NEXT-GENERATION BREAST IMPLANTS: DESIGNED TO MOVE, RESPOND, & FEEL REMARKABLY LIKE NATURAL BREASTS.
Now available in the United States, Motiva® breast implants represent a cutting-edge, industry-first advancement in breast augmentation technology. Motiva® implants are considered the most innovative, medical-grade, soft silicone gel breast implants today because they provide a transformative and unprecedented natural look and feel, adaptive movement, and pioneering, clinically proven safety profile for breast augmentation patients.
The comprehensive combination of advanced medical-grade silicone, innovative movement-adaptive technologies, and industry-leading safety features makes Motiva® a preferred choice for those desiring a natural look and feel with high patient and surgeon confidence.
Motiva® offers two main types of breast implants: SmoothSilk® Round and SmoothSilk® Ergonomix®, each designed to provide unique benefits for breast augmentation and to cater to different aesthetic goals and body types. These options ensure that patients can choose an implant that best matches their desired outcome.
Both implant types feature Motiva’s advanced technologies, including the SmoothSilk® surface for reduced complications, BluSeal® for implant integrity verification, and TrueMonobloc® design for enhanced durability and flexibility and allowing insertion through smaller incisions, potentially resulting in minimal or less visible scarring post-surgery.
This breakthrough implant is designed to be inserted through a small incision and minimize scarring.
Motiva® implants feature medical-grade silicone designed to provide a natural look and feel through several innovations:
SmoothSilk® Surface:
Only Motiva® Implants® have the pioneering SmoothSilk® surface, an industry-first exclusive surface innovation unavailable in any other implant on the market. Engineered for enhanced biocompatibility, the SmoothSilk® surface significantly improves how the body responds to implants. Scientific studies comparing Motiva’s breakthrough technology to other leading implants conclusively demonstrated that SmoothSilk® produces significantly less inflammation and remarkably low bacterial attachment. This pioneering safety innovation helps the surrounding tissue maintain its natural softness, substantially reducing complication risks while creating more natural-feeling results.
ProgressiveGel® Formulations:
Motiva®’s ProgressiveGel® technology includes two distinct options: ProgressiveGel® PLUS, a highly cohesive gel that maintains its shape regardless of movement or body position, ideal for a consistently full appearance; and ProgressiveGel® ULTIMA®, which combines cohesivity with viscoelastic properties to adapt its shape based on body position and movement, mimicking natural breast tissue for a more authentic look and feel. Both gels cater to diverse preferences, whether seeking stability or natural adaptability.
Bluseal® Barrier:
Motiva® breast implants feature innovative BluSeal® technology, a unique safety indicator and patented blue-tinted barrier layer that allows surgeons to visually confirm the implant’s integrity and enhance quality assurance and patient safety. This visual indicator provides peace of mind to both surgeons and patients, ensuring that the implant’s protective barrier remains intact and minimizing the risk of silicone gel leakage.
Motiva® breast implants come in various shapes, sizes, and types, each designed to cater to different preferences and aesthetic goals. Selecting the right implant size and shape is crucial for achieving natural-looking results with Motiva® breast implants. Here are some factors to consider when choosing the right Motiva® breast implant for you:
By discussing these factors and your desired results with your surgeon, you can choose the Motiva® breast implant that aligns with your aesthetic goals and provides a long-lasting, and natural-looking and feeling result.
A new plastic surgery trend has gained prominence, focusing on creating a physique that embodies the graceful, athletic build of a ballet dancer. This “Ballet Body” trend represents a broader shift in beauty standards and a contemporary approach to plastic surgery that emphasizes lean, elongated, and athletic physiques inspired by classical ballet dancers. This aesthetic ideal focuses on subtle enhancements that create a streamlined silhouette, prioritizing proportion, muscle definition, and natural-looking results over dramatic transformations. Procedures typically involve strategic liposuction and body contouring, as well as more proportionate breast augmentation, for which Motiva® Breast Implants are well suited.
Motiva® implants are ideal for helping patients achieve the sleeker, sculpted, natural-looking silhouettes and more defined and natural contours of the Ballet Body or “ballerina breast” look with these unique features:

Expected Lifespan
Motiva® implants are engineered with advanced materials that can last over ten years, with some even exceeding this duration without issues. This longevity is due to the use of durable materials and advanced safety technologies that reduce complication rates. Patients can expect their Motiva® implant to remain reliable and aesthetically pleasing for many years. Replacement surgeries may be needed for various reasons such as natural aging revision purposes, rupture, and complications. Factors such as lifestyle, body changes, and surgical techniques can impact the longevity of silicone breast implants.
Warranty Programs
Motiva® offers a lifetime warranty for implant rupture, along with financial assistance for revision surgery in cases of severe capsular contracture. The ‘Always Confident Warranty’ is a key feature of Motiva® implants, providing assurance against implant rupture. Patients can also enroll in extended warranty programs, which must be registered within 90 days of the initial surgery for coverage. These extended warranties provide additional coverage for ruptures and capsular contracture, ensuring comprehensive protection for patients.

Finding the right qualified plastic surgeon is crucial for achieving your desired results with Motiva® breast implants. It’s essential to choose a plastic surgeon with proven expertise in breast implant surgery AND Motiva® implants, as their experience and skill directly impact the outcome. Additionally, Motiva® distributes their implants only through Board-Certified Surgeons. [Learn why only ABPS Board Certification matters in Plastic Surgery.]
In addition to board certification by the ABPS, your surgeon should have a strong track record and plenty of experience demonstrating their commitment to patient safety and optimal results. Ask potential surgeons about their experience specifically with Motiva® implants, research their credentials, and review Before and after photos and patient reviews. Ensure that the surgeon you choose has a AAAASF-credentialed or equivalent, safety-rated surgical facility.
Once you consult with your surgeon, you’ll want to have an open discussion about your desired outcome so your surgeon can help you determine the best implant and treatment for your needs, as well as ensure that your expectations align with what can be realistically achieved.
While the list is growing, only 3 Board-Certified plastic surgeons featured by Motiva® exist in the city of Seattle and only a dozen or so in the Seattle regional area.
The Motiva® breast implant surgery process is designed to be as smooth and efficient as possible. Typically, the procedure involves making a small incision in the breast, usually in the crease under the breast or areola. Through this incision, the surgeon inserts the implant and positions it either above or below the chest muscle, depending on the patient’s anatomy and desired outcome. The incision is then carefully closed, and a compression garment is worn for 6 weeks post-surgery.
One of the very unique advantages of Motiva® implants is the ability to have them placed in front of the chest muscle, which offers several benefits. This placement helps the implants move naturally with your body, giving you a more authentic look and feel. It’s especially good for women with less breast tissue because it prevents the implants from looking unnatural.
Placing implants in front of the muscle also means you might recover faster and feel less pain after surgery. It’s less invasive, leading to fewer potential complications, and can allow you to get back to your normal routine sooner. This method also allows for larger implants if you want them, makes future surgeries easier if needed, and doesn’t affect your ability to breastfeed.
Overall, it’s a great option for many women looking for a natural look and feel with their breast implants. However, it’s important to note that the best implant placement method depends on individual factors such as body type, existing breast tissue, and personal goals. Your board-certified plastic surgeon will help determine the most appropriate approach for you based on these factors.
The surgery itself is usually performed under general anesthesia or sedation and takes about 1-2 hours to complete. Post-surgery, patients may experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, but these side effects are generally temporary and can be managed with pain medication and rest.
After the surgery, you’ll need to rest and avoid strenuous activities for several days. Your surgeon will provide you with post-surgical instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. This will include wearing a supportive bra, taking prescribed medications, and attending follow-up appointments.
During follow-up appointments, your surgeon will monitor your progress and remove any sutures or bandages. These appointments are essential to ensure that your implants are healing correctly and to address any concerns you may have.
By following these steps, you can achieve the desired outcome with Motiva® breast implants and enjoy a more confident and natural-looking breast appearance. Proper preparation, surgery, and aftercare are crucial for a successful breast augmentation journey.
Motiva® implants are safer because they use advanced features like BluSeal® and SmoothSilk/NanoSurface, which help minimize complications. These tech innovations really set them apart. Additionally, Motiva® implants are designed to minimize the foreign body reaction, reducing complications such as chronic inflammation. Various research studies and data support the safety and effectiveness of Motiva® implants, with references highlighting clinical findings, demonstrating compliance with FDA standards, and substantiating claims about implant design and patient experiences.
Motiva® Round implants combine the SmoothSilk® Surface with ProgressiveGel® PLUS®, a highly cohesive and unique silicone gel formulation, which helps maintain a consistent round, full shape in all positions, standing or lying down. Designed to offer a balanced combination of firmness and softness, these are an excellent choice for patients seeking a natural-looking yet fuller upper breast appearance and more noticeable cleavage. This is an implant that maintains its full, round shape in all positions.
The Motiva® Ergonomix® implants differ from Motiva® Round implants in that the Ergonomix® is known for its adaptive shape, natural movement, soft texture, and dynamic behavior. Motiva® Ergonomix® implants combine the SmoothSilk® Surface with ProgressiveGel® ULTIMA® – and its unique viscoelastic properties – to closely mimic the look, feel, and behavior of real breast tissue. Unlike traditional implants, Motiva® Ergonomix® adapts to body movements and body posture, ensuring they always appear natural whether standing or lying down. Exceedingly unique in their ability to follow a woman’s body movement and adapt shape based on body position, Ergonomix® transforms from round (when lying down) to a gravity-guided, sloped, teardrop shape (when standing). With its unprecedented soft, natural feel and movement, Ergonomix® implants are a popular choice for those seeking a more organic enhancement that closely resembles the look, feel, and movement of natural breast tissue. This implant moves and looks like natural breast tissue in any position.
Yes, Motiva breast implants are FDA approved. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted premarket approval (PMA) for Motiva SmoothSilk Round and SmoothSilk Round Ergonomix silicone gel-filled breast implants in September 2024. This approval covers their use in primary and revision breast augmentation for women aged 22 and older. The Motiva ® Implant approval announced today is the first new breast implant PMA approved by the U.S. FDA since 2013.
