What Is Preservé Breast Augmentation?
Traditionally, breast augmentation involves either intravenous sedation or general anesthesia for comfort, incisions, and insertion of breast implants under the chest wall muscles. Recovery time for most patients includes a period of light activity for 1-2 weeks, followed by full recovery within 4-8 weeks.
Preservé is an innovative technique that introduces a gentler approach to breast augmentation and reduces surgical complexity compared to traditional techniques.
It requires only local anesthesia, no full sedation, and smaller incisions.
With less breast tissue trauma, preservation of natural breast tissue, and a special “nesting technique” to place the implant above the chest muscle rather than underneath it, patients can expect a smoother recovery, less discomfort, and results that look natural.
Benefits of the Preservé Nesting Technique
The advancements offered by Preservé breast augmentation are due to the innovative way the procedure is performed. After local anesthesia is performed, small incisions are created, and an inflatable balloon-like device is used to create a pocket for the breast implant.
This “nesting technique,” unlike standard breast augmentation approaches, allows for placement of the breast implant just under the breast tissue or connective tissue with minimal disruption of the breast’s natural support system. This ultimately results in less swelling and discomfort after the procedure.
Additionally, Preservé uses Motiva implants, which are special silicone implants placed in the breast pocket. These implants create a natural look and are designed to reduce the risk of device complications.
With this minimally invasive approach, benefits include:
- Reduced risk of infection
- Smaller scars
- Preservation of natural breast tissue and sensation
A study of this innovative procedure showed a very low rate of complications compared to traditional breast augmentation, and an 87% patient satisfaction rate after three years.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Preservé?
Women aged 22 and older who are seeking natural-looking, minimally invasive breast augmentation should consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon to determine whether preservation breast augmentation with Preservé surgery is right for them.
This procedure can be performed as primary breast augmentation, in combination with a breast lift (mastopexy), or as a hybrid breast augmentation, all of which serve to improve breast aesthetics.
Preservé with Motiva implants is not recommended for women who are pregnant, breastfeeding, have an active infection, or who need treatment for breast cancer.
What to Expect: Before, During, and After Preservé
Prior to the procedure, your surgeon will collaborate with you to create a personalized plan in preparation for Preservé augmentation. They’ll review your medical history and discuss your goals. You’ll receive visual examples of the expected results of the procedure and Motiva implants, and instructions on any medications you should avoid before your scheduled procedure.
During Preservé by Motiva, you will be awake and comfortable in a relaxing environment, and your team will walk you through everything they’re doing.
After the procedure, you can expect minimal downtime. Pain medication is not needed for most patients. Your surgeon will provide instructions on aftercare and signs and symptoms of any concerns to watch for.
Although recovery time can vary from person to person, the typical timeline is light activity for 3-5 days, a return to moderate activity within 1-2 weeks, and full recovery within 3-4 weeks. Most patients report minimal discomfort and a quick return to natural movement since the chest muscles are not involved in the surgery.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, the use of local anesthesia only and the minimally invasive nature of this procedure enhance safety, reducing the risk of complications and infection.
The Preservé approach offers long-lasting results, with one study showing a 1% reoperation rate at 3 years and a 0% rate of inferior malposition in the same time frame.
This procedure has a very low rate of complications, with problems less likely than in conventional breast augmentation. Possible complications of breast augmentation include nipple or breast sensitivity loss (preserved with this technique), problems with the incision(s), infection, hematoma (bruising), rippling of the implant, implant rupture, capsular contracture (scar tissue causing abnormal breast tissue shape), or BIA-ALCL (a breast-implant associated cancer, which has not been seen with Motiva implants).
Preservé with Motiva implants ensures optimal healing and offers faster recovery, smaller scars, preservation of native breast tissue, and fewer complications in comparison to traditional breast augmentation and other more invasive breast enhancement options.
