Preservé is a less invasive breast augmentation technique that preserves your natural breast tissue functionality, maintains the inner support structures of the breasts, and reduces the risk of changes in sensation. One of the most-loved benefits of the Preservé method is that it typically doesn’t require general anesthesia, making it an “awake breast augmentation" with the option for mild sedation for added comfort.
Preservé breast augmentation is a less invasive technique that typically offers a shorter recovery time and natural results. It’s a great option for those seeking "ballerina boob” or “yoga boob” results.
Due to the less invasive nature of Preservé breast augmentation, patients are typically back to their routines in 1-2 days.
Preservé breast augmentation results are typically faster than traditional breast augmentation, with noticeable changes right away and continued improvements for up to 3 months as swelling and bruising resolve.
It's important to remember that these are general guidelines. Always check in with your provider and follow their specific guidelines for your unique anatomy and treatment.

Preservé is a breast augmentation technique that is new to the United States, but has been used in Europe and other parts of the world for years. The Preservé technique typically offers a shorter recovery, the choice to do the procedure “awake” or under light sedation, slightly smaller scars, and achieves the “yoga boobs” or “ballerina boobs” look.
In the United States, the Preservé method is offered by only a handful of select board-certified plastic surgeons. These surgeons have completed exclusive and thorough training at Motiva’s headquarters in Costa Rica.
Preservé utilizes specialized tools like the Motiva Channel Separator, Motiva Inflatable Balloon, and advanced Motiva SmoothSilk Ergonomix silicone implants to place the implant with minimal disruption to the breasts’ natural structure.
Because the implants are placed over the muscle using a specialized device, the chest muscles remain intact, which reduces the recovery time in many cases. This strategic placement maintains the inner support structures of the natural breast for improved implant stability.
Preservé uses Motiva SmoothSilk Ergonomix® silicone implants with sizes ranging from 150cc to 315cc, making the ideal Preservé patient those looking for a subtle increase in volume (1-2 bra cup size increase). SmoothSilk Ergonomix implants are available in three profiles: mini, demi, and full. Your surgeon will guide you on your ideal profile based on your anatomy and goals.
Traditional breast augmentation is still an excellent, safe, and effective technique for placing implants. Traditional breast augmentation is great for those interested in a larger implant size and those who desire more flexibility in implant size, profile, brand, and placement.

Yes! You can combine Preservé with a breast lift. Combining a lift with Preservé allows someone who would benefit from a lift to still have many of the benefits of a Preservé breast augmentation, such as an easier recovery, preserving natural breast tissue structures, and reduced risk of changes in sensation.
When a lift is done, general anesthesia is preferred to ensure maximum comfort. Your surgeon will guide you on whether Preservé with a lift is right for you based on your anatomy and goals.
Preserve breast augmentation scars are typically ~2.5cm and strategically placed out of sight in the inframammary fold (in the breast crease).
