Motiva Breast Implants in Westchester County & NYC
Greenwald Plastic Surgery
Dr. Greenwald has always been a leader in breast augmentation surgery. We are extremely happy to be one of the early adopters of Motiva breast implants in New York and Connecticut. Motiva silicone breast implants were approved by the FDA on September 26, 2024. Motiva implants are the latest silicone breast implants to obtain FDA approval. While the FDA approval is recent, Motiva implants have been used in more than 85 countries since 2010. With more than 4 million implants placed, they are well studied, as evidenced by more than a hundred peer-reviewed articles in medical and scientific journals.
Key Features and Benefits of Motiva Silicone Breast Implants
An innovative SmoothSilk surface, TrueMonobloc design of the shell, patch and gel, the BlueSeal and a highly ProgressiveGel are some of the innovations that make Motiva silicone breast implants unique.
- The SmoothSilk surface is a 4-micron textured surface that has been shown to promote less inflammation, less bacterial attachment, and a very low rate of capsular contracture. There have been ZERO reported cases of device-related proliferative diseases. This implant surface was designed to have enhanced biocompatibility with your body.
- The TrueMonobloc design results in a very low implant rupture rate and allows for implant placement through smaller incisions.
- The BlueSeal confirms the integrity of the implant prior to insertion.
- ProgressiveGel has unique properties that create a natural feel and mobility to the breasts. This gel adapts to the natural movements of your body and is designed to behave like natural breast tissue.
What Types of Motiva Implants are Available?
Motiva implants are available in 2 main styles. The Motiva SmoothSilk Round implants and the Motiva SmoothSilk Ergonimix. The Motiva Round is filled to 100% with ProgressiveGel PLU, while the Motiva Ergonomix is filled to 100% with ProgressiveGel Ultima.
The Motiva Round implants are slightly firmer, maintain a fuller upper pole, and are best suited for patients who want a “done” look.
The Motiva Ergonomix implants are softer than the Motiva Round implants, allowing the gel to shift to more natural positions as your body shifts (gravitational shifting).
Both implant styles result in very little implant rippling. Both implant styles are available in a range of sizes and profiles to suit your unique needs and desired aesthetic outcome.
How Motiva Implants Feel
With Motiva, you get the latest-generation breast implant materials, so they’re unmatched when achieving a remarkably natural feel. They’re soft and smooth to the touch, designed to move like natural breast tissue. Many patients say they feel like their Motiva implants have always been part of their body. Dr. Greenwald uses them to create full, beautiful, and proportionate breasts that look and feel incredibly real.
Motiva vs. Other Implant Brands
Motiva implants stand out for their advanced design and comfort. Unlike older implants, Motiva uses a smoother shell and a more adaptive gel, which helps the implants settle beautifully over time.
Patients often notice less tightness during recovery and enjoy a more natural look, whether they want subtle enhancement or dramatic volume. Dr. Greenwald recommends Motiva to women who want soft, realistic results with modern safety and style in mind.
Are Motiva Implants a Good Option For Revision Surgery?
Yes, many women choose Motiva implants for their revision surgeries because they offer a soft, natural feel that seamlessly adapts to body movements.
Their advanced gel and smooth surface help minimize complications like capsular contracture. With a wide range of sizes and profiles, Motiva implants allow for precise customization, which is especially important when correcting issues from previous surgeries. Some models also include technology that allows for easy implant identification in the future.
Motiva Warranty and Replacement Coverage
Every Motiva implant is backed by the Always Confident Warranty. This comes with lifetime coverage for rupture and a 10-year replacement guarantee for certain cases of capsular contracture (grades III and IV).
In addition, you can choose the optional Motiva extended warranty, which expands coverage based on your personal coverage needs and goals.
Recovery After Motiva Breast Augmentation
At the core of Dr. Greenwald’s philosophy is empowerment through education. Understanding what to expect before and after surgery is one of the most effective ways to ensure a smooth and confident recovery experience.
Dr. Greenwald prioritizes safe, efficient, and comfortable recovery for every patient undergoing breast augmentation. He uses the latest evidence-based techniques to help patients achieve outstanding outcomes with minimal downtime. He calls his approach Quick Recovery Breast Augmentation because of the specialized techniques he uses to reduce postoperative discomfort and accelerate healing.
Patients under Dr. Greenwald’s care often resume normal (non-strenuous) activities within 24 hours of surgery and then return to the gym in around three weeks.
Pain is typically well controlled without the need for narcotics, though some patients may need them for a short period. Either response is completely normal. What’s most important is listening to your body and staying in close contact with our team if you have concerns.
In most cases, you won’t have any drains to deal with. Dr. Greenwald places dissolvable sutures whenever possible to simplify aftercare.
You’ll have post-op visits with Dr. Greenwald at around one week and three weeks. During these visits, he ensures your healing is on track and answers any questions or concerns. Most patients have a very smooth experience with Motiva implants!
Why Choose Dr. Greenwald for Motiva Breast Implants?
Dr. Greenwald has performed thousands of breast augmentation and breast enhancement procedures. Experience matters when choosing your plastic surgeon! He will offer you a choice of breast implants and help you decide which option is best for you.
We take every precaution to make sure this procedure is performed in the most risk-averse manner (fully accredited operating rooms, board-certified anesthesiologists, same dedicated nurses, Keller funnel use, “no touch technique” for all implant cases). With meticulous technique and careful preoperative planning, most patients have no bruising and do not require narcotic pain medications.
The “Ballerina Breast Augmentation” is trending in Dr. Greenwald’s practice and in plastic surgery worldwide. The “Ballerina Breast Augmentation” refers to the creation of modest-sized, natural-appearing breasts and is particularly well suited for patients seeking a modest increase in their breast size.
Though “Ballerina Breast Augmentation” is trending, Dr. Greenwald has always been a believer that there is a right size implant for all patients and this trend is really just a manifestation of slimmer, more athletic body types seeking breast implants.
In addition to a more subtle, natural-looking breast, other benefits of using smaller implants include a breast that is more likely to return to its original state should you decide years down the road to remove your implants for whatever reason.
