Motiva Breast Augmentation Reviews? Types, Feel, and Size Chart — All You Need to Know

Hello. I'm Dr. Kim Joo-won, Chief Director of Melon Plastic Surgery, your breast specialist here to address your breast concerns.

If you're new to breast augmentation, you've likely come across the name Motiva. Motiva is a popular implant brand, often dubbed the ‘luxury brand’ of implants, which means there are many reviews and options available.

However, even within Motiva, different heights and widths are referred to differently, such as ‘Round’ or ‘Ergonomix’. It's natural to be confused if you're hearing these terms for the first time.

‘Do implants change if the height is different?’‘They say the feel is natural, is that true in reality?’

If you're just starting to research Motiva implants, the terminology and types might feel unfamiliar. If you're interested in Motiva but are overwhelmed by the unfamiliar terms, please pay attention to this article.

Today, I'll summarize the types, feel, and size selection criteria for Motiva implants.

Motiva Breast Augmentation | Types and Characteristics of Implants

Motiva is a relatively new silicone gel implant widely used worldwide. Its natural movement, adapting to a person's actions, is considered a major advantage.

For example, when standing, the breast line naturally sags downwards, and when lying down, it spreads out to the sides like real breasts. The gel moves with the direction of gravity, allowing for a teardrop shape and soft movement.

As an implant featuring the latest technology, its smooth surface, created with nano-texture, is designed to reduce friction with breast tissue and minimize inflammation or fibrotic reactions.

Motiva can be categorized by height and size. Based on height, it can be divided into Mini, Demi, Full, and Corsé.

‘Mini’ implants have the lowest projection and are suitable for those who desire a subtle, natural-looking small volume.

‘Demi’ implants have a medium projection and are a popular choice, ideal for those who want to achieve maximum natural volume enhancement.

‘Full’ implants have a distinct projection. They create a rich and defined volume and contour.

‘Corsé’ implants have the highest projection and can be a good option if you desire a noticeable volume.

Motiva implants have closely spaced size intervals, making them effective for asymmetrical breasts. They are often used in surgeries where there is a size difference between the two breasts and precise sizing is required.

Motiva Breast Augmentation | Reasons Why Many People Choose It

‘Is the Motiva feel soft?’‘Does the feel differ by height?’

Motiva implants are characterized by a firm, elastic feel. They have a plump, hydrated feel, yet they flexibly deform with movement and naturally shift with posture. This is due to the high viscoelasticity of the gel filling the implant.

Because of these characteristics, they are highly preferred by individuals with deflated upper breasts or significant breast ptosis, as they show a clear before-and-after difference. For the same reason, their use in revision surgeries is also prominent.

Those who prioritize feel when choosing implants often select them based on whether they feel soft or firm when touched. However, the actual feel of the breast differs from the feel of touching the implant directly.

This is because after breast surgery, the implant is covered by breast tissue. Therefore, the sensation can differ from touching the implant directly, depending on skin thickness, incision location, and dissection range.

As I always say, the best implant brand is one that matches your body's conditions and suits your body line. It's best to choose an implant that fits your body, from height to shape and size, considering both your natural physique and the post-surgical image you envision.

Motiva Breast Augmentation | What are the Criteria for Choosing an Implant?

When selecting Motiva implants, we consider not only the size (cc) but also the shape, such as the base diameter and height.

For example, even with the same 300cc, a Motiva Mini has a low height and a wide base, while Demi or Corsé implants have a high height and a narrow base, creating a more projected breast line. Therefore, assuming that 300cc will transform a B-cup into a D-cup might be a premature assumption.

If the base is wide, the breasts might appear to spread out to the sides. Conversely, if the base is narrow, the center of the breasts might protrude forward, looking unnatural. Thus, it's necessary to choose an implant by considering the ratio of the implant's base and height to your body.

Clearly knowing your desired breast line is also crucial for selection. The implant can vary depending on whether naturalness is your top priority or voluminous curves are.

Your usual style and activity level can also be considered. Long-term satisfaction with your breasts is achieved when implant selection takes into account your body type and lifestyle.

Motiva Breast Augmentation | The Most Important Factor in Implant Selection is ‘You’

Implants continue to evolve and improve because each person's body type and conditions are different. Therefore, what needs to be considered first, even before the implant's conditions like shape, gel, feel, and height, is ‘you’ – your body type and your conditions.

By meticulously considering your physical conditions, including chest size, skin thickness, breast pocket size, nipple position, symmetry, and even spinal shape, you can gauge which implant height and size will suit your body.

If you choose by considering weight changes, exercise habits, and plans for pregnancy and breastfeeding, you can even expect beautiful breasts 10 years down the line.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of Motiva implants are there?

Motiva implants can be divided into Mini, Demi, Full, and Corsé, depending on their projection height. Mini has the lowest projection, and Corsé has the highest, allowing you to choose according to your desired volume and line.

What is the feel of Motiva implants like?

Motiva implants have a firm, resilient feel, as if they are filled with elasticity. The gel that fills the implant has high viscoelasticity, allowing it to flexibly deform with movement and move naturally with changes in posture.

What is the most important criterion when choosing Motiva implants?

The most important factor when choosing an implant is 'your' body type and conditions. You should carefully consider your physical conditions such as chest size, skin thickness, breast pocket size, nipple position, and left-right symmetry to select an implant with a height and size that suits your body.

Can Motiva implants of the same CC have different shapes?

Yes, they can. Even with the same 300cc, Motiva Mini has a low height and wide base, while Demi or Corsé have a high height and narrow base, creating a more projected line. Therefore, in addition to CC, you should also consider the base diameter and height.

What are the advantages of Motiva implants?

Motiva's biggest advantage is its natural shape that moves with a person's actions. When standing, the breast line sags downwards, and when lying down, the gel spreads to the sides like real breasts, moving with gravity to achieve a natural shape and soft movement.

Is the actual feel after breast augmentation the same as when touching the implant directly?

No, it can be different. After breast surgery, the implant is covered by breast tissue, so the feel can be different from touching the implant directly, depending on skin thickness, incision location, and dissection range.
