PRESERVE MORE. DISRUPT LESS.
A minimally invasive breast augmentation that reshapes the breast while preserving your own tissue, sensation and long-term stability — performed by Prof. Sandip Hindocha, a consultant plastic surgeon certified by Motiva in the Preservé technique.
ABOUT THE PROCEDURE
Motiva Preservé™ is a next-generation approach to breast augmentation. Rather than dividing the breast tissue and muscle to make room for an implant, the Preservé technique works with your anatomy — gently creating space while preserving the natural structure, strength and sensation of the breast.
It combines the soft, ergonomic SmoothSilk® Ergonomix2® implant with a set of purpose-built Motiva® instruments. Together they allow the implant to be placed through a smaller incision, with less disruption to the surrounding tissue — which for many patients means a more natural result and a more comfortable recovery.
Prof. Sandip Hindocha is a Motiva-certified Preservé surgeon and plans each augmentation around your individual anatomy and goals, from your first consultation through to long-term follow-up. See how Preservé compares to a traditional breast augmentation.
HOW PRESERVÉ WORKS
STEP ONE
A purpose-built Motiva® Channel Separator creates the implant pocket by parting the tissue rather than cutting through it, protecting the surrounding structures.
STEP TWO
A Motiva® Inflatable Balloon gently expands the space, encouraging your natural tissue to stretch and nest around the implant.
STEP THREE
The implant is guided into place through a Motiva® Insertion Sleeve, allowing a smaller incision and a clean, no-touch delivery.
THE IMPLANT
A soft, highly ergonomic implant designed to move and settle like natural breast tissue, completing the tissue-preserving approach.
PROCEDURE OVERVIEW
A summary of key details. Your plan is personalised at consultation.
Hospital Stay
Anaesthetic
Typical Incision
Time Off Work
Support Bra
Details are typical and confirmed at your consultation. Because Preservé is less invasive than conventional augmentation, it can often be carried out under local anaesthetic with sedation, though general anaesthesia remains an option.
RECOVERY TIMELINE
First 48 Hours
Because less tissue is disturbed, discomfort is often milder than expected. You rest, keep the area supported and begin gentle movement early.
Week 1–2
Many patients return to desk-based work within one to two weeks. Avoid heavy lifting and overhead reaching.
Weeks 2–4
Everyday activity resumes as swelling settles. Keep wearing your support bra and follow Prof. Hindocha’s guidance.
Weeks 4–6
Most patients return to full exercise, including chest workouts, from around four to six weeks, once cleared at follow-up.
RESULTS
Preservé is designed to deliver a result that feels like part of you, not simply an implant placed beneath the tissue. Most patients can expect:
WHY CHOOSE PRESERVÉ
By working around the breast rather than through it, Preservé keeps more of your natural tissue, fat and muscle intact.
The tissue-sparing approach is designed to preserve nipple and breast sensation, which conventional techniques can affect.
A smaller incision and less internal disruption often mean less bruising and a quicker return to everyday life.
Advanced Motiva® implant technology and warranty cover support a stable, lasting result.
IMPLANT TECHNOLOGY & LONGEVITY
Preservé uses Motiva’s latest implant technology, engineered for safety, natural movement and long-term integrity:
ZEN® RFID INTELLIGENCE
Every Preservé implant is uniquely identifiable through Motiva’s Zen® RFID — readable without surgery and fully compatible with all breast imaging, including MRI.
PRESERVÉ VS TRADITIONAL AUGMENTATION
TISSUE
Traditional augmentation often divides muscle and tissue to make space. Preservé parts and preserves the tissue, protecting structure and sensation.
ANAESTHETIC
Conventional augmentation is usually performed under general anaesthetic. Preservé can often be carried out under local anaesthetic with sedation.
SCAR & RECOVERY
The smaller incision and reduced disruption typically mean less downtime than a standard augmentation.
STABILITY
By preserving the natural tissue envelope, the technique is designed to support reliable, stable implant position over time.
“
I loved that I could keep so much of my own tissue. The result looks like me — just more balanced — and it feels completely natural.
“
Prof. Hindocha explained exactly how the Preservé technique worked and why it suited me. Recovery was far easier than I expected.
“
Being able to have it done without a general anaesthetic made the whole experience feel calm and straightforward.
