Breast BEFORE & AFTER Patient 198: Motiva Preservé Breast Augmentation
*Keep in mind that each patient is unique and your results may vary.

Before & After
A 29-year-old female patient underwent bilateral breast augmentation using the Motiva Preserve technique performed by Dr. Crantford in Charleston, South Carolina. Motiva ERSM 220cc implants were selected to provide a subtle, natural-looking enhancement while preserving the patient’s native breast anatomy and soft tissues. The procedure was tailored to achieve balanced proportions and an aesthetically pleasing result that complemented the patient’s frame. Photos are shown at 1 month post-op.
At just 1 month post-op, these photos capture an earlier stage of healing than most gallery cases, offering a useful look at how quickly a natural result can take shape with the tissue-preserving Preserve technique. The smaller 220cc implant size reflects this patient’s preference for a subtle, proportionate change rather than a dramatic increase in volume. Results will continue to soften and settle over the following months as any residual swelling resolves.
What is the Motiva Preserve technique?
The Motiva Preserve technique is a tissue-preserving surgical approach designed to minimize disruption to breast tissue, nerves, and blood supply during implant placement. It’s typically paired with smaller implant sizes for patients seeking a subtle, natural-looking enhancement with a gentler recovery.
What should I expect just 1 month after breast augmentation?
At 1 month, swelling has usually decreased substantially but not fully resolved, and the implants are still in the earlier stages of settling into their final position. Results at this stage give a reasonable preview of the outcome, though continued softening and shape refinement is normal through 3 to 6 months.
