Breast implant surgery should not be performed in women with active infections anywhere in their body, existing carcinoma of the breast (without mastectomy), with advanced fibrocystic disease considered premalignant (without accompanying subcutaneous mastectomy), any disease clinically known to impact wound-healing ability, tissue characteristics clinically incompatible with mammoplasty, any condition – or treatment – determined by the surgeon to constitute an unjustifiable surgical risk, and in women who are currently pregnant or nursing.

Because breast implant surgery is more often performed using general anesthesia, it is associated with the same risks as other invasive surgical procedures. After breast implant surgery, patients might experience swelling, hardness, discomfort, itching, bruising, twinges and pain over the first few weeks. Potential adverse events that may occur with silicone gel-filled breast implant surgery include capsular contracture, rupture, changes in nipple and breast sensation, infection, hematoma/seroma, delayed wound healing, implant extrusion, necrosis, granuloma, breast tissue atrophy/chest wall deformity, lymphadenopathy, gel diffusion, gel fracture, breast implant associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) and others. Talk to your doctor about other complications.

The recovery process depends on the profile and other variables. During the first 48 hours, the patient might have an elevated body temperature, and the breasts may remain swollen and sensitive to physical contact for a month or longer. Both should fade away over time. The patient is likely to feel tired and sore for several days following the operation. They could experience a feeling of tightness in the breast area as the skin adjusts to the new breast size. They should avoid any strenuous activities for at least a couple of weeks but should be able to return to work within a few days. Breast massage may also be recommended as appropriate.

The patient should inform the examiners about the presence, type, and placement of implants and request a diagnostic mammography, rather than a screening mammography. Breast implants may complicate the interpretation of mammographic images by obscuring underlying breast tissue and/ or by compressing overlying tissue. Accredited mammography centers, technicians with experience in examining patients with breast implants, and the use of displacement techniques are needed to visualize breast tissue in the implanted breast adequately. The current recommendations for preoperative/screening mammograms are no different for women with breast implants than for those women without implants. Pre and post-surgical mammography may be performed to determine a baseline for routine future studies in augmentation patients.

Breast implant surgery may interfere with the ability to successfully breastfeed, either by reducing or eliminating milk production. Although most women with breast implants who attempt nursing have successfully breastfed their babies, it is not known if there are increased risks for a woman with breast implants or if the children of women with breast implants are more likely to have health problems. At this time, it is not known if it is possible for a small amount of silicone to pass from the breast implant silicone shell into breast milk during breastfeeding, or what the potential consequences might be. A periareolar surgical approach may further increase the chance of breastfeeding difficulties. However, the American Academy of Pediatrics has stated that there is no reason why a woman with implants should refrain from nursing.

Breast Implants are not lifetime devices. However, the life expectancy of a silicone breast implant cannot be precisely estimated, as there are many factors beyond the manufacturer´s control that can affect the longevity of a device. The time period varies from patient to patient. Some patients could need replacement surgery few years after the primary procedure while others can have their implants intact for 10 years or longer. Therefore, the life expectancy of the implant cannot be guaranteed. If the patient experiences pain or a change in appearance, they should contact their surgeon. For safety, as well as the most beautiful and healthy outcome, it is important that the patients returns to your plastic surgeon’s office for the follow-up evaluations. Yearly visits are recommended to verify the device integrity. During the 10-year follow-up visit, the surgeon should assess whether or not it is advisable to remove and replace the implants.

Motiva® implant surfaces try to mimic the cellular dimensions, enhancing the biocompatibility of the implants, resulting in less abrasion and a controlled inflammatory response after breast augmentation, even in patients with active lifestyles, features that can decrease complications after breast augmentation. Choosing one surface against the other would depend on the surgeon's preferences. The most used is SmoothSilk®/SilkSurface®, which has the smaller surface dimensions. Other surgeons prefer VelvetSurface® because it has a higher roughness. Both Motiva® Implants surfaces have low complication rates of less than 1%.

ERGONOMIX® contains our proprietary gel known as Ultima®, which allows the implant to follow a women’s natural shape, holding a round profile when lying down and a teardrop when standing. This provides a very natural appearance and feel, especially during movement.
ERGONOMIX2® (used with JOY program) is the newest implant to join the Motiva family: Ergonomix2® comes with improved mechanical properties designed for natural movement and refined results. Ergonomix2 follows a woman’s natural shape, holding a round profile when lying down and a teardrop when standing.

”Projection” or “profile” are terms used to describe how far forward a breast implant extends from your chest wall, which is a significant factor in how proportionate breasts can appear relative to the rest of the body.

• Mini – our lowest projection
• Demi –moderate-low
• Full –moderate-high
• Corsé – our highest projectionWe have attached a picture for your information and you can watch a short video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdPnvn61_gI.
Please consult an experienced surgeon to discuss the Motiva® type, volume and projection that will achieve your desired results.
