What Is Preservé?
Preservé is a less invasive breast augmentation technique built around the principle of tissue preservation. Instead of relying on traditional cutting and dissection to create space for the implant, Preservé uses specialized technologies to gently shape the breast while preserving its natural anatomy, supporting structures, and function.
The technique is developed by Motiva, an internationally respected pioneer in breast implant innovation. By combining advanced implants with proprietary tools and a refined surgical approach, Preservé offers a more anatomically respectful path to enhancement. The result is a breast that not only looks beautiful but also retains the integrity of its natural shape, support, and sensation.
How Preservé Works
The Preservé approach is based on a tissue preservation philosophy. Rather than aggressively dissecting the breast tissue, the surgeon creates the implant pocket through a controlled, atraumatic process that gently moves the tissues aside instead of cutting through them.
The process generally involves three key steps:
- A small, precise incision allows access through a minimally invasive entry point.
- Controlled tissue separation is performed gently to protect the breast’s supporting structures.
- Implant placement using a no-touch technique that ensures sterility, precision, and minimal handling of the implant during insertion.
The result is a breast pocket designed to support the implant naturally, working with the existing anatomy rather than disrupting it.
The Implant Behind Preservé
Preservé is performed using the SmoothSilk Ergonomix2 implant, considered one of the most advanced breast implants available today. It is designed to mimic the look, feel, and movement of a natural breast, adapting its shape gracefully as the body changes position.
Key qualities of this implant include:
- A soft, refined surface designed to reduce inflammatory response.
- A highly cohesive, responsive gel that moves naturally with the body.
- A unified internal structure that allows for smaller incisions and natural movement.
This combination delivers a refined aesthetic outcome with a soft, lifelike feel that women across the world increasingly prefer.
The Benefits of Preservé
Preservé brings together several advantages that set it apart from conventional approaches to breast augmentation:
- Tissue preservation: Designed to respect the breast’s natural shape and supportive structures.
- Discreet scarring: Smaller, more refined incisions for a more inconspicuous result.
- A natural appearance: Soft, balanced shape that adapts beautifully with the body’s movement.
- Comfortable recovery: Reduced post-operative discomfort and a quicker return to daily life compared to conventional augmentation.
- Above-muscle placement: Allows the pectoralis muscle to retain its function and helps avoid certain complications associated with sub-muscular placement.
- Long-term peace of mind: Includes Motiva’s Always Confident Warranty for added reassurance.
Who Is the Ideal Candidate?
Preservé is suitable for women seeking a natural breast enhancement while preserving the integrity of their existing breast tissue. Ideal candidates typically share several characteristics:
- Adequate soft tissue coverage for above-muscle implant placement.
- A desire for a natural-looking, refined aesthetic result.
- A stable body composition without major weight fluctuations or immediate pregnancy plans.
- Realistic expectations about how skin quality and tissue elasticity influence the result.
- A preference for long-term preservation of breast structure, function, and sensation.
Preservé may also be considered for women with specific aesthetic concerns such as mild breast asymmetry, low natural volume, or early changes in shape. During your consultation at Lucia Clinic, our surgeons will determine whether Preservé is the most suitable option for your goals.
Preservé Surgical Options
Preservé can be tailored to several breast enhancement needs, including:
- Primary augmentation for women seeking increased volume and improved shape.
- Mastopexy augmentation for women who want to add volume while also addressing mild sagging.
- Hybrid augmentation, which combines implants with a small amount of fat transfer for an especially natural finish.
Each option is personalized to the patient’s anatomy and goals, delivered with the precision and artistry that define Lucia Clinic’s plastic surgery standards.
Safety and Recovery
Preservé is designed to support a smoother, more comfortable recovery. Because the technique minimizes trauma to the surrounding tissue, many patients experience less swelling, reduced discomfort, and a faster return to normal activities compared to conventional methods.
That said, as with any surgical procedure, individual recovery times vary depending on lifestyle, body type, and overall health. Our medical team will provide a personalized post-op plan, including guidance on movement, garment use, and follow-ups to support the best possible outcome.

Complementing Preservé With Other Treatments at Lucia Clinic
While Preservé delivers refined, natural breast augmentation results, many patients choose to enhance their overall outcome by combining their surgery with other treatments at Lucia Clinic. Whether you are preparing your body for surgery, supporting your recovery, or refining your entire silhouette, our experienced team can help you build a complete and personalized plan.
For women who wish to address sagging alongside enhancement, a breast lift may be considered as part of a tailored treatment plan. This is especially relevant for patients who have experienced changes in breast position due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, or aging.
Patients who want a softer, more natural enhancement with minimal implant size may also explore the option of fat transfer breast augmentation. When combined with Preservé in a hybrid approach, fat transfer can refine cleavage and add subtle volume in areas where it is most desired.
To complete the full transformation of the body, many patients choose to combine their Preservé procedure with liposuction in Dubai for refined contouring of the abdomen, flanks, or thighs. This is a popular approach for women seeking a more harmonious overall silhouette.
For mothers who want to restore their pre-pregnancy body in one comprehensive plan, Preservé can also be incorporated into a mommy makeover, often alongside a tummy tuck and targeted body contouring procedures.
Finally, to ensure realistic expectations and confident decision-making, every Preservé candidate at Lucia Clinic can benefit from Crisalix 3D Imaging, which allows patients to visualize their potential results before committing to surgery.
For patients who want to deepen their understanding of breast health and post-operative wellbeing, a useful general reference is the American Cancer Society’s guide to breast self-awareness. Staying informed about breast health is always part of a thoughtful, long-term approach to aesthetic care.
