What Makes Motiva® Implants Different from Traditional Options
Advanced Silicone Gel Technology and Shell Design
Motiva® implants use a progressive gel technology that responds to your body’s movement. The gel inside these implants moves naturally with your body, creating a more authentic appearance and feel. The shell itself features a unique surface texture designed to work with your body.
The manufacturing process creates a seamless, single-piece design. This approach reduces the risk of shell separation or rupture compared to implants made with multiple components.
Built-In Safety Identification System – An Option
Motiva® implants have an option to contain a Q Inside Safety Technology transponder. This microchip is a radio frequency identification device (RFID) that stores important information about your specific implants, including size, lot number, and manufacturing date. It is important to note that patient information is not stored. The Q Inside Safety technology chip allows healthcare providers to scan the chip to obtain implant information without any invasive procedures.
This technology proves particularly valuable if you need details about your implant or require medical care from a different plastic surgeon. The scanning process takes only seconds and provides complete information about your implants.
Range of Sizes and Projection Options
Motiva® breast implants come in numerous size combinations and projection levels. You can choose from round or Ergonomix® shapes depending on your aesthetic goals. The range of options allows for customization to match your body frame and desired outcome.
Reduced Capsular Contracture Risk
The SmoothSilk surface of Motiva® implants minimizes friction between the implant and surrounding tissue. This design feature may contribute to lower rates of capsular contracture, a condition where scar tissue tightens around the implant.
Why Women Choose Motiva® Breast Implants
Natural Movement and Feel
These implants adapt to different body positions. When you stand, the gel settles naturally. When you lie down, it shifts in a way that mimics natural breast tissue. This responsive behavior creates results that look authentic in various situations.
The weight distribution also feels balanced and comfortable. Many women report that their implants feel so natural and comfortable that they are hardly noticeable.
Lower Complication Rates Compared to Other Implants
Motiva® implants have undergone extensive testing in multiple countries. Initial clinical data shows favorable safety profiles when compared to other breast augmentation options for implants.
The BluSeal indicator layer is an indicator that provides the plastic surgeon an immediate visual confirmation of shell integrity. If the outer shell experiences any compromise, the blue layer becomes visible during surgery alerting your plastic surgeon to possible issues with the implant.
Flexibility in Achieving Desired Results
Your plastic surgeon can select from multiple profiles to match your specific anatomy. Some women prefer a subtle enhancement, while others want a more dramatic change. Motiva® implants accommodate both preferences with their extensive product line.
The customization extends to surgical approach as well. These implants work with various incision locations and placement techniques, allowing you to choose the best option to achieve your aesthetic goals.
How Motiva® Implant Safety Features Work
TrueMonobloc Manufacturing Process
The manufacturing technique creates each implant from a single piece of material. Traditional implants sometimes use patches or seams that can create weak points. The monobloc design eliminates these potential failure sites.
This construction method also ensures consistent shell thickness throughout the entire implant. Uniform thickness contributes to durability and longevity.
Q Inside Safety Technology for Identification – An Option
Q Inside Safety Technology is an embedded radio frequency identification device (RFID) microtransponder measuring approx 2.1mm by 2.1mm. It does not require any battery and remains functional for the lifetime of the implant. A handheld scanner is able to read the chip through your skin in less than a second.
The information stored includes your unique implant serial number. This number connects to a secure database that only authorized medical professionals can access.
SmoothSilk Surface That Reduces Friction
The surface texture sits between completely smooth and heavily textured options. This middle ground allows the implant to integrate with surrounding tissue while minimizing the inflammatory response that sometimes occurs with rougher surfaces.
The reduced friction also makes the surgical placement process smoother. Your plastic surgeon can position the implant more precisely during the procedure.
BluSeal Visual Indicator Layer
A blue-tinted layer sits between the outer shell and the gel fill. During surgery, if the shell integrity becomes compromised, the blue color provides immediate visual notification to the plastic surgeon.
This feature adds an extra layer of security to the already robust safety profile of Motiva® implants. It allows for early detection of any issues before they develop into more significant issues.
What to Expect During Your Motiva® Implant Procedure
Pre-Procedure Consultation and Planning
Your plastic surgeon will evaluate your chest anatomy, skin quality, and existing breast tissue. Measurements help determine which implant size and profile will achieve your desired appearance. Implant placement options, including above or below the chest muscle, will also be discussed.
During this consultation, you will review before-and-after photos of previous patients. These images help set realistic expectations about possible outcomes. Your plastic surgeon will also explain the benefits of Motiva® implants as they relate to your body’s individual anatomy.
Surgical Technique and Incision Location Options
Most plastic surgeons create the incision in one of three locations: under the breast, around the areola, or in the armpit. The choice depends on your anatomy and preferences. For instance, scarless breast implant techniques through the armpit have gained popularity for their hidden incision placement.
The procedure typically takes one to two hours. Your plastic surgeon creates a pocket for each implant and carefully positions the breast implants to achieve symmetry and natural-looking results. The incisions are closed with dissolvable sutures.
Recovery Timeline and Healing Process
Most women return to light activities within a few days. Discomfort during the first week is normal and manageable with over the counter medication. You will wear a surgical bra or compression garment to support healing.
Avoid lifting heavy objects or performing strenuous exercise for two to four weeks. Your breasts will continue to settle into their final position over several months. Swelling gradually decreases, and you will begin to see your final results.
Long-Term Maintenance and Follow-Up Care
Schedule regular check-ups with your plastic surgeon to monitor your implants. While Motiva® implants have demonstrated excellent durability, all breast implants may eventually require replacement. Your plastic surgeon will recommend appropriate imaging studies based on your individual circumstances.
