Motiva Implants in Seattle

If you’re considering breast augmentation, the implant you choose is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. Motiva implants are a newer generation of silicone breast implants known for their natural feel, natural movement, and strong safety record. For women in Seattle weighing their options, Remington Plastic Surgery offers Motiva implants as part of a personalized approach to breast augmentation.

Motiva implants received FDA approval for breast augmentation in 2024, making them the first new silicone breast implant approved in the United States in more than a decade. Here is what sets them apart and how to know if they are right for you.

What Are Motiva Implants?

Motiva implants are silicone breast implants made by Establishment Labs, used by surgeons in more than 85 countries for over 10 years, and they are approved by the FDA for breast augmentation in the United States. They are built around a micro-textured surface, called SmoothSilk, that supports biocompatibility and a low-inflammation response, which may lower the risk of certain long-term complications.

Inside, Motiva implants use a highly cohesive silicone gel that holds its shape while staying soft. Many patients say an augmented breast made with these implants moves and feels very similar to natural tissue. The manufacturing process, which is uniquely optimized for device safety, uses a technology called TrueMonobloc. This integrates the gel and the implant shell, further improving the dynamics and adaptability of the implant.

Types of Motiva Implants

Motiva offers two main implant styles. Each has a slightly different shape and feel, and your surgeon helps guide your selection based on the result you are looking to achieve.

  • SmoothSilk Ergonomix implants shift shape with your body, staying round when you lie down and taking on a natural teardrop shape when you stand. This gives an especially natural look and movement.
  • SmoothSilk Round implants keep a full, round shape in any position and add more fullness to the upper breast.

Some Motiva implants are also available with Qid, a small identification chip that allows the exact device to be identified without surgery.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Motiva Implants?

Motiva implants suit women who want to increase breast size, restore volume lost after pregnancy or weight change, or improve the balance between the breasts. Because they are silicone, they are FDA-approved for women 22 and older. You’re likely a good candidate if:

  • You are at least 22 and in good general health
  • You want more volume, improved shape, or better symmetry
  • You have realistic expectations about what surgery can achieve
  • You are a non-smoker, or are willing to stop before surgery
  • You are not pregnant or breastfeeding

During your consultation, we’ll talk through your goals and help you decide whether Motiva implants and breast augmentation are the right fit.

How Breast Augmentation With Motiva Implants Works

Breast augmentation with Motiva implants is performed in our Medicare-certified outpatient surgery suite in Kirkland, usually under general anesthesia. Most procedures take one to two hours.

Your surgeon makes a small incision, most often in the breast crease, and places the implant either behind the breast tissue or beneath the chest muscle. The right incision and placement depend on your anatomy, the implant you choose, and your goals. We focus on precision and balance to create a result that looks and feels natural. An experienced surgical team supports every procedure, with board-certified anesthesiologists providing expert care.

What to Expect After Your Breast Augmentation

Recovery is usually straightforward. Soreness, swelling, and tightness are most noticeable during the first week and ease steadily with time. Most women take about a week away from work, then return to light activity, with more strenuous exercise resuming over the following weeks.

You’ll be guided on wearing a support garment, caring for your incisions, and easing back into your routine. As swelling settles, your implants soften and drop into a more natural position over the weeks and months that follow.

Benefits of Motiva Implants

Motiva implants combine a natural look and feel with a strong safety profile, and the clinical studies supporting their FDA approval showed low rates of common complications. Benefits may include:

  • A soft feel that closely resembles natural breast tissue
  • Natural movement, especially with Ergonomix implants
  • An implant surface intended to support biocompatibility
  • A modern option backed by recent FDA approval and many years of use worldwide
  • The added reassurance of Motiva’s implant warranty program

Results are long-lasting, though implants are not considered lifetime devices and may eventually need revision.
