What is Preservé Breast Augmentation Surgery?
At Landford Plastic Surgery in Washington, D.C., and Maryland, Dr. Wilmina Landford offers Preservé breast augmentation surgery for patients who want to enhance the size and beauty of their breasts while maintaining a natural look and feel.
Preservé breast augmentation surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a variety of specialized tools to insert and place specialized implants in the breasts. The tools and techniques used cause significantly less trauma to the surrounding breast tissue and allow for the use of smaller incisions, precise implant placement, and a faster recovery period. This gentler, more precise approach to breast augmentation allows better preservation of natural tissue while maintaining the breast’s natural support structures, helping minimize sagging over time.
For many women, a big concern with undergoing breast augmentation is ensuring their results look as natural as possible. Advancements in surgical techniques, as well as in breast implant materials and construction, have led to increasingly better results over the years.

What are the Steps of Preservé Breast Augmentation Surgery?
- Anesthesia: Preservé breast augmentation is performed under general anesthesia, so you will not experience any pain or discomfort.
- Creating a channel: a small incision is made under the breast, where the Motiva® Channel Separator is inserted to create a tunnel for the breast implant.
- Creating a pocket for the implant: An inflatable balloon is inserted into the breast and gently expanded to create a space for the breast implant to rest.
- Implant insertion: A special insertion sleeve is used to insert the breast implant into the newly created pocket safely.
Surgical Techniques and Tools for Preservé Breast Augmentation Surgery
Preservé by Motiva uses a variety of innovative tools and techniques to make the surgical process gentler on the body and more precise, resulting in a shorter recovery period and more natural-looking and feeling results.
Motiva® Channel Separator
A specialized tool that allows the implant to be inserted through a smaller incision with less scarring. The channel separator has a blunt tip that gently separates the breast tissue, minimizing damage and preserving natural breast sensation.
Motiva® Inflatable Balloon
This device is used to gently spread and stretch the natural breast tissue to create a pocket within it without causing trauma to the tissue. This preserves the tissue’s natural structure for additional support.
Motiva® Insertion Sleeve
A special conical sleeve that is inserted through the channel created in the breast. The sleeve allows the implant to be gently inserted through a smaller incision while eliminating the need to touch it, which helps reduce the risk of infection.
SmoothSilk Ergonomix2® with Zen® Breast Implants
Custom-made breast implants are created using advanced technology and materials that give the breasts a much more natural feel to the touch as well as a natural-looking shape and profile.
Where Are the Incisions and Scars for Preservé Breast Augmentation?
The incisions for the procedure are made just under the breasts along their natural creases. Thanks to the advanced channel separator and insertion sleeve, the incisions for the procedure are much smaller than those used for traditional breast augmentation, resulting in smaller scars that are well hidden for a more natural appearance.
Preservé Breast Augmentation Recovery
Thanks to the gentler approach and use of advanced tools, the recovery period is shorter and less painful than traditional breast augmentation. You can expect to experience some swelling, bruising, sensitivity, and discomfort for the first few days. Swelling will continue to subside over the following weeks.
