Breast implant technology has evolved significantly over the decades, but the fundamental surgical approach stayed largely the same: cut through tissue, create a pocket, insert the implant and recover. Preservé by Motiva changes that equation entirely. It represents one of the most meaningful advances in breast surgery in years, and Dr. Tenley Lawton is among a select group of surgeons in the country trained and certified to offer it.
What Preservé Actually Is
Preservé is a less invasive breast augmentation technique that places implants while preserving the natural anatomy of the breast. Rather than cutting through tissue to create a pocket, the procedure uses a specialized set of proprietary tools:
- The Motiva Channel Separator creates a tunnel through a small incision without cutting tissue
- The Motiva Inflatable Balloon gradually and precisely expands the space where the implant will sit
- The Motiva Ergonomix implant gets placed into a pocket shaped specifically to it, with surrounding tissue left largely intact
The result enhances volume while preserving breast tissue, nipple sensation, and chest muscle function.
