More About Implant Technology
Motiva SuperSilicones®
Breast implant shell quality is an essential safety feature and is also key to providing flexibility and other mechanical properties crucial for the device’s performance.4
With the Ergonomix2® implants, Motiva® is introducing a new silicone formulation and shell configuration that improves elongation,5 enhancing its ability to adapt to changes.
Why is this important? The ability to bend easily is essential for the implant to be introduced through small incisions. Ergonomix2® is an implant designed to enhance minimally invasive techniques like Motiva MinimalScar®.
TrueMonobloc+®
This feature is a proprietary technology that links the components of the shell and the filling gel to create a more cohesive structure.1
The interaction between the unique features of the components in Ergonomix2® maximizes its bonding properties while conferring the system with more flexibility and adaptability. This gives rise to an upgraded version named TrueMonobloc+®.
Ergonomix2® implants can be compressed to a higher degree than our trusted high-performing Ergonomix®, thus facilitating the insertion of the device through smaller incisions.6
BluSeal+®
For more than three decades, technology advancements have led to a significant improvement in control of silicone diffusion from breast implants.7
Our safety barrier layer is one-of-a-kind. It is a lightly tinted, blue-barrier layer made with biocompatible dyes to allow for pre-surgical visual inspection.1
BluSeal+® improves the performance of an already outstanding safety feature.8
ProgressiveGel Ultima®
Natural tissue dynamics resemblance has been the key missing factor in traditional implants due to their predefined shape, which remains unaltered whether the patient is standing up, inclined or lying down.
Motiva® incorporates this organic movement characteristic into Ergonomix2® through the unique viscoelastic properties of the Ultima® gel – holding a round shape when the patient is lying down and forming a natural looking teardrop shape when she is standing.9
The outcome is a gel created with a unique set of properties that provide a better adaptation to movement than other silicone gels tested, resembling the mobility of natural tissue.1
SmoothSilk®/SilkSurface®
An advanced smooth surface designed to enhance biocompatibility.2
Ergonomix2® comes with
SmoothSilk®/SilkSurface®, a controlled uniform
surface designed and demonstrated to:
• Mitigate the inflammatory and fibrotic response of your body.10
• Limit bacterial load, reducing the risk of biofilm formation.11
• Reduce the prevalence of chronic inflammatory complications, such as
double capsules and late seromas.12
RFID-enabled Implants
The electronic serial number (ESN) and related information about your implants is kept safely through a battery-free and passive radiofrequency identification device3: our Qid®.
This first-of-its-kind safety technology allows your healthcare provider to use an external, hand-held reader to identify details about your Motiva Implants after surgery, even if your printed implant ID card isn’t available.
FAQ
It is important to note that although you may have a desired cup size in mind, the choice of your breast implant size should be made according to your anatomy. Choosing a breast implant too big or too small can affect the long-term results of your surgery and the aesthetic appearance. Therefore, choosing a breast implant that is as close to your desired cup size but within your anatomical parameters is key to long term results and breast appearance. It is important to discuss your goals and implant choices in consultation with your surgeon before assuming a certain implant type is the best option for you.
Your surgeon will provide you with aftercare instructions which must be followed to ensure optimum results. Although surgical instructions vary, it is usually recommended to avoid driving and heavy lifting in the first few weeks, avoid strenuous exercise for six weeks, and maintain your surgical bra for six weeks.
Breast implants are not lifetime devices. The life expectancy of a silicone breast implant cannot be precisely estimated or guaranteed as there are many factors beyond the manufacturer’s control that can affect the longevity of a device.
As with all surgical procedures, there are a few cases in which breast augmentation might not be right for you or just not right at this time, and it all depends on your health and current lifestyle. However, with that said, most women are excellent candidates for breast augmentation and your surgeon will advise you on your suitability.
Gaining a good understanding of your surgeon’s credentials and technical skills in surgery can help to avoid a journey of mishaps. It is OK to ask “What are your qualifications and skills?”
While many doctors can perform a breast augmentation, not all these surgeons specialize in breast surgery. Choosing a surgeon who has excellent experience in breast surgery can maximize your aesthetic results and minimize the risk of post-operative complications. Requesting “before-and-after” pictures can help you gain a good understanding of the surgeon’s work.
Remember that through our Find a Motiva® surgeon, you can connect with a certified surgeon who takes the time to answer your questions and has the skills to make you feel that you are in safe hands.
