Motiva® Breast Implants in Austin

Q: How long do Motiva implants last?

Motiva implants are designed for long-term use. While no implant is considered "lifetime," many patients enjoy 10–20+ years without issues. Dr. Haydon will monitor your implants during annual checkups.

Q: Are Motiva implants right for me if I’ve had previous implants?

Yes! Motiva is an excellent option for breast revision procedures to replace older implants, correct asymmetry, or improve texture and appearance.

Q: Can I breastfeed with Motiva implants?

Most patients are able to breastfeed successfully. Be sure to mention this during your consultation.

Q: Will they look natural?

Absolutely. Ergonomix® implants were created to mimic natural breast movement and shape—especially when standing, lying down, or moving.

What Sets Motiva Implants Apart

TrueMonobloc® Shell

Motiva’s shell and gel are bonded into a single structure, improving strength and reducing the risk of rupture or gel migration. This structure also allows for smaller incisions and easier insertion using the Motiva minimal-scar techniques.

SilkSurface® & SmoothSilk® Nanotexture

Motiva’s proprietary surface is designed at the nanoscale to reduce inflammation and lower the risk of capsular contracture (scar tissue around the implant). These surfaces mimic the smoothness of natural tissue—without the risks associated with older textured implants.

Fun fact: Clinical studies show capsular contracture rates of less than 1% with Motiva—one of the lowest in the industry.

ProgressiveGel® (Ultima & Plus)

The implant gel is soft, responsive, and moldable—designed to adapt to your movements. Choose from:

Ergonomix®: Moves naturally with your body, mimicking breast tissue
Round: Provides a fuller, more lifted aesthetic with enhanced upper pole volume

BluSeal® Integrity Indicator

A patented light-blue tint confirms the barrier layer is intact—providing a quick visual safety check for surgeons.

Q Inside® Safety Technology

Each Motiva implant includes a biocompatible microtransponder that stores the implant’s serial number, size, and model. This provides lifetime traceability—without compromising safety or aesthetics.

Placement Options: More Freedom with Motiva

Thanks to Motiva’s superior softness and structure, implants can often be placed:

Over the muscle (subfascial): Less discomfort, faster recovery, and no muscle distortion when flexing
Under the muscle (submuscular): Ideal for patients with less natural breast tissue or for specific athletic concerns

Our surgeons will evaluate your anatomy and lifestyle goals to determine the ideal placement for your body.

Yes—Motiva breast implants received FDA approval in 2024 for use in the United States after over a decade of successful use in more than 75 countries.

Fewer complications than older implant types
