The Preservé technique

An approach that combines comfort and precision

Minimally invasive breast augmentation is characterised by a modern approach that combines comfort and precision. Thanks to Motiva’s new generation of Preservé implants, it is now possible to obtain a harmonious result with a simpler, less painful operation and a much faster recovery, even allowing discharge from hospital the same day.

Minimally invasive surgery for a fast recovery

Minimally invasive breast augmentation allows the implant to be placed through a micro-incision of only two centimetres, most often made in the fold of the breast for a very discreet scar.

The pocket for the implant is created with an inflatable balloon, which preserves the surrounding tissues and explains the name of the Preservé technique.

The implant is introduced using an insertion sleeve called a Keller funnel, a sterile device that eases the passage of the implant while preserving the tissues. This technique reduces post-operative pain and considerably lowers the risks of inflammation or bleeding.

The operation can be performed under local anaesthesia with sedation, which avoids the side effects of a general anaesthetic and allows a more comfortable recovery from anaesthesia. Recovery is fast: most patients return to their everyday activities within a few days.

Local or general anaesthesia

Standard breast augmentation is performed under general anaesthesia. The Preservé technique can be performed under local anaesthesia, with or without sedation.

Local anaesthesia avoids the side effects of general anaesthesia, and avoids waking up from it, which can be uncomfortable. Discharge is on the same day. Most patients resume their daily activities within three to five days.

The type of anaesthesia is agreed between the doctor and the patient: pure local anaesthesia, or local anaesthesia assisted by sedation given by the anaesthetist. The appointment with the anaesthetist, if needed, is mandatory.

What makes the procedure lighter

The incision is two centimetres long. The space that receives the implant is created with an inflatable balloon, under the gland, without detaching the tissues. The implant is introduced using a sterile insertion sleeve called a Keller funnel. This reduces post-operative pain and lowers the risk of inflammation and bleeding. The space is created from the centre of the breast with the balloon, which respects the circumferential ligament, a guarantee of stability over time.

Not every breast is suited to it

Preservé implants go up to 320 cc. The desired volume, skin quality and tissue thickness determine the indication. And when a request for augmentation comes with ptosis, augmentation alone is not enough: the ptosis must also be corrected, with a mastopexy. The clinical examination decides.

An innovative implant technology

Implants suited to your morphology

Preservé implants incorporate the latest advances in Motiva research. Their silicone gel, soft and stable, adapts naturally to the movements of the body for a particularly natural look.

These implants are available in every volume up to 320 cc, allowing an augmentation perfectly suited to each patient’s morphology.

Natural and discreet results

The aim of this method is to restore volume to the breasts while preserving their movement and softness.

The breast remains soft, mobile and harmonious, without a fixed appearance. The scar, fine and concealed, becomes barely perceptible over time.

This minimally invasive approach offers a modern alternative to traditional breast surgery: a lighter, faster and better tolerated operation, for a result that is both aesthetic and natural.
