The topic of breast augmentation has long been de-tabooed. In the meantime, breast augmentations, as they are called in technical jargon, rank second among the most frequently performed cosmetic surgeries in Austria: "The surgical procedure makes sense when women are dissatisfied with their small breasts or the breast volume should be restored after pregnancy. Surgery also makes sense in the case of an asymmetrical arrangement of the two breasts," explains Linz plastic surgeon Doz. Dr. Huemer.
However, patients who decide to have implants after consulting their doctor should definitely insist on high-quality material. Now, for the first time, there are implants that have a natural feel, adapt to the movements of the breast and guarantee maximum safety.

Filling materials: saline solution or silicone gel
Before surgery is performed, a decision must be made regarding the appropriate surgical method. If the decision is made in favor of implants, it is important to weigh up which are the most suitable for the patient. Through an implant, the surgeon compensates for the small amount of fat and breast tissue that is responsible for smaller breasts. In most patients, the implant is placed in a position where it is mostly covered by the pectoral muscle to ensure optimal coverage. There are two types of filling material used in breast implants: Saline or silicone gel. Nowadays, however, only silicone gel is used in the high-quality implants. The great advantage with this filling is the natural feeling that this gel gives when attacking the chest. The gel fillings in Motiva implants are more closely matched to natural breast tissue than any other implant available.

Innovation: Nano-surfaces for natural breast movements
As a rule, implants with a textured surface structure have a layer of the foreign substances such as salt, sugar and other particles. In contrast, Motiva's innovative NanoSurface Technology® guarantees improved biocompatibility. This means that it is produced without foreign substances. Athletic women in particular appreciate this innovation, as these implants adapt to the natural movements of the breasts. Patients who value a voluptuous décolleté receive round implants. Drop-shaped or oval implants, on the other hand, have the advantage of looking more natural.

Maximum safety: chip technology in breast implants for the first time
The PIP scandal with low-quality breast implants in particular has caused worldwide outrage and made the call for safe implants louder. Motiva is now the first manufacturer in the world to equip all its implants with a passive chip that ensures that each implant is unmistakably identifiable, even in the body. This gives the woman the security of having an absolutely high-quality implant.
"These new implants are a real revolution. For the first time, fillings are on the market that feel natural, cause no damage to the implant shell and can be better positioned through smaller incisions. In addition, the chip technology used for the first time guarantees maximum safety!" Dr. Huemer, who is the first surgeon in Austria to work with them, is convinced.
"I definitely advise all patients to use high-quality implants whose feel is very close to that of natural breasts. After all, health and well-being come first," emphasizes Doz. Dr. Georg Huemer.
