Why Choose Motiva® Breast Implants?

Motiva® breast implants stand out due to their unparalleled, exceptional safety features, advanced technology, innovative design, and unique features, focusing on achieving the feel, movement, and appearance similar to natural breast tissue. The reasons why so many individuals choose Motiva® breast implants include:

The Natural Look and Feel of the Implant:
- Motiva® breast implants are known for their soft, natural feel and are stretchable and compressible, enabling them to closely mimic the look, feel, and movement of natural breast tissue.
- The unique ProgressiveGel® is a 6th-generation, highly cohesive, viscoelastic silicone gel that provides a natural, soft feel and cohesive shape retention, resulting in fewer folds, less friction, and an unprecedentedly low rupture rate.
- The revolutionary SmoothSilk® 4-micron, nano-textured surface of the outer shell that encases the gel filling is so unique that it was given its own category by the FDA: “4-micron”, behaving like a traditional smooth surface.
- The unique TrueMonobloc® shell, created by next-generation gel-bonding technology, unifies the implant’s shell, gel, and patch into one single, cohesive unit. By integrating all components of the implant into a single structure, implant flexibility and strength are enhanced, enabling natural movement, improved durability with a less than 1% rupture rate, and easier implant placement.
- The TrueMonobloc® shell with the SmoothSilk® 4-micron surface and advanced ProgressiveGel® silicone-gel filling forms one cohesive unit, making the implant feel like one entity, unlike traditional breast implants. The difference between the silky-feeling Motiva® implant and a traditional breast implant is immediately recognizable. Together, Motiva®’s technological features create a more natural contour, ensuring that the patient’s results feel as good as they look.
The Body’s Reaction to the Implant:
- The revolutionary SmoothSilk® 4-micron, nano-textured surface – so unique that it was given its own category by the FDA – is designed for enhanced biocompatibility and optimized immune response of the body, improving tissue integration and promoting a low inflammatory response, low bacterial attachment, and low friction. These factors consequently produce a softer capsule (the collagen-based scar tissue that forms around every breast implant as a normal part of the body’s healing process) and greatly reduce the risk of capsular contracture to an impressively low 0.5% rate on average (capsular contracture being when the scar tissue that naturally forms around the implant tightens and becomes unusually hard).
  - Together, they create breast implants that provide a gentle interface with surrounding tissue, feel soft and natural, adapt well to body movements, support a safer healing process, and prioritize long-term comfort and safety.
- The unique BluSeal® visual indicator of the barrier layer confirms that the implant shell is intact before surgery and that the integrity of the internal and external implant components is assured, ensuring quality assurance and patient safety.
- An optional RFID micro-transponder can be embedded in the implant, a technological innovation enabling non-invasive verification of the implant.

Redefining Natural Movement and Aesthetic Choice

An extraordinary key innovation of Motiva® implants is their ergonomic design, which adapts to body movements, mimicking the natural drape of breast tissue. Motiva® implants combine the SmoothSilk® 4-micron, nano-textured surface, TrueMonobloc® shell, BluSeal® visual indicator, and ProgressiveGel® — and they are available in two shapes:

Motiva® SmoothSilk® Ergonomix® Implant for a Teardrop Shape:

The Ergonomix® implant is the first breast implant in the world that embodies the science of ergonomics. For patients seeking a dynamic, responsive breast implant that is especially soft and mimics the look, feel, and movement of a natural breast, the Ergonomix® implant is a game-changer. The Ergonomix® implant is unique to the implant market because its shape adapts as the body changes position, creating a round shape when lying down and creating a beautiful teardrop shape when standing up or moving side to side, moving like real breast tissue. These implants, filled with ProgressiveGel® ULTIMA®, provide a natural feel and adapt to the individual’s natural movements, creating a realistic look whether active or at rest. The Ergonomix® design is ideal for those seeking a breast implant that offers a natural look in all positions, allowing the implants to respond to body motions while maintaining a stable shape and soft, cohesive texture.

Motiva® SmoothSilk® Round Implant:

While the Ergonomix® implant delivers a more natural, less augmented appearance, the Round implant – filled with ProgressiveGel® PLUS® – enables greater firmness while distributing volume equally throughout the implant, maintaining fullness at the top of the breast and creating a fuller, firmer, rounded, natural appearance. This advanced silicone gel provides the ideal balance of a soft, natural feel with enhanced shape retention, creating a fuller appearance, increased upper-pole fullness and softness, and long-lasting projection for a stunning, contoured, aesthetic result.

Tailored Sizes and Profiles

Both types of implants are offered in multiple sizes and three distinct profiles, allowing for a tailored approach to breast enhancement to achieve the aesthetic goals of each individual patient. Each profile provides a different degree of projection, influencing how much the implant extends outward from the chest. These options allow customization to match body proportions and desired aesthetics, giving flexibility for a natural or more accentuated look based on individual preferences.

Mini – Offers minimal fullness with the lowest projection for a more subtle, natural look.
Demi – Provides mid-level fullness with moderate projection for a balanced, natural enhancement with noticeable fullness.
Full – Delivers maximum fullness with moderate-high projection, ideal for patients desiring a noticeable, natural contour and a more enhanced appearance.

She’s absolutely wonderful.

I’m a huge advocate for women doing exactly what they want to make themselves feel good, and for me, that’s been investing in injectables as I’ve aged… The results are just totally amazing. I look younger now than I did a decade ago… @drkristyhamilton has done all my injections.

Dr. Hamilton is hands down the best plastic surgeon in Houston.

She does exactly what you want, listens, and never pressures you to do more than you are ready to do.

My skin is soft and silky smooth, youthful, beautifully radiant

Dr. Hamilton’s laser skin resurfacing procedure is outstanding, giving me lustrous, outstanding skin quality.

Highly recommend Dr. Hamilton for any cosmetic services!

Had a wonderful experience seeing Dr. Kristy Hamilton for a PRP hair rejuvenation treatment. The nurses and front office staff were very friendly and prompt. The appointment required approximately 10-15 min. to draw blood to prepare the treatment and there were multiple options (e.g., numbing, nitrous oxide gas, etc) to alleviate any discomfort or nerves.

What Sets Motiva® Breast Implants Apart?

As the first practice in Houston, Texas and one of the first surgeons in the USA to perform breast surgery with Motiva® breast implants, Dr. Hamilton is at the forefront of innovation in breast augmentation. Motiva®’s state-of-the-art, leading-edge technology ensures long-lasting results while prioritizing patient comfort, safety, and well-being—and a stunning optimization of the shape and silhouette of the body.

Ideal for Subfascial Placement

Motiva® implants are uniquely designed for optimal placement in the subfascial plane, where the implant is positioned beneath the fascia, a thin layer of connective tissue covering the pectoral (chest) muscle. This placement offers the best of both worlds – allowing for a more natural slope to the breast while providing enhanced stability and support, thereby reducing the risk of implant movement or rotation and minimizing rippling. For patients with thinner tissue, the subfascial placement can offer additional coverage, resulting in a smoother, more aesthetically pleasing outcome. Because Motiva® implants can be placed subfascially rather than under the pectoral muscle, interfering less with the anatomy, this technique enables a faster recovery rate.

Well-suited for Prepectoral Placement

This technique situates the Motiva® implant above the chest muscle, directly under the breast tissue, creating a natural look, more comfort, and a faster recovery time because the chest muscle is not cut. The prepectoral approach leverages Motiva®’s ergonomic design for a soft, natural appearance and minimizes invasiveness, leaving the pectoral muscle undisturbed. Prepectoral placement with Motiva® implants minimizes rippling and also animation deformity (visible implant movement with contraction of the pectoral muscle) seen in submuscular placement with traditional implants, due to Motiva®’s advanced gel-shell technology that creates one cohesive unit.

Pairs well with Preservation Breast Augmentation

This technique is a type of breast augmentation with the goal of increasing breast volume while preserving breast tissue and ligaments, and placing the implants over the pectoral muscle. The approach focuses on maintaining the natural anatomy and structural integrity of the breast while enhancing its appearance – it minimizes disruption to tissues, particularly the pectoral muscle, enabling the breast to look and feel more natural, even with implants. Motiva® implants, with their SmoothSilk® surface and ergonomic ProgressiveGel® technology, are particularly well-suited for this technique, as they mimic the natural movement and contour of breast tissue. This method is ideal for patients who desire a natural aesthetic with minimal dissection, supporting a smoother, quicker recovery and long-lasting results.

Minimal Incision Lines / Minimal Invasiveness

Dr. Hamilton already makes a very tiny incision line (only 1 inch long on average) inconspicuously concealed in the breast fold when she performs traditional breast augmentation surgery. Because of the unique composition of Motiva® implants, Dr. Hamilton can insert them using a smaller incision than traditional implants, leading to a tinier incision line (which becomes imperceptible) when inserting Motiva® implants and also a quicker recovery time, making them a highly favored, customizable, and innovative choice for breast-enhancement surgery. This is especially beneficial for patients seeking a minimally invasive approach to breast augmentation.

Ideal for use with an Internal Bra

An internal bra is a supportive, soft-tissue framework created within the breast during surgery. Motiva® implants are ideal for use with an internal bra, providing additional stability, enhanced shape and contour, and longevity to the implants, due to their advanced design features that emphasize natural movement, stability, and integration with surrounding tissues. The combination of ProgressiveGel® technology and the SmoothSilk® nano-textured shell allows the implant to respond naturally to body movement while minimizing the risk of capsular contracture. When used with an internal bra, these qualities enhance implant stability and positioning, offering long-term support without compromising softness or comfort. The internal bra framework complements the durability and flexibility of Motiva® implants, creating an outcome that maintains aesthetic shape.

Comprehensive Warranty Program

Patients can feel confident with Motiva®’s extensive warranty program, offering added peace-of-mind for years to come. This commitment to patient satisfaction is one of the many reasons why Motiva® is a trusted name in breast augmentation worldwide.

What Is the Benefit of Breast Surgery Using a Subfascial Approach?

Motiva® implants enable Dr. Hamilton to do breast surgery with an innovative, pre-pectoral, sub-fascial approach – meaning underneath the fascia and in front of the muscle for a natural, elegant breast augmentation that is much less invasive than traditional breast surgery. Dr. Hamilton’s subfascial approach avoids placing the implant using either a submuscular approach (under the pectoral or chest muscle) or a dual-plane approach (where the implant is partially placed under the pectoral muscle and partially under the breast tissue). This methodology, placing Motiva® breast implants subfascially, creates multiple benefits, such as:

Enabling a quicker recovery by interfering less with the anatomy, placing the implant under the fascia near the surface of breast skin rather than deeper inside the breast over or under the pectoral muscle.
Offering thin women with little breast tissue the ability to augment their breasts without visible rippling (due to the implant’s special gel-to-shell technology that creates one cohesive unit) – and without a “stuck-on” appearance.
Avoiding Animation Deformity (AD), the dynamic distortion that occurs when an implant visibly moves unnaturally as the pectoral muscle contracts. Because the Motiva® implant is placed subfascially, it does not interact with the pectoral muscle, fitting beautifully with a woman’s active lifestyle. Women feel free to swim, do aerobics, lift weights, and do yoga – all the while feeling confident that their breasts and body will move in a natural manner.

Can Motiva® Implants Create Ballerina Breasts?

Ballerina Breasts describe a natural, elegant breast shape with a soft, subtle contour and a gentle profile – a small-breast augmentation inspired by the aesthetic qualities inspired by a ballerina’s graceful movements – natural, graceful, fluid, and poised. Both SmoothSilk® Round implants and Ergonomix® implants create ballerina breasts, either round-shaped or teardrop-shaped ballerina breasts, respectively. In particular, Ergonomix® implants are known to create a teardrop-shaped ballerina-breast effect, characterized by a soft, natural-looking shape with a gentle teardrop form that adjusts with body movement. This effect is due to the combination of the proprietary ProgressiveGel® ULTIMA® and the SmoothSilk® nano-textured surface, enabling the implant to respond fluidly to changes in posture, similar to the graceful movement of a ballerina. Ergonomix® implants are designed to achieve this aesthetic by adapting with body movement, mimicking the soft silhouette that shifts when lying down to a rounder shape when lying down and a teardrop shape when upright, enhancing the ballerina effect.

What Other Surgery Can Be Combined With Motiva® Breast Surgery?

Dr. Hamilton can effectively combine Motiva® breast enhancement surgery with other surgical and non-surgical procedures to achieve balanced body contouring and facial rejuvenation. Fat transfer offers natural results because it uses the patient’s own tissue, and it has the added benefit of contouring the donor area. These combinations are designed to achieve a cohesive, well-proportioned look across different areas. Procedures usually combined with breast enhancement surgery include:

Fat Transfer to the Face and/or Body: Harvesting the patient’s own autologous fat from one area of the body (such as the abdomen, thighs, flanks, or area under the chin) via liposuction to inject into another area of the face and/or body to enhance volume and shape. This technique is usually used for:
- Breast Augmentation: For a subtle increase in breast size, improved contour, further softening of aesthetic lines, and optimized cleavage.
- Facial and Hand Rejuvenation: Adding volume to areas such as the cheeks, temples, jawline, under-eyes, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, earlobes, and hands to restore a youthful look.
- Buttock Augmentation (Brazilian Butt Lift or BBL): Adding volume and shaping the buttocks for a fuller, smoother, more contoured appearance.
- Body Contouring: Enhancing areas such as the hips or calves for improved symmetry and balance.
Liposuction: Performed on targeted areas of the face and body (including the abdomen, flanks, thighs, and the area under the chin), liposuction contours the face and body for an overall refined shape and silhouette.
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty): For patients desiring a more comprehensive body transformation, a tummy tuck can be combined with breast enhancement surgery to tighten abdominal muscles and remove excess fat and skin, creating a smooth, toned midsection and flat abdomen.
Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL): Fat removed via liposuction can be injected into the buttocks to enhance shape and volume, complementing the breast enhancement results to create harmony, proportion, and balance.
Body Lift Procedures: For patients with significant skin laxity, a body lift can address multiple areas (such as the arms, thighs, or back) along with the breast area, especially after weight loss.
Facial Procedures: Some patients choose facial rejuvenation procedures, such as a facelift or neck lift, to harmonize enhancements to both body and face.
Non-surgical Face-and-Neck Optimization using CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing and/or Injectable Treatments such as neuromodulators (BOTOX® or Dysport®), biostimulators, and dermal fillers: To rejuvenate the face and neck, erasing lines and wrinkles and creating smooth, youthful, radiant skin with even tone and texture, harmony, proportion, and symmetry.
