Breast augmentation is clearly among the top cosmetic surgery procedures performed to enhance the volume of the breast before and after menopause. A typical breast implant used in the United States contains either silicone or saline within the breast implant shell. For decades, plastic surgeons have utilized breast implants as a safe, reliable, and predictable method to enhance breast volume in women seeking more symmetry, increased breast size, and cleavage.
Dr. Raffy Karamanoukian is a double board certified plastic surgeon practicing in Beverly Hills and Santa Monica. His expertise in breast augmentation derives from his meticulous attention to detail, consummate aesthetic judgement, and surgical skills. He is an advocate of natural-looking breast enhancement surgery through breast lifts, breast reduction, and breast augmentation.
For women seeking breast augmentation for the first time, or breast implant revision after a previous surgery - a discussion of Motiva breast implants are important. Motiva is a trademark breast implant technology by Establishment Labs; which has expanded the technological scope of breast implant science through an innovative and FDA-Approved new type of silicone implant. In Santa Monica and Beverly Hills, Dr. Karamanoukian uses Motiva implants for revision breast augmentation, capsular contracture revision, and primary breast augmentation.
Motiva breast implants are uniquely different from Mentor, Sientra, and Allergan Natrelle brand breast implants for several reasons. Mainly, the technological advancements in Motiva implants have been demonstrated to reduce capsular contracture in patients seeking breast augmentation. These technological innovations provide patients and plastic surgeons added guidance and reassurance of longterm cosmetic success in surgery.
There are four main innovations with Motiva Breast Implants that make them a logical choice for patients. Dr. Karamanoukian utilizes a data-based model for surgery that reviews peer-reviewed and structural algorithms to lead surgical decision-making. In our Santa Monica and Beverly Hills plastic surgery practices, we discuss the following innovations about Motiva breast implants.
Silicone Material Advantages of Motiva:
Motiva breast implants are filled with the latest 6th generation silicone gel that is both cohesive and viscoelastic, which results in less breast implant folds, less surface friction, and lower risk of rupture. In doing so, Dr. Karamanoukian believes that the Motiva implants actuate increased softness, shape, and breast dynamics.
Less Physical and Structural Silicone Strain:
The type of silicone that the implant contains is important, especially how the inner silicone interfaces with the solid silicone shell. Motiva scientists have designed a TrueMonobloc Shell which allows the breast implant shell, patch, and inner core gel to act as a single unit. This technology increases silicone gel integration, adaptability, and fluid dynamics.
Less Capsular Contracture Inflammation:
Motiva implants have a biocompatible shell surface that is composed of a 4 micron surface known as Motiva Smoothsilk Surface. This revolutionary technology has been shown to reduce the inflammatory response to breast implants, reduce tissue-to-implant friction and structural damage, and lower bacterial attachment rates when compared to more porous surfaces. What does that mean to the average woman with Motiva implants in Los Angeles? Motiva shell design results in soft breasts, low capsular contracture rates, and no reported primary device-related proliferative diseases.
Silicone Leak Detection:
Motiva implants also contain BlueSeal Barrier Technology, which provides a visual indicator the barrier layer of the breast implant - thus allowing for better determination of implant integrity between the internal and external components of the implant. This increases patient safety and quality assurance.
If you are seeking a breast augmentation in Santa Monica or Beverly Hills, or even replacing your current Mentor, Sientra, or Allergan Natrelle implants through a breast implant revision - schedule a consultation with double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Raffy Karamanoukian. His meticulous attention to detail and expert surgical techniques offer exceptional cosmetic detail in breast augmentation.
