Preservé™ by Motiva®

Preservé™ by Motiva® is a refined breast enhancement option designed for women seeking subtle, elegant volume with a shorter recovery and minimal disruption to breast tissue. This technique focuses on small-volume implants—up to 315cc—and is performed through a low-impact surgical approach that prioritizes comfort, precision, and fast return to daily life.

Shaping With Intention

AG Aesthetic Center specializes in procedures that respect a woman’s natural anatomy while boosting her confidence in a sophisticated and understated way. One such procedure is Preservé™, which embodies this philosophy. Unlike traditional breast augmentation, which typically requires general anesthesia, larger implants, more extensive dissection, and longer recovery times, Preservé™ utilizes a tissue-respecting, minimal-incision technique performed under local anesthesia with sedation.

Dr. Gabriel is a recognized leader in breast surgery, with extensive expertise in reconstructive techniques. His dedication to promoting safe and innovative methods ensures that women can achieve precise, comfortable, and naturally beautiful results with subtle enhancements rather than dramatic changes.

How Preservé™ by Motiva® Works

Preservé™ offers a thoughtfully scaled approach to breast enhancement, using petite implant volumes (up to 315cc) and careful surgical choreography to create refined shaping with minimal physiologic impact. Instead of relying on broad tissue dissection or deep structural manipulation, this method emphasizes precision and gentle handling at every stage of the operation.

Benefits of the Preservé™ Procedure (Beyond Implant Technology)

Careful attention is given to the anatomy during pocket development, helping maintain the breast's natural shape and support
The technique focuses on controlled movements, which help the tissue recover smoothly
Patients often find the day of the procedure to be organized, predictable, and easier than expected

Most women return to their daily routines comfortably, experiencing a recovery that feels lighter and more manageable than with larger implants
Post-surgery changes, like swelling or tightness, are usually milder and last a shorter time due to the gentler approach
After healing, the breast feels soft and responsive, as the implant works well with the surrounding tissue without stretching it

Are You a Good Candidate for Preservé™?

Preservé™ is for patients who:

Have stable breast imaging results and no ongoing issues that could make surgery unsafe
Have healthy skin and soft tissue that can shape well without needing extra support
Prioritize easy movement after surgery and want to return to their daily activities without the restrictions of larger implants
Have stable hormone levels and are not experiencing changes from recent childbirth or breastfeeding
Do not have uncontrolled health issues, such as endocrine, bleeding, or wound-healing problems, that could interfere with implant success
Do not use nicotine or are willing to stop well before surgery to ensure good blood flow to healing tissues

Women who desire large-volume enhancement or more dramatic upper-pole fullness are typically better suited to traditional augmentation, making Preservé™ a purposeful choice for those who value subtlety and refined contours.

What to Expect Before, During, and After

Consultation

Your consultation will include:

A detailed review of your medical history
Anatomical evaluation and, when appropriate, 3D imaging
Guidance on size selection within the small-volume Preservé™ range (≤315cc)
Explanation of incision placement and pocket technique
Review of anesthesia options (local + sedation)
Clear discussion of costs based on surgical complexity and implant choice

Preservé™ pricing varies depending on individualized planning and whether complementary shaping procedures are included.

Procedure

Local anesthesia with sedation is administered for comfort and a faster postoperative experience
A small inframammary incision is created to preserve breast aesthetics and minimize scarring
Dr. Gabriel performs precision pocket creation, keeping tissue dissection minimal and controlled
The selected small-volume implant is gently inserted using a sterile, no-touch technique
The incision is closed meticulously to support scar optimization and prevent tension
You are monitored briefly before returning home the same day

Recovery and Results

Day 1–3: Most patients experience mild tightness and minimal discomfort; many need only OTC medication.
Day 3–7: Returning to work and engaging in light daily activities is common.
Week 2: Normal activity, including more strenuous exercise, is usually permitted; swelling continues to diminish.
3–6 months: Final softening and settling occur; scars refine further. Because the implants are smaller and tissue disruption is minimal, Preservé™ patients typically recover significantly faster compared to those undergoing traditional augmentation.
