Breast BEFORE & AFTER Patient 168: Breast Augmentation with Motiva ERSD Implants
*Keep in mind that each patient is unique and your results may vary.
Before & After
Breast augmentation is one of the most personalized procedures in plastic surgery and the results depend as much on implant selection and surgical technique as they do on each patient’s individual anatomy and goals. Dr. Crantford performs breast augmentation at Crantford Costa Plastic Surgery in Charleston, South Carolina, using Motiva implants placed in a submuscular position to enhance breast volume, shape, and symmetry while maintaining a natural appearance. The before-and-after cases below represent a range of patient ages, anatomies, and implant selections, including cases where asymmetry correction and GalaFLEX soft tissue support were incorporated.
A 48-year-old female patient presented with concerns regarding breast volume and a desire for improved shape and contour while achieving a natural appearance. After a thorough consultation and evaluation, the patient elected to undergo breast augmentation at Crantford Costa Plastic Surgery in Charleston, South Carolina. Dr. Crantford placed Motiva ERSD 475cc breast implants in a submuscular position. Photos are shown at 7 weeks post-op.
Breast augmentation with 475cc Motiva ERSD implants offers a meaningful increase in volume that remains proportionate and natural-looking — particularly for patients with an established frame and tissue profile. Implant sizing is always individualized to each patient’s chest dimensions and aesthetic goals. Before-and-after photos from this procedure typically show a fuller, more balanced breast profile with smooth contour and natural projection — the result of carefully selected implant sizing combined with precise submuscular placement technique at Dr. Crantford’s Charleston, SC practice.
What makes the Motiva ERSD implant a strong choice for breast augmentation?
Motiva ERSD (Ergonomix Round Smooth Demi) implants are designed to respond to body movement and position, sitting lower on the chest to create a naturally rounded profile. Their advanced silicone gel technology closely replicates the feel and movement of natural breast tissue, making them a popular choice for patients seeking a result that looks and feels entirely their own.
Is breast augmentation a good option for patients in their late 40s?
Yes. Breast augmentation is performed across a wide range of patient ages. For patients in their 40s, Dr. Crantford evaluates existing tissue quality, breast position, and overall anatomy during the consultation to ensure the selected implant size and surgical approach will deliver the most natural, proportionate outcome for that individual patient.
What is recovery like after submuscular breast augmentation?
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.
