The Secret to the Ultimate Motiva Implant Profile for You
Breast augmentation is an empowering surgery that can help you feel like you are in alignment with your best self. We aren’t always made in proportions that suit the rest of our frame, and breast implants can transform our self-image and overall confidence.
Achieving optimal results requires careful consideration of many crucial factors, with breast implant selection being paramount. This blog post explores the various Motiva implant profiles and guides you in making informed decisions about your plastic surgery procedure.
Understanding Motiva Breast Implant Options
Motiva implants are renowned for their advanced technology and customizable options. A key aspect of choosing the right Motiva implant lies in understanding the two options currently available in the United States.
Motiva SmoothSilk Round Implants: As the name suggests, round implants offer a symmetrical and circular shape. This profile typically results in a more projected and fuller aesthetic. This is ideal when seeking more volume in the upper pole, or when there is minimal breast tissue overall and we are trying to build a new breast foundation with the implant. The round implant can look natural when you are sized appropriately. This is where extensive experience of your board-certified plastic surgeon really helps.
Motiva SmoothSilk Ergonomix Implants: Designed to mimic the natural shape of the female breast, these breast implants feature a teardrop-like contour with a more pronounced base. This profile often provides a natural appearance, particularly in patients with a naturally more pendulous breast shape with more fullness on the bottom. This is ideal for women seeking to enhance their “underboob.”
Understanding Motiva Implant Profiles
Motiva Implant Profiles are distinguished by differences in the width and height of the implant. Put simple, the higher the profile, the fuller the look. The implant will be narrower and project more (in a forward dimension, so the breast will look fuller from the front) than an implant of a similar volume with a lower profile.
Remember, we are using cup sizes as a general guide for the purpose of illustration. In real life, we all know that cup sizes are not objective, and more about a generalized proportion rather than a specific or precise breast volume.
Full: This is the highest profile available in both Round and Ergonomix Motiva Implants. The Full Motiva Implant Profile is ideal for a woman with a narrow chest, or narrow bra band, and petite breasts. When your band is 34 or less, if your goal is to go up two sizes and or be around a full C cup, chances are high your surgeon will recommend a Motiva Implant Profile that is full.
Demi: This is the middle-of-the-road Motiva Implant Profile. This implant is best suited for women with a wider breast base and some breast tissue who are seeking a little extra plump in the upper pole or cleavage, or with minimal breast tissue who want to look natural with enhanced volume. Perhaps they feel like they lack any feminine curves and want just a little boost so that the sports bra doesn’t need extra padding. This Motiva Implant Profile is Ideal for a subtle enhancement in women with minimal to moderate baseline breast tissue.
Mini: This Motiva Implant Profile is ideal for women who want a very subtle boost in volume, perhaps they just want to go up by one cup size, so from barely A to a full B, or if the goal is to go from a full B to a small C. This is perfect for folks who aren’t looking to change their wardrobe, but they are rather more interested in filling out the top part of the bra cup and enjoying full breasts without a push-up bra.
Factors Influencing Implant Selection
Does this feel as clear as mud? Don’t worry! It is not a simple black or white solution. The ideal implant profile for each individual is determined by a combination of factors, including:
Aesthetic Goals: Defining your desired aesthetic outcome is crucial. Are you seeking a subtle enhancement or a more dramatic change in breast size and shape? Be honest with yourself. Do you want to look like you do in your favorite date night bra, or do you want to be fuller than that? Are you looking to change your wardrobe to fit a fuller bust, or do you want to fit better in your existing wardrobe and match your body proportions.
Body Type: Your natural breast shape, chest wall anatomy, and body proportions will significantly influence the most suitable Motiva Implant Profile for you. There is no one size fits all approach to breast implant surgery. Just look at our gallery! We put the same size breast implant in different women, and the overall look is totally different from woman to woman. The characteristics that make your “before” picture unique are also what dictate your “after” appearance. We believe you should celebrate these qualities that make your physique uniquely your own.
Lifestyle Considerations: Your lifestyle, including physical activity levels and clothing preferences, will be considered. That helps us determine if we should go above your muscle or subfascial (below your pectoralis major muscle). Sometimes we choose different Motiva Implant Profiles based on the location of the breast implant to achieve your desired look.
The Importance of a Comprehensive Consultation
Selecting the optimal Motiva Implant Profile requires a meticulous assessment and a collaborative discussion between you and your board certified plastic surgeon. We are trying to enhance your look, not make you look like someone else. During your Breast Augmentation consultation, I will carefully evaluate your individual needs and preferences, considering your:
Aesthetic goals: Discussing your desired outcome and addressing any areas of concern or asymmetries.
Medical history: Reviewing your medical history and any relevant health conditions.
Body composition and anatomy: Performing a thorough physical examination to assess your breast tissue, chest wall, and overall body proportions.
Lifestyle considerations: What do you do for fitness and do you hope to get pregnant in the future? These concerns weigh into the decision about breast implant placement, and Motiva Implant Profile, too.
This comprehensive approach with our all-female team ensures that your implant selection aligns with your unique anatomy, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals.
One Thing to Remember
Breast augmentation is a personalized surgical journey. There is no one-size-fits-all solution. By working closely with your surgeon and carefully considering all relevant factors, you can make informed decisions and achieve the most natural and beautiful results. I encourage you to schedule a consultation to discuss your individual needs and explore your Breast Augmentation options further.
