Redefining Breast Augmentation With an Anatomically Respectful Technique

The Boston Center for Plastic Surgery is excited to introduce Motiva Preservé, a revolutionary technology that preserves the natural structures of the breast, reduces tissue trauma, and achieves incredibly soft, natural-looking results. As a teaching site affiliated with Harvard Medical School and backed by over 35 years of surgical expertise, our practice is committed to advancing techniques that push the field forward.

What Is Motiva Preservé™?

Motiva Preservé™ is a modern breast augmentation approach developed to respect the breast’s natural anatomy. Instead of cutting through or disrupting the pectoralis muscle, this method gently creates space for the implant using a controlled, gradual expansion process.

Preservé combines three proprietary components engineered for precision and minimal invasiveness:

  • Motiva® Channel Separator: Creates a slim, guided pathway with minimal disturbance to surrounding tissue.
  • Controlled Inflation Balloon: Gently expands the natural tissue layers to form a custom breast pocket without cutting muscle fibers or ligaments.
  • No-Touch Insertion Sleeve: Enables the smooth placement of SmoothSilk Ergonomix implants with enhanced sterility and accuracy.

The result is a softer look and feel, achieved with smaller implants, less disruption to your anatomy, and a faster recovery.

Benefits of Motiva Preservé™

Patients choose Preservé™ for its sophisticated blend of science, aesthetics, and comfort:

  • Preserves native breast support structures
  • Minimizes trauma, bleeding, and inflammation
  • Allows for smaller incisions and discreet scars
  • Avoids pectoralis muscle cutting or distortion
  • Produces soft, natural movement and long-term stability
  • Uses SmoothSilk® Ergonomix® implants with extensive safety data
  • Typically quicker, more comfortable recovery
  • Exceptionally low malposition and capsular contracture rates (based on emerging global data)
  • Eligible for Motiva’s Women’s Choice Program® and warranty options

What to Expect During Your Consultation With Dr. Vickram Tandon

Your experience begins with a private evaluation of your anatomy, goals, and expectations.

Dr. Tandon will:

  • Examine your natural breast shape and support structures
  • Review the difference between traditional augmentation and Preservé™
  • Discuss implant sizing, projection, and the role of Ergonomix® technology
  • Help you explore surgical options tailored to your ideal outcome

The goal is complete transparency, comfort, and confidence in your surgical plan.

Procedure Overview

Motiva Preservé™ is performed through a small incision—typically in the inframammary fold.

Dr. Tandon then:

  1. Creates a delicate tissue channel using the Channel Separator
  2. Gradually expands the space with the Balloon system to form an anatomically harmonious pocket
  3. Places the Ergonomix® implant through a no-touch insertion sleeve to maintain sterility and precision

Because the technique avoids cutting the pectoral muscle or major support structures, most patients experience less discomfort than with traditional submuscular augmentation.
