Breast preservation augmentation is an advanced technique that involves using specialized tools and a balloon to create a “nest” above the pectoral muscle.
The balloon gently pushes the soft tissues, nerves and blood vessels aside, making room for the implant while minimizing trauma to the surrounding areas. This results in less pain, better healing and a smoother experience. Preservation techniques can even be performed without general anesthesia.
At the Bengtson Center for Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery, breast preservation augmentation is performed using the Preservé™ system by Motiva®. We are one of the first practices in the country to offer this advanced, low-impact approach to breast augmentation, ideal for women who want to improve the shape of their breasts with soft, subtle and natural-looking results.
Motiva® implants are well-loved by both patients and providers for a few simple reasons: they deliver exceptional results while prioritizing your safety and well-being unlike any other implant on the market.
Every Motiva implant is made with advanced technology, including a SmoothSilk® surface for enhanced biocompatibility, a ProgressiveGel® filling that balances softness with structure, and a TrueMonobloc+® shell that resists tears or ruptures without sacrificing flexibility.
When these advanced implants are paired with the Preservé™ system, they elevate the concept of modern breast augmentation, providing subtle, natural results that harmonize with your anatomy and support long-term confidence.
Choosing breast preservation augmentation with the Preservé™ system offers several advantages, including:
Breast preservation augmentation is particularly well-suited for patients who want to preserve their natural breast tissue while modestly enhancing breast volume and shape. If you want more subtle results that highlight your natural shape and have some breast tissue to start with, this approach may be a great fit. First-time patients also find preservation techniques align well with their goals. During your consultation, our surgeons take the time to truly listen to your needs, concerns and goals to determine if breast preservation augmentation is the right choice for you.
At the Bengtson Center for Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery, our approach to breast surgery goes beyond simply placing an implant. Here, you’ll find advanced technology, compassionate care and a patient-centered approach at every turn, creating a highly personalized experience unlike any other that always prioritizes your comfort and safety.
Even before your procedure, our VECTRA 3D imaging system allows you to visualize your potential results, helping you make informed decisions about implant size and placement while understanding how preservation techniques will work with your anatomy. We’re also one of the few practices to offer in-house high-resolution ultrasound technology for future follow-ups, allowing us to track implant integrity over time at no additional charge.
From pre-surgical planning to long-term monitoring, every step of your journey is designed with you in mind. That includes the recovery process. While breast preservation augmentation is associated with less pain and downtime, Dr. Bengtson's exclusive Fast-Trak Recovery Program allows many patients to return to daily activities within 24 to 48 hours.
Recovery from breast preservation augmentation is designed to be as comfortable as your results are beautiful. Most patients are pleasantly surprised at how easy the process is compared to what they were expecting. With our Fast-Trak Recovery Program, pioneered by Dr. Bengtson, Dr. Alfonso and Dr. Horriat, you'll likely find yourself back to light activities within just a day or two.
Your new shape emerges gradually as any initial swelling subsides, typically within the first few weeks. Because preservation techniques maintain your natural tissue, your results will continue to settle beautifully over the following months. Many patients are thrilled to discover that their breasts not only look natural but feel remarkably authentic to the touch. The preserved tissue integration also means your results will age gracefully alongside your body.
As one of a handful of practices across the U.S. offering breast preservation augmentation with Preservé™, the Bengtson Center for Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery delivers results our patients love: soft, subtle, natural-looking volume with fewer complications and a faster recovery. Our VECTRA 3D imaging technology shows you exactly what to expect, while our Fast-Trak Recovery Program gets you back to gentle lifting and full range of arm motion faster than traditional methods.
