A Precision Approach to Breast Augmentation at Worcester Plastic Surgery

Dr. Joanna H. Ng-Glazier, MD, FACS, is a double board-certified plastic surgeon with fellowship training at Massachusetts General Hospital and a residency at UPMC, one of the nation's leading plastic surgery programs. Recognized as a Castle Connolly and Boston Magazine Top Doctor, Dr. Ng-Glazier offers Motiva Preservé breast augmentation in Worcester because it reflects her philosophy: anatomy-driven, natural-looking results built to last.

What Is Motiva Preservé Breast Augmentation?

Motiva Preservé is a less invasive breast augmentation technique that uses two specialized instruments, the Motiva Channel Separator and the Motiva Inflatable Balloon, to create a precise implant pocket without cutting through breast tissue.

The Channel Separator forms a tunnel through the tissue. The Inflatable Balloon then gently displaces the surrounding structures to create a pocket sized specifically to your implant. Nothing is divided. Natural tissue function stays intact.

Preservé uses Motiva SmoothSilk Ergonomix implants, which shift shape dynamically, round when lying down, teardrop-shaped when standing, to realistically mimic the movement of natural breast tissue.

FAQ: Motiva Preservé Breast Augmentation

Are Motiva implants FDA-approved?

Motiva SmoothSilk Round implants are FDA-approved for breast augmentation in women 22 and older. The Channel Separator and Inflatable Balloon used in the Preservé technique are FDA-registered devices and may be used alongside FDA-approved implants.

Can Preservé be used for breast revision surgery?

Preservé is designed primarily for primary breast augmentation, meaning patients who have not had implants before. If you are considering revision surgery, Dr. Ng-Glazier will evaluate your anatomy and previous procedure to determine the most appropriate approach.

Will I have visible scarring after Preservé?

The incision is made in the inframammary fold, the natural crease beneath the breast, where scarring is well-concealed. Most patients find that the scar fades significantly over time and is not visible in clothing or swimwear.

Does Preservé affect the ability to breastfeed?

Because the technique is designed to preserve natural breast tissue and avoid disrupting the nipple-areola complex, it is considered less likely to interfere with breastfeeding than some traditional approaches. You should discuss your plans and concerns with Dr. Ng-Glazier directly during your consultation.

How long do Motiva implants last?

Breast implants are not lifetime devices, and the longevity of any implant depends on individual factors, including anatomy, activity level, and how the body responds over time. Dr. Ng-Glazier will discuss long-term monitoring expectations and what follow-up care looks like at your consultation.

What implant sizes are available with Preservé?

Motiva SmoothSilk Ergonomix implants are available in a range of projections — Mini, Demi, and Full — to suit different body types and aesthetic goals. Dr. Ng-Glazier selects size and projection based on your measurements and the look you want to achieve.

Is general anesthesia required for the Preservé procedure?

The Preservé technique is designed to be performed with minimal anesthesia compared to traditional breast augmentation. The specific anesthesia approach will be discussed with you during your pre-operative planning based on your comfort and the scope of your procedure.
