What Are Motiva Breast Implants?

Motiva breast implants are advanced silicone gel implants engineered for enhanced softness, natural movement, and long-term safety. Made with progressive silicone gel and a smooth nanosurface shell, they are designed to reduce inflammation, limit tissue irritation, and integrate harmoniously with the body.

Unlike traditional textured or smooth implants, Motiva’s surface is designed to encourage gentle tissue adherence without the friction that can cause capsular contracture. They come in a variety of sizes, profiles, and gel cohesivities—including Motiva Ergonomix®, which adjusts shape depending on your movement or position. Dr. Howarth uses Motiva selectively, choosing them for patients who prioritize graceful movement and a more seamless, biologically integrated result.

What makes Motiva different from traditional implants?

Motiva implants are made with a progressive silicone gel and smooth nanosurface designed for optimal biocompatibility. They feel softer, move more naturally, and are associated with lower rates of inflammation and scarring compared to traditional textured or smooth-shelled implants.

Are Motiva implants approved in the U.S.?

Motiva implants are approved in over 80 countries and are available in the U.S. through select board-certified plastic surgeons under clinical trial or compassionate use pathways. Dr. Howarth offers Motiva implants through an FDA-cleared channel with appropriate patient education and oversight.

Who is a good candidate for Motiva implants?

Ideal candidates are women seeking subtle, natural-looking results with a soft feel and advanced safety profile. Motiva may be particularly well-suited for lean body types or women concerned about implant rigidity, animation deformity, or capsular contracture.

How long do Motiva implants last?

Motiva implants are designed with longevity in mind, but like all implants, they are not considered lifetime devices. Many patients enjoy excellent results for 10–15 years or more. Dr. Howarth will discuss implant lifespan and signs that may prompt future replacement.

What is Motiva Ergonomix®?

Motiva Ergonomix® implants are designed to adjust shape based on your body’s position—rounder when lying down, more teardrop-shaped when upright. This gives them a remarkably natural look and feel, especially in motion.

Can Motiva be combined with fat grafting or a lift?

Yes. Dr. Howarth often combines Motiva implants with fat grafting for enhanced contour or with a breast lift to improve shape and positioning. The entire surgical plan is tailored to your anatomy and preferences.

Are Motiva implants safe?

Motiva implants are made with a proprietary, smooth nanosurface shell that avoids the complications seen with textured implants. Their design helps minimize friction, reduce inflammation, and promote tissue integration. While no implant is risk-free, Motiva is considered a highly biocompatible option.
