Is Preserve by Motiva Painful?

Preservé is generally less painful than other breast augmentation procedures because the chest wall muscles and natural breast tissues are preserved. You will not feel any pain during the procedure, as you will be under local anesthesia. While you recover from the surgery, you will likely feel some mild pain and discomfort, but the prescribed medication will help reduce these side effects.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

Patients will have an initial consultation, surgery, and follow-up appointments, all in our office in Atlanta, to monitor recovery and healing and ensure the implants are in the correct location, within the expected timeline. These follow-up appointments will be every 4-6 weeks, then every 3-6 months.

How Long Until I See Results?

Results will be obvious immediately after your surgery in Atlanta, as the implants will be inside your breast above the chest muscle. As the swelling subsides over 3-4 weeks, the results will begin to appear more natural. Throughout this time, the implants will be higher than they will appear, but this is intentional, as they will gradually “drop” and “fluff” over time. Final results will be complete around 3-6 months after surgery.

Can I Combine Preserve by Motiva with Other Procedures?

Absolutely! Patients frequently combine Preservé with procedures that help achieve a more comprehensive appearance, such as a Breast Lift , Liposuction , or a Tummy Tuck . You will be able to review the possibilities during your consultation with Dr. Arslanian.

What Are the Risks Associated with Preserve by Motiva?

Every procedure has at least some risks associated with the surgery and recovery process, including Preservé. Though Preservé has fewer risks than other breast augmentations, due to the minimally invasive technique, risks include bleeding, infection, swelling, bruising, capsular contracture, scarring, implant malposition, or changes in sensation.

What is Preserve by Motiva?

Preservé by Motiva is a minimally invasive surgical technique created to augment your breast curves while keeping your natural breast tissue intact. This surgery does not cut into the chest muscle, a technique performed under other types of breast enhancement, like a breast augmentation. Instead, Preservé by Motiva places the implant above your muscle just under the breast tissue or beneath the thin layer of connective tissue.

Preservé by Motiva yields less scarring and trauma, along with more natural-looking results during recovery, as smaller incisions and a balloon-like device are used to create a pocket for each implant.

What Are the Benefits of Preserve by Motiva?

Choosing Preservé by Motiva gives our patients in Atlanta several benefits, including:

Reduced trauma to natural breast structures, ligaments, and nerves
Quicker recovery time from smaller, more discreet surgical incisions, allowing patients to return to normal activities quicker and have less scarring.
Natural look and feel due to preserved tissue and implants that offer natural movement, texture, and support
Accurate placement and better symmetry
Lower complication risk due to the tissue preservation technique
Maintains nipple sensation
Avoids disrupting chest wall muscles

Who Are the Best Candidates For Preserve by Motiva?

The best candidates for Preservé by Motiva at our office in Atlanta have some or more of the following characteristics:

Seeking implants for the first time, as the procedure is most effective with natural tissues
Seeking subtle results proportionate to the body with natural softness and movement
Want to preserve breast tissue integrity, ligaments, and nipple sensation

What’s the first step?

The first step toward receiving Preservé by Motiva at Arslanian Plastic Surgery in Atlanta is contacting our office to schedule a private consultation with Dr. Arslanian. During your consultation, you will have an in-depth conversation about your aesthetic goals, medical history, and what the procedure entails for you. To help Dr. Arslanian better understand your goals, he will evaluate your unique breast anatomy and take precise measurements. If he determines you will be a good candidate, he will set you up with a treatment and payment plan.

What to Expect on the Day of Preserve by Motiva Surgery

On the day of your Preservé surgery in Atlanta, our accommodating team will welcome you into our office and have you check in. Dr. Arslanian will give you local numbing medicine and anesthesia, making sure you are comfortable and responsive, not fully asleep. Dr. Arslanian will make small incisions and use Preservé instruments to create the implant pocket, preserving your muscle and natural breast tissue, followed by the gentle insertion of Motiva implants. You’ll receive stitches to close the incisions.

After the surgery is complete, you’ll be given pain medication and instructions on how to recover safely. The procedure generally takes 45-60 minutes. Someone must pick you up because it is not safe for you to drive after receiving anesthesia.

Preserve by Motiva Recovery

Recovering from surgery is critical to ensuring your body heals smoothly. Thankfully, Preservé offers a quicker recovery than other breast augmentation techniques. You’ll have some swelling and soreness rather than intense pain for a few days, then it will begin to subside with the help of the pain medication prescribed by Dr. Arslanian in Atlanta. You’ll be able to go back to work and resume light activities within only a few days, but you shouldn’t be lifting heavy objects for at least a couple of weeks.

We recommend taking light walks to keep blood circulating. Wear the support bra to ensure stability of the implants and reduce swelling and bruising. Many patients can resume their regular exercise routines after 2-3 weeks. You’ll attend follow-up appointments to ensure recovery is going according to plan.
