A Motiva implant

Breast Augmentation is a deeply personal decision that goes beyond aesthetics. As your board-certified plastic surgeon in Austin, TX, I understand the importance of choosing the right breast implant to achieve your desired results. Both Motiva and Natrelle Inspira SoftTouch are excellent options, each with its own unique advantages. Let's delve into the details to help you make an informed decision.

While these are both incredible breast implant technologies, my job as a surgeon is to help you decide which will help you reach your desired aesthetic outcome.

Motiva: A Closer Look

Motiva implants are created in Costa Rica at Establishment Labs, a state-of-the-art engineering facility that adheres to the highest environmental laws and standards. This company was founded in 2004 and launched their devices worldwide in 2010. In 2024, Motiva Smoothsilk® Round and Smoothsilk® Ergonomix® Silicone Gel Breast Implants received FDA approval for aesthetic indication. Every device is vetted for safety, comfort, and quality, setting the bar for excellence in the implant device industry.

  1. Natural Feel and Movement: Motiva implants, with their ProgressiveGel Ultima, prioritize a natural, soft feel that mimics the movement of breast tissue. Their Ergonomix design adapts to your posture, offering a dynamic and natural look.
  2. Advanced Technology: Motiva boasts advanced technology with the SilkSurface, a smooth surface designed to reduce capsular contracture.
  3. True MonoBloc Technology: The gel and shell are chemically bonded to create a single structure with the same rheological characteristics. This makes the shell as soft and elastic as the gel and improves the implant's mechanical performance. 
  4. BluSeal gel bleed barrier is a light blue, biocompatible barrier layer on Motiva breast implants that enhances safety by providing visual confirmation of shell integrity, reducing the risk of gel leakage or rupture.
