🧬 What is the Preservé™ Technique?

Preservé™ is an innovative, less invasive breast augmentation technique that uses state-of-the-art devices and implants to preserve the anatomical structure, breast function, and sensitivity, with minimal manipulation of the patient's native tissues.

This approach was developed by Establishment Labs, manufacturer of Motiva® SmoothSilk® Ergonomix2® implants, with the aim of respecting natural tissues and improving the surgical experience and long-term results.

💡 Preservé™ Technique Differentiators

The technique is based on four pillars of breast tissue preservation:

1. Cellular

• Uses a 4-micron SmoothSilk® surface, with low inflammatory response and excellent biocompatibility.
• Significant reduction in bacterial adhesion and lower rate of capsular contracture (<1%).

2. Structural

• Creation of a specific anatomical space (preservation space) without injuring the Cooper's ligaments or the pectoralis major muscle.
• Tools such as the Motiva® Canal Separator and Motiva® Inflatable Baloon ensure controlled and atraumatic access.

3. Dynamic

• Allows the redistribution and recruitment of native breast tissue, increasing the final volume by up to 25% compared to the conventional method.
• Lower risk of malposition and greater symmetry.

4. Functional

• Preserves nipple sensitivity and glandular function, with a 0% incidence of sensitivity loss in clinical studies (Mia Femtech™).
• No damage to the pectoral muscle and better postoperative recovery.

🧪 Technologies Involved

🟣 SmoothSilk® Ergonomix2®

• 4-micron surface + highly cohesive viscoelastic gel (ProgressiveGel ULTIMA®).
• Highly adaptable to breast tissue, offers a natural look and feel.

🟪 Motiva® Inflatable Baloon

• Used for controlled tissue expansion, with minimal surgical aggression.

🔧 Motiva® Insertion Device

• Allows implant placement with a no-touch technique, reducing the risk of contamination and tissue trauma.

📏 Implant Selection Set and Marking Tools

• Precision in choosing the ideal size based on the patient's anatomy.

🏥 Indications for the Preservé™ Technique

• Primary breast augmentation
• Augmentation Mammoplasty
• Hybrid techniques (with autologous fat, for example)
• Patients who value naturalness, safety, comfort, and minimal intervention.

---

📊 Mia® Clinical Study Results (100 patients – 3 years)

• 0% capsular contracture
• 0% inferior malposition
• 0% loss of sensitivity
• 0% implant-related reoperations
• 0% undulations or rippling

These data reinforce the efficacy and safety of the Preservé™ approach in the long term.

🧘‍♀️ Facilitated Postoperative Recovery

Thanks to minimal dissection and infiltration with tumescent solution, the patient tends to experience:

• Less postoperative pain
• Faster return to activities
• Lower risk of hematomas or seromas

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the Preservé™ technique? It is an innovative breast augmentation technique that aims to preserve breast anatomy and function with less surgical aggression.
2. What are the benefits compared to the traditional method? Less pain, faster recovery, lower risk of complications, and preservation of sensitivity.
3. Is the technique indicated for all patients? No. A personalized evaluation is necessary. Women with preserved breast tissue and a desire for natural results are good candidates.
4. What is the difference of Motiva® Ergonomix2® implants? They are implants with highly adaptable gel and a SmoothSilk® surface, offering a natural feel and safety.
5. Is it possible to perform with sedation instead of general anesthesia? Yes. The technique allows the use of conscious sedation in some cases, according to medical evaluation.
6. How is tissue preparation done before implant? With infiltration of tumescent solution and controlled expansion with an inflatable balloon.
7. Is there a visible scar after the procedure? The scar is smaller than that of the traditional technique and discreetly positioned in the inframammary fold.
8. How long do the results last? With the Preservé™ technique and Motiva® implants, the results are long-lasting and safe.
9. Can this technique be used in reconstructive surgeries or implant exchanges? Yes, especially in exchanges where more tissue preservation is desired.
10. Is there a risk of rejection or infection? The risk is extremely low, especially with the no-touch technique and low bacterial adhesion surface.
