Motiva Breast Implants are redefining what women can expect from breast augmentation surgery. Now available in Grand Rapids, MI, at The Bengtson Center for Aesthetics & Plastic Surgery, Motiva implants represent a breakthrough in breast implant technology. Popular throughout Asia, South America, and the European Union, Motiva implants have earned FDA approval in the U.S. and are backed by clinical studies highlighting their enhanced safety, durability, and natural appearance.
Modern breast augmentation procedures are evolving thanks to a deeper understanding of materials science, soft tissue dynamics, and patient outcomes. Motiva breast implants were developed to improve not just the way breast implants look and feel, but also how they behave over time within the body. Designed by Establishment Labs, Motiva breast implants are considered a global leader in next-generation implant development. Patients today are seeking not only a more natural look but also a surgical procedure with lower risks and higher satisfaction.
Motiva Breast Implants represent a significant leap forward in breast augmentation technology, designed to provide a more natural look and feel compared to traditional implants.
Unlike conventional silicone or saline implants, Motiva Implants are crafted from a highly innovative silicone gel that mimics the consistency of natural breast tissue, offering enhanced softness and flexibility. The unique SilkSurface™ technology minimizes friction and reduces the risk of capsular contracture, a common complication associated with breast implants.
The Motiva portfolio includes options for round implants and ergonomic shapes that adjust with your posture, making them some of the most natural-feeling implants available on the market today. Their flexible fill levels also allow surgeons to better tailor the implant to the patient’s individual needs, offering greater control over final shape and projection.
Choosing Motiva breast implants comes with a number of benefits that reflect years of research, biocompatibility testing, and clinical studies. Motiva implants have been shown in multiple international studies to demonstrate significantly lower rates of capsular contracture (Baker Grade III/IV) compared to legacy implants. Their SmoothSilk® shell is engineered to reduce inflammatory response while maintaining soft tissue integration—key factors in minimizing complications.
Natural Look and Feel
Motiva’s advanced gel technology ensures that the implants adapt to your body’s movement, maintaining a natural appearance in different positions.
Enhanced Safety
The SmoothSilk surface is designed to reduce friction and inflammation, leading to a lower risk of complications such as capsular contracture.
Improved Aesthetic Outcomes
The implants’ ability to mimic the characteristics of natural breast tissue results in a more lifelike appearance and feel.
Durability and Longevity
Designed to maintain their integrity over time, Motiva Implants offer long-lasting results with minimal risk of leakage or rupture.
Minimal Scarring
Motiva Implants can be placed through smaller incisions, minimizing visible scarring and leading to a quicker recovery.
The ideal candidate for Motiva breast implants is someone in good overall health, with fully developed breasts, and realistic expectations for their outcome. Patients seeking primary breast augmentation or implant revision due to dissatisfaction or complications from previous implants are often good candidates.
Additionally, Motiva may be particularly well suited for:
Motiva implants are not recommended for women who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have untreated infections or underlying autoimmune disorders. A full consultation with your surgeon is essential to determine the best fit for your goals and anatomy.
The Motiva breast augmentation procedure typically takes 1-2 hours and is performed under general anesthesia.
The implants can be placed through a variety of incision locations, including under the breast (inframammary), around the areola (periareolar), or through the armpit (transaxillary). Dr. Bengtson or Dr. Alfonso will recommend the best approach based on your anatomy and desired outcomes.
Thanks to Motiva’s flexibility and new innovative implant design, your board-certified plastic surgeon here at the Bengtson Center has more control over projection, and shaping and outcomes during and after surgery maximizing your result with fewer complications. Our New Vista Surgical Center provides a safe, private environment tailored to your needs.
Determining whether Motiva Breast Implants are the ideal choice for your breast augmentation journey involves considering various factors unique to your body and aesthetic aspirations.
SmoothSilk® Ergonomix™
The Motiva SmoothSilk Ergonomix implants are designed to adapt to the body’s natural movement, providing a more dynamic and natural appearance. Their proprietary “TrueTissue® Technology” allows the implants to maintain a natural teardrop shape when standing and a rounder appearance when lying down. This adaptability helps create a smooth, lifelike contour, making them an excellent option for patients seeking a subtle enhancement that mimics the natural feel of real breasts.
SmoothSilk® Round
Motiva SmoothSilk Round implants are ideal for those looking to achieve a fuller, rounder breast shape. These implants provide a more defined upper-pole fullness while still offering the benefits of Motiva’s SmoothSilk surface, which reduces the risk of complications like capsular contracture. With their uniform shape and softer edges, these implants deliver a more voluptuous appearance, perfect for patients who desire added volume and a more prominent profile.
Most patients return to light activity within one week, though strenuous movement and upper body exercise should be avoided for 4–6 weeks.
Swelling and soreness are normal during initial healing. Support garments are worn to help shape the new contour and protect incision sites.
