Before & After
Patient 166: Breast Augmentation with Motiva Implants
Patient 166: Breast Augmentation with Motiva Implants
A 29-year-old female patient presented with concerns regarding the size of her breasts and a desire for improved volume. After a thorough consultation and evaluation, the patient elected to undergo breast augmentation. The procedure was performed by Dr. Crantford in Charleston, South Carolina, using 300cc Motiva implants, which were placed in a submuscular position. Photos are shown at 8 weeks post-op.
Breast augmentation with submuscular Motiva implants offers a natural, proportionate approach to increasing breast volume — with implant sizing selected to complement each patient’s frame and deliver results that feel as natural as they look. Patients who come to Dr. Crantford at Crantford Costa Plastic Surgery in Charleston, SC often describe wanting a meaningful improvement in volume while still achieving an outcome that looks entirely their own. Before-and-after photos from this procedure typically show a fuller, more balanced breast profile with smooth contour and natural projection — reflecting the combination of carefully chosen implant sizing and precise submuscular placement technique.
What makes 300cc implants a good choice for natural-looking augmentation?
300cc implants offer a meaningful increase in breast volume while remaining within a size range that tends to produce proportionate, natural-looking results for many patients. Implant sizing is never one-size-fits-all — Dr. Crantford evaluates each patient’s chest dimensions, existing tissue, and aesthetic goals to determine whether 300cc or a different size best suits their individual frame and desired outcome.
What are the advantages of Motiva implants for breast augmentation?
Motiva implants are designed with advanced silicone gel technology that closely replicates the feel and movement of natural breast tissue. Their low reported complication rates and durable construction make them a trusted choice for patients prioritizing both aesthetic quality and long-term implant health.
Why is submuscular placement commonly recommended?
Submuscular placement positions the implant beneath the chest muscle, providing an additional layer of soft tissue coverage that helps create a smoother, more natural-looking contour. This placement is particularly beneficial for patients with less existing breast tissue, as the muscle coverage reduces the likelihood of visible implant edges and creates a more seamless result.
What is recovery like after submuscular breast augmentation with Motiva implants?
Most patients return to light daily activity within a few days and resume desk work within one week. Some initial chest tightness is normal with submuscular placement as the muscle adjusts — this typically resolves within the first few weeks. Strenuous activity and heavy lifting are restricted for 4–6 weeks, and a supportive surgical bra is worn during early recovery to protect implant positioning and support comfort throughout healing.
