Breast BEFORE & AFTER Patient 169: Breast Augmentation with Motiva ERSD Implants
*Keep in mind that each patient is unique and your results may vary.
Before & After
A 39-year-old female patient presented with concerns regarding breast volume, symmetry, and overall contour. 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 RSF 400cc breast implants in a submuscular position. Photos are shown at 1 year post-op.
One-year post-operative photos offer a particularly valuable benchmark for breast augmentation results, as they reflect the breast’s fully settled shape after all swelling has resolved and the implants have settled into their final position. Augmentation with 400cc Motiva RSF implants provides a proportionate increase in volume, resulting in natural-looking and naturally moving results. Patients who come to Dr. Crantford at his Charleston, SC practice frequently describe wanting a result that looks like a natural version of themselves — and year-one photos are often where that outcome is most clearly reflected.
What do breast augmentation results look like at one year post-op?
By one year, all swelling has resolved and the implants have fully settled into their long-term position. The breast sits more naturally on the chest, the skin has adapted to the new volume, and any early firmness or tightness has fully resolved. One-year results are considered representative of long-term outcomes for most patients.
Why choose 400cc implants for breast augmentation?
400cc implants offer a substantial increase in volume while remaining within a range that tends to produce balanced, proportionate results for a broad range of patients. As with all implant sizing decisions, Dr. Crantford evaluates each patient’s chest width, tissue thickness, and aesthetic goals to determine whether 400cc or a neighboring size best complements their individual frame.
How long do Motiva RSF breast implants last?
Motiva implants are not considered lifetime devices, but they are designed for long-term durability. There is no set replacement schedule — implants are typically replaced only if a patient experiences a complication, desires a size change, or if changes in the breast warrant surgical revision. Many patients go a decade or more without requiring any intervention.
