of Motiva implants minimizes the immune response that contributes to capsular contracture, making them one of the safer options currently available.

Motiva breast implants feature BluSeal, a visual indicator that the external barrier layer of the implant is intact. Your plastic surgeon can screen for any weaknesses or existing ruptures in the implant shell before placing the implant, helping prevent the need for a future revision procedure. If a rupture does occur with the cohesive gel, the gel tends to stay in place, and the BluSeal barrier helps limit migration.

Motiva implants are indicated for breast augmentation, which includes both primary breast surgery to increase breast size as well as revision surgery to correct or improve the result of an original primary breast augmentation. Whether you're considering a primary breast augmentation, breast revision surgery, or breast reconstruction, Motiva breast implants are an optimal choice.
