Natural Breast Enhancement with Tissue Preservation
Preservé™ Breast Augmentation is an innovative breast enlargement technique designed to enhance breast volume and shape while preserving the natural breast tissues and supporting structures as much as possible.
Unlike conventional breast augmentation techniques that may require more extensive tissue dissection, the Preservé™ approach uses specialized instruments to create space for the implant through a smaller incision, minimizing disruption to the surrounding tissues.
The procedure combines advanced tissue-preservation technology with Motiva SmoothSilk® Ergonomix2® breast implants, designed to provide a soft, natural-looking breast contour that complements the patient’s individual body proportions.

How Is Preservé™ Breast Augmentation Performed?
The Preservé™ technique uses a specialized approach to prepare the implant pocket above the pectoral muscle.
Through a small incision, a dedicated instrument creates a pathway for an inflatable balloon. The balloon gradually expands the surrounding tissues to form a suitable space for the implant, rather than relying on extensive cutting or dissection.
The Motiva SmoothSilk® Ergonomix2® implant is subsequently inserted using a specially designed insertion sleeve that allows controlled placement while minimizing direct handling of the implant.
By preserving the chest muscle and reducing disruption to the natural breast structures, the technique aims to achieve an aesthetically balanced result with less tissue trauma compared with conventional approaches.
What Are the Advantages of Preservé™ Breast Augmentation?
Potential advantages for appropriately selected patients include:
- Preservation of natural breast tissues: The technique is designed to minimize disruption to the existing breast tissue and supporting structures.
- Natural-looking results: Motiva Ergonomix2® implants are designed to provide softness and movement that complement the natural breast contour.
- Smaller incisions: Specialized instruments may allow implant placement through a relatively small incision.
- Preservation of the chest muscle: The implant pocket is prepared above the pectoral muscle, avoiding muscle dissection.
- Potentially more comfortable recovery: Reduced tissue disruption may contribute to a smoother recovery experience for suitable patients.
- Personalized breast enhancement: Implant selection is based on the patient’s anatomy, existing breast tissue and desired breast proportions.
Who Is a Suitable Candidate?
Preservé™ Breast Augmentation may be considered for women who wish to increase their breast volume while maintaining a natural appearance.
It may be particularly suitable for patients who:
- Prefer a subtle to moderate increase in breast size.
- Wish to improve breast fullness and projection.
- Have experienced volume changes following pregnancy, breastfeeding or weight fluctuations.
- Prefer a breast augmentation approach that aims to preserve natural tissues.
- Have sufficient anatomical characteristics to accommodate the selected implant safely.
The technique may not be suitable for every patient, particularly when significant breast sagging, major asymmetry or more extensive reshaping requires a different surgical approach.
Preservé™ Breast Augmentation with Prof. Dr. Ercan Karacaoğlu
Prof. Dr. Ercan Karacaoğlu evaluates each patient’s breast anatomy, skin quality, existing tissue volume and aesthetic expectations to determine the most appropriate breast augmentation technique.
During the consultation, the recommended implant type, size and placement are discussed according to the patient’s individual characteristics and desired outcome.
Preservé™ Breast Augmentation may be considered when a tissue-preserving approach is appropriate. Conventional breast augmentation or a combination of procedures may be recommended when these would better address the patient’s needs.
Recovery and Results
Recovery varies according to the patient’s anatomy, surgical plan and individual healing response.
Because the Preservé™ technique is designed to reduce tissue disruption, some patients may experience a more comfortable early recovery compared with more extensive surgical approaches. However, swelling, bruising, discomfort and temporary activity restrictions can still occur.
Patients receive individualized postoperative instructions and follow-up care. The final breast shape develops gradually as swelling subsides and the tissues adapt to the implants.
As with any breast implant surgery, possible complications include infection, bleeding, changes in sensation, capsular contracture, implant malposition and the potential need for future surgery. Breast implants are not lifetime devices.
A personalized consultation with Prof. Dr. Ercan Karacaoğlu is essential to determine whether Preservé™ Breast Augmentation is suitable for you.
