For those who haven’t heard, Motiva Implants® are one of the latest breast implants to receive FDA approval in the United States—a lengthy and rigorous process. Created by Establishment Labs®, this implant technology is bringing much-needed innovation and advancing the capabilities of modern breast implants and augmentation.
Motiva is just one of many implant options available, and choosing the right one is a significant decision since it’s something that will be with you for years to come. It’s also not a decision you should make alone. Our office has extensive experience guiding patients through the implant selection process and has completed successful surgeries and recoveries using Motiva implants. We’re excited to share the unique features of Motiva implants to help guide you on your breast augmentation journey.
What Makes Motiva Implants Different?
With recent FDA approval, Motiva implants have been making waves due to their unique features. One of the most notable is their specialized silicone formula, which combines several advanced technologies, including the SmoothSilk® surface and ProgressiveGel ULTIMA®. Together, these technologies help realistically mimic the look, feel, and movement of a natural breast.
This technology is exclusive to Motiva and incorporates their Ergonomix® design. Ergonomix implants adapt to body movement, maintaining a round shape when lying down and transitioning to a teardrop shape when standing. Motiva also offers implants designed to hold their shape consistently. These preferences are typically discussed during your free consultation with Dr. Lewis and his team.
Additional benefits include:
- Few complications: Over 14 years of consistently low device-related complication rates worldwide
- Implant protection: A subtle blue tint in the shell helps surgeons confirm implant integrity during placement
- Variety of options: A wide range of sizes, shapes, and customizable options to suit individual anatomy and goals
The Breast Augmentation Process with Motiva Implant
Beginning the breast augmentation process with Motiva implants starts like most cosmetic procedures—with a consultation. Choosing a trusted plastic surgeon with experience in your desired procedure is essential. Dr. Lewis has experience with Motiva implants as well as many other implant types. He and his team will carefully evaluate whether Motiva implants are the right option for you and answer any questions you may have.
Is Recovery from Surgery the Same with Motiva Implants?
Recovery from breast augmentation varies from patient to patient, as each procedure is customized. At Lewis Plastic Surgery, we provide detailed post-operative care instructions ahead of time so you know what to expect.
That said, any qualified plastic surgeon should be able to explain what a standard recovery timeline looks like and how it may vary based on your individual procedure.

How long do breast implants last?
Motiva implants do not have a defined “shelf life.” As long as the patient is not experiencing issues, replacement is not required.

They feature a silicone elastomer shell filled with a specially engineered silicone gel known as ProgressiveGel®.
