Question 1

What types of Motiva breast implants are there?

Accepted Answer

Motiva offers a wide range of silicone breast implants with different bases, projections, volumes, and silicone gel types to suit your needs and preferences. These include:

Round: With Progressive Plus gel, for a rounder appearance and greater volume filling of the upper pole of the breast, without sacrificing a soft consistency.

Ergonomix: With Progressive Ultima gel, which provides a balance between consistency and a more natural and dynamic behavior, while maintaining a slightly greater filling of the upper pole.

Ergonomix2: With Progressive Ultima and Motiva SuperSilicones gel, which, despite being round, offers a more anatomical, even more natural behavior in terms of consistency and movement, with a more optimal adaptation to the body. Its softness and malleability allow for placement through minimal incisions of less than 3 cm. For patients seeking the most natural-looking results possible and with almost imperceptible scars.

In addition to the variety of silicone gels, Motiva implants are distinguished by their projection and base, allowing the surgeon to customize the result according to your wishes, always respecting your anatomy.

Question 2

Where are implants placed?

Accepted Answer

Implants can be placed under the mammary gland or under the pectoral muscle. The choice depends on the patient's anatomy, the quality of the existing skin and breast tissue, the type of implant chosen, and the surgeon's preferences.

Question 3

What is a hybrid breast augmentation?

Accepted Answer

It combines breast implants with fat transfer (the patient's own fat). This smooths the contours and transitions of the breast, enhances certain areas such as the neckline, and corrects or conceals asymmetries, achieving a more natural, harmonious, and personalized result.

About Preservè:
Motiva's Preservè technique, an innovative, cutting-edge, minimally invasive approach that redefines the experience of breast surgery.

Question 4

What is Motiva Preservè?

Accepted Answer

The Preservè technique is an implantation method that emphasizes the preservation of natural breast tissue, aiming to achieve optimal aesthetic results and minimize the impact on the patient's anatomy. This technique is based on a less invasive approach, allowing the breast to maintain its natural ligamentous structure when the implants are placed. This results in greater implant stability and, consequently, a longer-term result, as well as a minimal recovery period that allows the patient to return to their routine in just a few days. Furthermore, by respecting the breast ligaments and preserving the gland, it allows for greater and better recruitment of existing breast tissue, achieving a much more noticeable result, without the need for large-volume implants, which carry a greater risk of immediate and long-term complications.

Benefits of the Preservè Technique:

1. Trauma Reduction: This technique uses a surgical approach that minimizes soft tissue manipulation, resulting in less trauma, virtually no immediate pain and pain in the days following surgery, and a faster recovery.

2. Natural Results: By preserving and utilizing as much breast tissue as possible, the results are more natural and harmonious. Patients often notice that the implant adapts better to their body's changes over time.

3. Less Risk: The Preservè technique reduces the risk of complications associated with more invasive surgeries, such as bleeding, bruising, infections, implant displacement, and healing problems.

4. Anesthesia: Preservè is performed under local anesthesia and sedation, without the need for general anesthesia, which reduces the time spent in the clinic, allowing the patient to walk home and resume almost their normal routine a few hours after the procedure.

Question 5

What is a mastopexy?

Accepted Answer

It's a surgical procedure to lift and firm sagging breasts, improving their shape, position, and projection. It also allows us to correct other aspects, such as asymmetries and the size and shape of the areolas, for example.

Question 6

Can a mastopexy be combined with a breast augmentation?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is possible to combine both procedures to increase volume and lift the breasts at the same time.

Question 7

Am I a candidate for breast reduction? At what age can I have it performed?

Accepted Answer

If you experience physical discomfort such as back, neck, and shoulder pain, skin irritation under the breasts, difficulty performing physical activities, or self-esteem issues due to excessive breast size, you may be a good candidate.
Regarding age, it's ideal to wait until breast development has completed, generally after the age of 18. However, in specific cases of malformations or significant health problems, surgery could be performed earlier.

Question 8

Will I be able to breastfeed after breast surgery?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, yes! Modern surgical techniques focus on preserving the mammary glands and milk ducts, allowing milk production and flow to remain unimpaired.
However, it's critical that you discuss your desire to breastfeed with your surgeon during your consultation so they can evaluate your case and advise you on the best options.

Question 9

How has science advanced in breast reduction surgery?

Accepted Answer

Surgical techniques have evolved significantly, allowing for more aesthetic and harmonious results and shorter recovery times.
Additionally, new methods for pain management and postoperative recovery have been developed, making the experience more comfortable for the patient, as well as technologies and topical treatments for improved scar quality and aesthetics.

Question 10

What is gynecomastia?

Accepted Answer

It is the excessive growth of breast tissue in men.

Question 11

Am I a candidate for gynecomastia surgery? At what age can it be performed, and what is the recovery like?

Accepted Answer

If you are a man and have breast enlargement that causes you physical or emotional discomfort, you may be a candidate for gynecomastia surgery.

Generally, it's recommended to wait until puberty is complete, around age 18. However, in some cases, surgery may be performed earlier if the condition is severe and causes significant problems with self-esteem and quality of life.

Recovery is usually quick and with little discomfort. After surgery, a compression garment is worn to minimize swelling and promote healing, and small drains are often left in place for a few days to prevent fluid buildup (seroma).
You'll be able to resume your usual activities soon, but you should avoid strenuous exercise for a few weeks.

Scars depend on the patient's degree of gynecomastia and the type of breast tissue resection technique required. In most cases, they tend to be small and located in discreet areas, such as the areola. In more severe cases, an additional incision may be required in the crease under the breast.

Question 12

How much does breast surgery cost? (Augmentation, mastopexy, reduction, and gynecomastia)

Accepted Answer

The cost varies depending on the procedure, the complexity of the case, and the surgeon's fees (and those of other specialists who will assist in the operating room). It's also important to request a personalized quote during your initial consultation.
