Breast augmentation is a popular procedure that boosts appearances and self-perceptions. In the realm of augmentation mammoplasty, Motiva Ergonomix and traditional implants offer different benefits. Here at Dr. Jack Peterson’s office in Topeka, Kansas, clients often ask what separates these two types of implants. We’ll delve into the primary distinctions, compare their features, and explain why the choice can hinge on personal preference, body type, and lifestyle.
Motiva Ergonomix Implants Explained
These implants, as per Dr. Jack Peterson, are the next generation of breast augmentation solutions. Designed to feel natural and move with the body, Motiva Ergonomix implants aim to deliver a look that mimics the natural fall and movement of the breast. What sets them apart are:
- Adaptive design: They mold to the natural shape of the breast tissue, minimizing rippling and wrinkling.
- SmoothSilk technology: This unique shell surface minimizes inflammation and reduces the risk of capsular contracture.
- ProgressiveGel Ultima: The filler used in these implants reacts dynamically to movements, providing a natural feel and look.
Traditional Implants Unveiled
Traditional implants include saline and silicone varieties. Saline implants are filled with sterile salt water, while silicone implants contain a silicone gel that feels similar to natural breast tissue. Key features of traditional implants include:
- Familiarity: These have been around for decades, and surgeons are very familiar with their use.
- Adjustability: Saline implants allow for adjustability of size during surgery.
- Leak detection: In the event of a rupture, saline implant leaks are immediately noticeable, as the implant deflates.
Contrasting Motiva Ergonomix Vs. Traditional Implants
The Feel and Aesthetics
Motiva Ergonomix implants are designed to mimic the feel of natural breasts. They use a gel that moves with the body, providing a natural look and feel. Traditional implants, particularly saline ones, may sometimes feel firmer.
The Safety Factor
Both types have been subjected to extensive testing. While saline implants have been used for longer, Motiva implants have a lower rate of capsular contracture due to their unique SmoothSilk technology.
Surgical Flexibility
Both types provide surgical adaptability. However, saline implants offer intraoperative adjustability. Motiva Ergonomix implants have a range of sizes but need to be chosen before surgery.
Making the Right Choice for Your Body and Lifestyle
The decision between Motiva Ergonomix and traditional implants should be a personal one, guided by your plastic surgeon’s advice. Evaluating factors like the desired shape, feel, safety, lifestyle, and recovery time will aid in making the best implant choice for your breast augmentation journey.
Understanding Your Aesthetic Goals
Consider whether a more natural look and feel is your priority. If so, Motiva Ergonomix implants might be your top choice. However, if a rounder aesthetic and more noticeable enhancement is desired, traditional implants might be preferred.
Evaluating Your Body Type
Your natural anatomy should also play a role in your choice. Some body types might be better candidates for one type of implant over the other.
Considering Your Lifestyle
Your regular activities, especially if they involve rigorous physical exercise, could impact the type of implant that’s best for you.
Ultimately, your surgeon can provide professional insights to help you weigh the pros and cons of each option. Dr. Jack Peterson assists with making this decision by offering personalized consultations tailored to individual requirements.
