Implant Technology, Chosen Deliberately

Dr. Tommaso Addona is trained in the use of Motiva SmoothSilk Ergonomix2 implants, a next-generation implant technology designed to move and feel more like natural breast tissue. As a Preservé-trained surgeon, he pairs this implant system with a tissue-preserving surgical approach, offering patients a more considered alternative to standard implant options. Ask Dr. Addona whether Motiva implants are the right technology for your breast augmentation goals.

What Are Motiva Breast Implants?

Motiva breast implants are a modern implant system built around two key features, a SmoothSilk surface designed to interact gently with surrounding tissue, and an Ergonomix2 gel formulated to adapt naturally as a patient moves and changes position throughout the day.

Dr. Addona incorporates Motiva implants as part of the Preservé Breast Augmentation Method, a tissue-preserving approach that combines this implant technology with low-impact surgical technique and specialized instrumentation.

Rather than cutting through native breast tissue, this method gently elongates it, an approach intended to support smaller incisions, reduced tissue trauma, and stable implant positioning over time.

This combination of implant technology and technique reflects Dr. Addona's broader surgical philosophy, prioritizing precision and tissue preservation over a one-size-fits-all approach to augmentation.

Benefits of Preservé Breast Implants

Motiva implants offer several distinguishing features compared to standard implant options, including:

  • A SmoothSilk surface designed to work gently with surrounding tissue
  • Ergonomix2 gel that adapts to position and movement for a natural feel
  • Compatibility with the tissue-preserving Preservé surgical technique
  • Support for smaller incisions and reduced tissue trauma
  • A design intended to support long-term stability and positioning
  • A natural look and feel in a range of body positions, not only when standing

Are You a Candidate for Preservé Breast Implants?

Ideal candidates are healthy adults considering breast augmentation who are interested in a modern implant technology paired with a tissue-conscious surgical approach. Motiva implants are suitable for a wide range of augmentation goals, from patients seeking a subtle enhancement to those pursuing more significant volume change.

Because the Preservé technique works best with specific breast anatomy and tissue characteristics, Dr. Addona will evaluate your candidacy for this combined approach during your consultation, discussing implant size, profile, and placement based on your body and aesthetic goals.

What to Expect During Your Motiva Breast Augmentation

Every Motiva breast augmentation begins with a detailed consultation, during which Dr. Addona reviews your anatomy and goals to determine the appropriate implant size and profile from the Motiva line.

The Procedure

Motiva breast augmentation in NYC is typically performed under general anesthesia and usually takes one to two hours. Using the specialized instrumentation associated with the Preservé technique, Dr. Addona places the implant through a discreet incision, gently elongating rather than cutting through native tissue to help preserve breast sensation and support. This more conservative surgical approach is designed to work in tandem with the implant's adaptive gel technology, supporting a natural result both in motion and at rest.

After Surgery

Most patients return home the same day. Dr. Addona remains personally accessible throughout recovery, monitoring healing directly and communicating with patients himself.

I have had and still have the privilege of working with Dr. Addona. Dr. Addona has in so many ways restored the way I look at myself. Dr. Addona is not only competent in his area of expertise, but also confident, and THAT is exactly what you want when working with a plastic surgeon. Dr. Addona is a remarkable physician, and I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for amazing results in whatever it is a patient needs. Dr. Tommaso Addona. Is. Your. Guy!

Recovery & Results After Motiva Breast Augmentation

Recovery following Motiva breast augmentation in NYC, Greenwich, & Westchester County generally mirrors that of standard augmentation, with many patients reporting a smoother early recovery due to the tissue-preserving technique used.

The First Two Weeks

Swelling, tightness, and mild discomfort are common initially. Most patients feel comfortable resuming light activities within one to two weeks, with strenuous activity restricted for a longer period.

The Following Weeks

Implants continue to settle into their final position over the following several weeks, with the adaptive gel technology contributing to a progressively natural look and feel as swelling resolves.

Long-Term Results

Final results are typically apparent within a few months. With proper care, results tend to remain stable for many years, supported by the implant's designed emphasis on long-term positioning and tissue compatibility.

Motiva Breast Implants Frequently Asked Questions

How are Motiva implants different from traditional silicone implants?

Do Motiva implants feel different from other implants?

Many patients describe Motiva's adaptive gel as feeling closer to natural breast tissue across different positions, though individual experience can vary based on anatomy and placement.

Can Motiva implants be used with the Preservé technique specifically?

Yes. Dr. Addona pairs Motiva implants with the Preservé technique as part of a combined, tissue-preserving approach to augmentation for eligible patients.

Are Motiva implants safe?

Motiva implants are an FDA-regulated medical device, and as with any implant, Dr. Addona will review the relevant risks and considerations thoroughly during your consultation.

How long do Motiva implants typically last?

While designed for long-term stability, implants are not considered lifetime devices, and patients should anticipate the possibility of a future revision procedure at some point.
