Purpose of This Article: This comprehensive guide is designed to educate prospective patients like you about Motiva breast implants.

We aim to provide clear, accurate, and helpful information regarding their features, who makes a good candidate, what the procedure entails at Cevre Hospital, the recovery process, potential benefits and risks, an overview of cost considerations in Turkey, and answers to frequently asked questions.

Our goal is to empower you to make an informed decision about your breast augmentation journey.

What Are Motiva Breast Implants?

Motiva breast implants are a new generation of silicone breast implants developed by Establishment Labs. They are engineered with a focus on safety, patient satisfaction, and achieving natural-looking and feeling results.

Their design incorporates several technological advancements that set them apart in the field of breast aesthetics.
 

Implant Materials and Technology

Silicone Gel Composition: Motiva implants are filled with a highly cohesive silicone gel called TrueForm®. This gel is designed to be:
 

• Ultra-Cohesive: Meaning the gel holds together uniformly, minimizing the risk of gel migration or leakage even in the unlikely event of an implant shell rupture.
   
• Shape Retaining: It allows the implant to maintain its intended shape over time, contributing to long-lasting aesthetic results.
   
• Soft and Natural Feel: Despite its cohesivity, the gel is formulated to mimic the suppleness of natural breast tissue.

Surface Options: Motiva offers distinct surface technologies to cater to different surgical needs and patient preferences:
 

• SmoothSilk®: This is an ultra-smooth surface with a very low coefficient of friction. It's designed to be biocompatible and to minimize irritation to surrounding tissues, which may contribute to lower rates of inflammation and complications like capsular contracture and double capsules.
  It's a nano-surface, meaning it has a very fine, uniform texture not visible to the naked eye, which differentiates it from traditional smooth or heavily textured implants.
   
• SilkSurface® (Also known as VelvetSurface® in some regions): This nano-textured surface is optimized for tissue integration and biocompatibility.
  The subtle texturing is designed to encourage a gentle interaction with the body's tissues, potentially reducing the risk of implant malposition and capsular contracture, without the aggressive texturing linked to certain past concerns with other implant types.
   

Implant Shapes & Profiles

Motiva provides a diverse range of shapes and profiles, allowing our surgeons at Cevre Hospital to tailor the breast augmentation to your unique anatomy and desired outcome.

Round vs. Ergonomic (Anatomical-like behavior):
 

• Motiva Round Implants: These implants provide a classic, fuller look, especially in the upper pole of the breast. They are designed to offer a balanced distribution of volume.
   
• Motiva Ergonomix® Implants: These innovative implants behave like anatomical (teardrop) implants once placed in the body but are technically round.
  Their unique gel properties and shell design allow them to adapt to the body’s position, providing a natural slope when standing and a rounder appearance when lying down, mimicking the behavior of natural breast tissue.
  
  This eliminates concerns about implant rotation sometimes associated with traditional shaped implants.
   

Profile Varieties: To further customize your results, Motiva implants come in various profiles, which determine how far the implant projects from the chest wall:
 

• Mini: Lowest profile for subtle enhancement.
   
• Demi: Moderate-low profile.
   
• Full: High profile for more pronounced projection.
   
• Corsé: Extra-high profile for maximum projection and fullness.
  The selection of the appropriate profile at Cevre Hospital is a crucial part of the consultation process, ensuring the chosen implant complements your body frame and aesthetic goals.
   

Key Safety & Innovation Features of Motiva Implants

Patient safety is paramount at Cevre Hospital, and Motiva's commitment to safety through innovation aligns with our ethos.

RFID Traceability (“Q Inside Safety Technology™”)

Many Motiva implants include the Q Inside Safety Technology™, an FDA-cleared microtransponder embedded within the implant.

This tiny, passive chip allows healthcare providers to non-invasively access important implant-specific information using a dedicated handheld reader.

This can include:

• Implant serial number
• Manufacturer name
• Date of manufacture
• Lot number
• Implant volume and dimensions
  This feature provides an extra layer of security and verification for patients and surgeons, ensuring peace of mind and easy access to vital data throughout the implant's lifespan.
   

Barrier Layer Technology (BluSeal®)

Motiva implants feature a unique barrier layer called BluSeal®. This is an indicator layer within the implant shell that provides surgeons with visual confirmation of the shell's integrity, ensuring there are no breaches or defects.

This layer also plays a crucial role in minimizing silicone gel diffusion (often referred to as "gel bleed") from the implant into the surrounding tissue, which is a key factor for long-term implant performance and safety.
 

Controlled Cohesivity & Rheology (TrueMonobloc® and TrueForm®)

Motiva’s TrueMonobloc® shell configuration creates a unified structure that is strong and durable yet flexible.

This, combined with the ProgressiveGel Ultima® or ProgressiveGel PLUS™ (TrueForm® gels), ensures:
 

• Balanced Softness and Firmness: The gel is engineered to feel natural to the touch.
   
• Shape Stability: The cohesive nature of the gel helps the implant maintain its form and prevents unwanted migration or wrinkling.
   
• Elasticity: The implants can withstand significant stress and return to their original shape, which also allows for potentially smaller incisions during surgery.
   

Who Is a Good Candidate for Motiva Implants in Turkey?

Deciding to undergo breast augmentation with Motiva implants is a significant personal choice.

Our specialists at Cevre Hospital will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine if this is the right option for you.

Candidacy Criteria

Generally, good candidates for Motiva breast implants include women who:
 

• Are seeking breast augmentation: To increase breast size or enhance breast shape.
   
• Are seeking breast revision surgery: To replace existing implants for medical or aesthetic reasons.
   
• Have sufficient soft-tissue coverage: Adequate natural breast tissue helps to camouflage the implant, leading to more natural-looking results.
   
• Are in good general health: This includes being free from active infections or uncontrolled medical conditions that could impair healing.
   
• Have realistic expectations: Understanding what Motiva implants can and cannot achieve is crucial for satisfaction. Our surgeons will discuss this openly with you.

  • Necessary lab tests or mammograms.
     
  • Fasting before surgery.
     

Surgical Technique

Our experienced surgeons at Cevre Hospital employ meticulous techniques for Motiva implant placement:

• Anesthesia: The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia, ensuring you are completely asleep and comfortable.  
   
• Incision Sites: Common options include:
   
  • Inframammary: A small incision made in the crease beneath the breast (most common).
     
  • Periareolar: An incision made around the edge of the areola.
     
  • Transaxillary: An incision made in the armpit. The choice depends on your anatomy, implant type, and surgeon's recommendation.
     
• Pocket Placement: The implant will be placed in a pocket created either:
   
  • Subglandular: Behind the breast tissue but in front of the pectoral muscle.
     
  • Submuscular (or Subpectoral): Partially or fully behind the pectoral muscle.
     
  • Dual-Plane: A hybrid approach where the upper part of the implant is behind the muscle and the lower part is behind the breast tissue.
    This is often preferred for a more natural look with Motiva Ergonomix® implants.
     
• Implant Insertion & Positioning: The Motiva implant is carefully inserted and positioned within the created pocket. Surgeons may use a "no-touch" or minimal-touch technique with insertion sleeves to reduce contamination risk.
   
• Intraoperative Safety Checks:
   
  • RFID Scanning (for Q Inside Safety Technology™ implants): If applicable, the implant's identity is verified.
     
  • Implant Integrity Testing: Surgeons meticulously check the implant before and after placement.
     
  • BluSeal® Confirmation: Visual check of the barrier layer integrity.
     
• Closing Incisions: Incisions are closed with sutures, and surgical dressings or tape will be applied.
   

Procedure Duration & Setting

• Duration: Motiva breast augmentation surgery typically takes 1 to 2 hours.
   
• Setting: The procedure is performed in Cevre Hospital's state-of-the-art accredited surgical suites.
  Depending on your individual case and recovery, it can be an outpatient procedure (you go home the same day) or may involve a short overnight stay for observation and comfort. 
   

Recovery and Aftercare with Motiva Implants

Your recovery journey after Motiva breast augmentation at Cevre Hospital will be closely monitored by our team to ensure a smooth and comfortable healing process.

Immediate Postoperative Care
 

• Recovery Room: After surgery, you'll spend some time in our recovery area where our nursing staff will monitor your vital signs.
   
• Compression Garments or Surgical Bras: You will likely wake up wearing a special surgical bra or compression garment. This helps to minimize swelling, support the newly augmented breasts, and aid in the healing process.
   
• Pain Management: Some discomfort, tightness, and soreness are normal. Your surgeon will prescribe or recommend appropriate pain medication to keep you comfortable.
   
• Drain Protocol (if used): In some cases, small surgical drains may be placed to prevent fluid accumulation. If so, you'll receive instructions on how to care for them. They are usually removed within a few days.
   
• Discharge Instructions: Before you leave Cevre Hospital, you'll receive detailed instructions on wound care, medications, activity restrictions, and follow-up appointments.

Recovery Timeline (General Guide)

While individual experiences vary, here's a general timeline:
 

• Week 1:
   
  • Expect swelling, bruising, and mild to moderate discomfort.
     
  • Focus on rest and limited activity. Avoid lifting anything heavy or raising your arms above your head.
     
  • Short, gentle walks are encouraged to promote circulation.
     
  • You'll likely have your first follow-up appointment during this week.
     
• Weeks 2–4:
   
  • Swelling and bruising will gradually subside.
     
  • You may be able to return to light daily activities and office-based work, as approved by your surgeon.
     
  • Continue to avoid strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, and high-impact activities.
     
  • Your surgeon will guide you on when it's safe to resume wearing regular bras.
     
• Months 1-3:
   
  • Most of the significant swelling will have resolved, and your breasts will begin to settle into their new shape and position.
    This is often referred to as the "drop and fluff" phase, where implants soften and descend into a more natural position.
     
  • You can usually gradually resume most normal activities, including exercise, based on your surgeon’s guidance.
     
• Months 3–6 :
   
  • The final results will become more apparent as residual swelling diminishes and tissues fully adapt.
     
  • Scars will continue to mature and fade over time, potentially up to a year or more.
     

Tips for Optimal Healing

Our team at Cevre Hospital is dedicated to your successful recovery.

We recommend:
 

• Follow Garment Guidelines: Wear your surgical bra or compression garment as instructed.
   
• Sleep on Your Back: Initially, sleep in an elevated position on your back to help reduce swelling.
   
• Stay Hydrated & Eat a Balanced Diet: Good nutrition supports the healing process.
   
• Avoid Smoking & Alcohol: These can impair healing and increase complication risks.
   
• Attend All Follow-Up Appointments: These are crucial for monitoring your progress.
   
• Listen to Your Body: Don't push yourself too hard, too soon. Rest when you feel tired.

Risks and Potential Complications with Motiva Implants

While Motiva implants are designed with safety in mind and generally have a favorable risk profile, all surgical procedures, including breast augmentation, carry potential risks and complications.

At Cevre Hospital, we believe in transparent communication about these possibilities.

Common Risks Associated with Breast Augmentation Surgery (Regardless of Implant Type):

These are general risks applicable to any breast implant surgery:
 

• Temporary Pain, Swelling, and Bruising: These are expected side effects that typically resolve during the initial recovery period.
   
• Sensation Changes in Nipple/Areola or Breast Skin: Numbness, tingling, or increased sensitivity can occur. While often temporary, in some cases, these changes can be permanent.
   
• Infection: Though rare with proper surgical technique and aftercare, infections can occur and may require antibiotics or, in severe cases, implant removal.
   
• Hematoma or Seroma: Collection of blood (hematoma) or fluid (seroma) around the implant, which may require drainage.
   
• Scarring: Incisions will result in scars. While our surgeons strive for minimal and well-concealed scars, their appearance can vary.
   
• Asymmetry: Differences in breast shape, size, or nipple position.
   
• Anesthesia Risks: As with any surgery performed under general anesthesia.
   

Implant-Specific Concerns (Motiva and Silicone Implants in General):
 

• Capsular Contracture: The body naturally forms a scar tissue capsule around any implant. In some cases, this capsule can tighten and squeeze the implant, leading to firmness, pain, or a distorted appearance.
  Motiva’s SmoothSilk®/SilkSurface® nano-textures are designed to reduce this risk compared to some other implant surfaces, but it can still occur. 
   
• Implant Rupture or Deflation: Modern cohesive gel implants like Motiva are designed to be durable. However, rupture can occur due to trauma, wear over time, or spontaneously.
  With cohesive gel, the silicone tends to stay within the capsule even if the shell is compromised. Regular screening (e.g., MRI or ultrasound) is recommended to detect silent ruptures.
   
• Implant Malposition or Shifting: Implants can sometimes move from their intended position.
   
• Wrinkling or Rippling: This can sometimes be visible or palpable, especially in patients with thin breast tissue.
   
• Breast Implant-Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (BIA-ALCL): This is a rare type of T-cell lymphoma that can develop in the scar tissue and fluid surrounding breast implants.
  Research indicates a significantly higher association with macro-textured implants rather than smooth or nano-textured surfaces like Motiva's.
  
  The risk with nano-textured surfaces like Motiva's is considered to be very low, but it's a topic to discuss with your surgeon.
   
• Systemic Symptoms (Breast Implant Illness): Some women with breast implants report a variety of systemic symptoms, sometimes referred to as BII.
  The research into BII is ongoing, and a direct causal link to implants has not been definitively established.
   

Risk Mitigation Strategies at Cevre Hospital:

Our commitment to your safety at Cevre Hospital involves several key strategies:
 

• Selection of Board-Certified Plastic Surgeons: Our surgeons have extensive training and experience in breast augmentation with Motiva implants.
   
• Thorough Preoperative Assessment: Identifying any individual risk factors.
   
• Meticulous Surgical Technique: Including "no-touch" or minimal-touch implant insertion to reduce contamination.
   
• Adherence to Strict Sterility Protocols: Minimizing infection risk.
   
• Comprehensive Postoperative Care and Instructions: Guiding you through a safe recovery.
   
• Regular Follow-Up: Monitoring your long-term breast health and implant integrity.
  We recommend adhering to guidelines for breast cancer screening and implant monitoring (e.g., MRI or ultrasound as advised by your surgeon and regulatory bodies).
   

Your Cevre Hospital surgeon will discuss all potential risks and complications in detail during your consultation, empowering you to make an informed decision.

Motiva Implants in Turkey vs. Other Implant Brands: A Comparative Overview

When considering breast augmentation, it's helpful to understand how Motiva implants compare to other types available.

At Cevre Hospital, we offer various options, and the choice depends on your individual needs and our surgeon's expert recommendation.

Key Takeaways:
 

• Motiva focuses on innovative surfaces (nano-technology) for biocompatibility, advanced cohesive gels for a natural feel, and safety features like RFID traceability and a strong barrier layer.
  They aim to minimize risks like capsular contracture and BIA-ALCL associated with older textured designs.
   
• Traditional Textured Implants were designed to reduce rotation and capsular contracture, but certain macro-textures have been linked to higher BIA-ALCL risk, leading to decreased use or recalls of some brands.
   
• Standard Smooth Implants have a long history of use and a low BIA-ALCL risk, but some studies suggest they might have a slightly higher risk of capsular contracture or malposition if not placed meticulously, compared to some newer surface technologies.

The best implant choice is highly individual. During your consultation at Cevre Hospital, your surgeon will discuss the pros and cons of each suitable option in the context of your specific anatomy, goals, and medical history.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Motiva Implants

We understand you have questions, and at Cevre Hospital, we're here to provide clear answers.
 

• Q1: How long do Motiva implants last? Do I need to replace them?
   
  • A: Motiva implants are designed for long-term durability. While there's no specific expiration date, and many can last 10-15 years or even longer, they are not considered lifetime devices.
    It's important to have regular follow-ups and imaging (like MRI or ultrasound, as recommended by your surgeon, typically starting 5-10 years post-op and then every few years) to monitor their integrity.
    
    Replacement might be necessary due to rupture, complications like capsular contracture, or personal aesthetic desires over time.
     
• Q2: Can I breastfeed with Motiva implants?
   
  • A: In many cases, yes. The ability to breastfeed after augmentation depends more on the surgical technique (incision placement and whether milk ducts were affected) and individual factors rather than the implant type itself.
    Periareolar incisions (around the nipple) have a slightly higher chance of affecting breastfeeding compared to inframammary (under the breast) or transaxillary (armpit) incisions.
    
    Discuss your plans for future pregnancies and breastfeeding with your Cevre Hospital surgeon.
     
• Q3: Is the RFID chip (Q Inside Safety Technology™) safe? Will it set off airport scanners?
   
  • A: Yes, the Q Inside Safety Technology™ microtransponder is biocompatible, passive (it doesn't emit signals unless activated by a specific reader), and has received FDA clearance.
    It is considered MRI-safe under specific conditions (patients should always inform their MRI technician they have these implants). It will not set off airport security scanners.
    
    It provides a secure way for you and your doctor to access implant information.
     
• Q4: Will people be able to tell I have breast implants? Will they look and feel natural?
   
  • A: Motiva implants, especially the Ergonomix® line, are designed to provide a very natural look and feel. The goal of our Cevre Hospital surgeons is to achieve results that are harmonious with your body.
    Factors like implant size, placement (e.g., dual-plane), your natural tissue coverage, and the skill of the surgeon all contribute to the naturalness of the outcome.
    
    While a very skilled touch might detect an implant, visually, well-done augmentations with Motiva can be very difficult to discern from natural breasts.
     
• Q5: How do I choose the right Motiva profile and size for my body?
   
  • A: This is a collaborative process between you and your Cevre Hospital plastic surgeon. During your consultation, your surgeon will take precise measurements of your chest and existing breast tissue, discuss your aesthetic goals in detail, and may use sizers or 3D imaging technology (like Crisalix or Vectra) to help you visualize different options.
    The aim is to choose a size and profile that complements your frame, meets your expectations, and looks balanced and beautiful.
     
• Q6: What is the "drop and fluff" phenomenon I hear about?
   
  • A: "Drop and fluff" refers to the process where breast implants settle into their final position after surgery. Initially, implants may sit higher on the chest and feel firmer due to swelling and muscle tightness (if placed submuscularly).
    Over weeks to months, as swelling subsides and muscles relax, the implants "drop" into a more natural position, and the breast tissue "fluffs" around them, resulting in a softer, more natural appearance.
     
• Q7: How soon can I exercise after Motiva breast augmentation?
   
  • A: You'll need to avoid strenuous exercise, especially involving the upper body and chest muscles, for about 4-6 weeks, or as advised by your Cevre Hospital surgeon.
    Light walking is usually encouraged soon after surgery. Your surgeon will provide a specific timeline for gradually reintroducing different types of physical activity.
