Motiva Implants: What To Know About the Newest Breast Implant on the Market
After receiving FDA approval for the US Market in September of 2024, Motiva SmoothSilk Round and Ergonomix Implants became the newest implants available in the USA.
This new generation of implants by Establishment Labs offers a 6th-generation implant with a next-level innovation implant gel and shell technology.
Dr. Perez has been practicing long enough to have experience placing the 3rd, 4th, and 5th generation of implants and was delighted to see that this new implant does offer a distinct design.
In this article, we will cover Motiva implants: what to know about the newest breast implant on the market, including their features, benefits, and safety considerations.
So, What Makes Motiva Different?
For starters, this implant has a slightly blue tint to it (most implants on the market are clear). This visual indicator helps the surgeon confirm the barrier layer integrity of the implant by verifying that the outer shell is free of defects, such as silicone leaking, prior to placement—a quality assurance visual verification.
Next, the shell is a little different. Although we only use smooth surface implants in our office (as textured implants can be associated with a very rare lymphoma), the Motiva implant has a 4-micron surface, which gives it a proprietary microscopically textured surface that promotes biocompatibility, reduces complications like capsular contracture and bacterial adherence, and minimizes the inflammatory response compared to traditional implant textures. Also, to point out, Motiva implants have no case of ALCL breast implant lymphoma association and have a very low capsular contracture rate.
Key Features and Safety Highlights
Finally, the fill of the Motiva implant is filled 100% with a highly cohesive 6th generation gel and TrueMonobloc® technology to seamlessly integrate the implant’s shell and silicone gel filler. This creates a unified, cohesive structure where the shell and gel function together as a single entity.
But perhaps the most safety and piece of mind feature, in Dr. Perez’s opinion, is that these implants are ONLY available exclusively to Board Certified Plastic Surgeons. Board Certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgeons signifies that your doctor underwent extensive training and adheres to strict safety protocols to minimize risks and possesses the skills to manage potential complications.
