We are pleased to share news for women across Naples who are researching premium breast augmentation. Dr. Andrew Bonett has completed certification training in the Motiva Preservé method, a minimally invasive approach that is now offered at Naples Plastic Surgery. Preservé pairs advanced Motiva implants with specialized surgical tools and a tissue-preserving technique, giving Southwest Florida patients a modern option focused on a natural look and feel. If you have been considering augmentation but want the gentlest possible approach, here is what makes this method different, who it suits, and why a surgeon’s certification matters.

Dr. Bonett Is Now Certified in the Motiva Preservé Method

The headline is simple. Dr. Bonett is now trained and certified in the Preservé technique, and Naples Plastic Surgery is proud to offer it to patients across Southwest Florida. Dr. Bonett is double board-certified in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and in General Surgery, and he serves as an Aesthetic Surgery Partner and Director of Clinical Excellence at our practice. Certification matters more than it may seem because Preservé is not an implant you simply choose off a shelf. It is a specialized system of instruments and no-touch steps that a surgeon must be formally trained to perform, so choosing a certified surgeon means your procedure follows the method exactly as it was designed, which protects both your safety and your result. You can read more about Dr. Bonett’s training here.

What Is the Motiva Preservé Method?

The Motiva Preservé method is a minimally invasive breast augmentation technique designed to preservé your natural breast tissue, sensation, and structure while using Motiva implants for a natural look and feel. Rather than the wider dissection used in some traditional approaches, Preservé combines specialized tools with Motiva SmoothSilk® Ergonomix2® implants to place the implant with as little disruption to the surrounding tissue and nerves as possible. The implants are central to the outcome. Ergonomix2® implants are designed to move and settle with your body, so the breast looks and feels natural whether you are standing, lying down, or in motion. If you would like to compare your options, our breast augmentation page walks through them in more detail.

How Preservé Is Different from Traditional Breast Augmentation

Traditional breast augmentation can involve more tissue disruption to create the pocket for the implant. Preservé takes the opposite approach, focusing on tissue preservation, smaller incisions, and reduced trauma. In practice, that difference is designed to translate into a faster recovery, a lower chance of complications, and a result that looks and moves naturally.

Inside the Preservé Technique

Every procedure is tailored to the individual, but the Preservé method generally follows a clear sequence:

1. Preoperative planning: Dr. Bonett takes precise measurements to tailor the procedure to your anatomy and to maximize preservation of your natural breast tissue.
2. Incision and access: A small incision, typically 2.5 to 3.5 cm, is placed in the fold beneath the breast, and a Motiva Channel Separator creates a tunnel without cutting through tissue, which minimizes trauma.
3. Tissue expansion: A Motiva inflatable balloon gently displaces tissue to form the implant pocket, helping preservé structural support and nipple sensation.
4. Implant placement: The implant is placed using a no-touch technique, often with a Keller Funnel, into a plane above the chest muscle, which can reduce discomfort and preservé muscle function.

The Benefits of the Preservé Method

For the right patient, the advantages of this approach are meaningful:

• Natural appearance and movement: Ergonomix2® implants adapt to your body position to mimic a natural breast shape.
• Tissue preservation: The technique is designed to maintain breast structure, sensation, and function.
• Minimized scarring: Smaller incisions mean less visible scarring and support faster healing.
• Lower complication rates: Clinical studies of the method report low rates of implant malposition and inflammation.
• Quicker recovery: A less invasive technique can allow a faster return to normal activities.
• Built-in support: Preservé includes a patient support program for the rare event of a device-related complication or an undesired outcome.

Who Is a Good Candidate for the Preservé Method?

The Preservé method tends to be a strong fit if you:

• Want subtle enhancement or an increase of about one to two cup sizes
• Would like to preserve nipple sensation and chest muscle function
• Have enough natural tissue for implant placement above the muscle
• Prefer a minimally invasive approach with reduced scarring and a faster recovery

The only way to know for certain is an in-person evaluation, which is exactly what a consultation is for.

Important Considerations

As with any surgery, Preservé is not right for everyone. Breast augmentation with implants is not recommended for women with active infections, untreated breast cancer or precancer, or those who are pregnant or nursing. It is also important to understand that implants are not lifetime devices and may require monitoring or replacement over time. Reviewing the FDA’s guidance on what to consider before getting breast implants alongside a conversation with your surgeon will help you make a fully informed decision.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Motiva Preservé method?

The Motiva Preservé method is a minimally invasive breast augmentation technique that preserves natural breast tissue, sensation, and structure while using Motiva SmoothSilk® Ergonomix2® implants. It relies on smaller incisions and specialized tools to place the implant with minimal disruption, which supports a natural look and feel.

How is Preservé different from traditional breast augmentation?

Traditional augmentation can involve more tissue disruption to create the implant pocket, while Preservé focuses on tissue preservation, smaller incisions, and reduced trauma. That gentler approach is designed to support a faster recovery, less scarring, and a more natural result.

Why does surgeon certification matter for the Preservé method?

Preservé is a specialized system of instruments and no-touch steps, not an implant you simply select. A certified surgeon has been formally trained to perform the technique as designed, which helps protect your safety and outcome. Dr. Bonett has completed this certification training.

Good candidates usually want subtle enhancement of about one to two cup sizes, wish to preserve nipple sensation and muscle function, and have enough natural tissue for placement above the muscle. A consultation at Naples Plastic Surgery is the only way to confirm whether it is right for you.
