Motiva Breast Implants - The Most Natural Feeling Breast Implants
Looking and feeling your best starts with confidence in your body. Breast implants can help you achieve the shape and size that makes you feel beautiful, enhancing your natural features. Motiva Breast Implants offer an innovative approach to breast enhancement that focuses on natural results, safety, and comfort. These premium implants, made with new technology, move with your body and feel like a natural part of you. Our clinic specializes in Motiva implants because we believe in giving you the most advanced options as you take this step toward your desired look.
Women choose Motiva implants because they want breasts that not only look amazing but also feel natural. Unlike traditional implants that might feel firm or move unnaturally, Motiva implants are designed to complement your unique body shape. Our patients love how these implants blend seamlessly with their lifestyle, whether they're exercising, hugging loved ones, or simply going about their day.
Why Choose Motiva Implants?
Motiva breast implants represent the cutting edge of implant technology. They're designed with your safety and satisfaction in mind, using advanced materials and manufacturing techniques that traditional implants can't match. The shell of each Motiva implant features innovative engineering that works with your body rather than against it, creating a more natural look and feel that moves as you do.
What truly sets Motiva apart is their commitment to both beauty and safety. These implants are created with patient well-being as the top priority. That’s why they have lower complication rates than many alternatives. A RealSelf survey shows 95% of women rate their Motiva Implant breast augmentation "worth it." Only Motiva Implants have SmoothSilk, a unique surface designed for enhanced biocompatibility, to improve the body's response to your implants.
The SmoothSilk surface results in:
Soft breasts that feel natural to the touch
0.5% capsular contracture rates (when the scar tissue surrounding the implant tightens or hardens)
No reported primary device-related incidence of BIA-ALCL (cancer of the immune system)
Types of Motiva Breast Implants
Motiva Round Plus
The Motiva Round Plus implant gives you the perfect balance of softness and firmness. This option is ideal if you want more volume and enhanced cleavage while maintaining a natural appearance. The Round Plus creates fuller breasts with a rounded shape at the top, which many women prefer for the youthful, perkier profile it creates. These implants still move naturally with your body while providing that extra boost you desire.
Motiva Ergonomix
Motiva Ergonomix implants are designed to mimic the way natural breast tissue moves and feels. When you stand up, these implants take on a teardrop shape that follows the natural slope of the breast. When you lie down, they hold a round shape. This makes Ergonomix the perfect choice if you want enhancement that looks completely natural in all positions and activities, with a soft, subtle slope at the top of the breast.
Motiva Ergonomix2
The newest addition to the Motiva family, Ergonomix2 implants take natural movement to the next level. These implants feature even greater adaptability and softness than the original Ergonomix design. The Ergonomix2 uses advanced gel technology that responds to your body's position with incredible accuracy, creating the most natural-looking and feeling result possible.

Breast implant procedure steps
Your breast implant procedure with Motiva is a carefully planned process designed for your safety and optimal results. First, you'll have a thorough consultation to determine the right implant size and type for your goals. On surgery day, you'll receive anesthesia for comfort, then Dr. Lowenstein will create small incisions, sculpt the implant pocket, place your chosen Motiva implants, and close the incisions with precision. The entire procedure typically takes one to two hours. Most patients go home the same day.
1 Consultation and implant selection
Dr. Lowenstein will help you select the perfect Motiva implant by considering your body measurements, existing breast tissue, and aesthetic goals.
2 Pre-surgery preparation
Before your procedure, you'll complete the necessary lab work and receive detailed guidelines to prepare your body for surgery and recovery. You'll need to avoid certain medications, stop smoking if applicable, and arrange for someone to drive you home after your procedure.
3 FULL RECOVERY TIMELINE
Your recovery with Motiva implants follows these clear stages:
First week: Managing initial swelling and discomfort
After two weeks: Improved mobility and decreased swelling as implants begin settling, people with office jobs typically return to work
Months one to three: Most swelling resolves; implants continue settling into a natural position
What to expect during recovery
Most patients return to light activities within seven to 10 days after getting Motiva implants, with normal routines resuming after one to two weeks. During recovery, you'll wear a supportive surgical bra, follow specific movement restrictions, and attend follow-up appointments to track your healing. Mild swelling, bruising, and temporary changes in nipple sensation are normal during the first few weeks. Dr. Lowenstein will provide personalized care instructions to ensure optimal healing and results.
