Understanding what to anticipate after your breast augmentation with Motiva Implants will help ensure a smooth journey toward your desired results. Upon waking from anesthesia, you may feel groggy and experience soreness, tightness, or swelling in your chest. These sensations are normal and can be managed with prescribed pain medication.
Rest is crucial during the first few days following surgery. You’ll need to limit physical activities and avoid lifting heavy objects. We will provide specific instructions on how to care for your incisions, including cleaning protocols and the use of a supportive surgical bra to minimize swelling and support healing. The advanced design of Motiva Implants may contribute to a more comfortable recovery due to their compatibility with your natural tissue.
Most patients can return to light daily activities within a few days but should continue to avoid strenuous exercise or heavy lifting. Swelling and bruising may persist but will gradually decrease over time. The SmoothSilk™ surface of Motiva Implants is designed to promote better healing and reduce the risk of complications such as capsular contracture.
Between the second and sixth weeks after surgery, you should be able to resume normal activities gradually, following our guidance. Light exercise may be reintroduced, but any activity that strains the chest muscles should be avoided until you are fully healed. You’ll notice immediate changes in breast size and shape after surgery, but final results will develop over several weeks as swelling subsides and the Motiva Implants settle into position. Over the next three to six months, your breasts will continue to soften and take on a more natural appearance, thanks to the adaptive gel technology of Motiva Implants that allows them to move and feel like natural breast tissue. Incision lines will fade over time but may take up to a year to mature fully.
With proper care, breast augmentation results with Motiva Implants are long-lasting. These implants are designed for durability, but regular monitoring is important to ensure ongoing satisfaction and health. One of the unique features of Motiva Implants is the inclusion of Q Inside Safety Technology™, an FDA-cleared micro transponder that allows for non-invasive verification of implant information. This technology aids in monitoring implant integrity and provides peace of mind.
Maintaining a stable weight through a balanced diet and regular exercise supports the longevity of your results. Using quality skin care products and wearing appropriate support garments, especially during physical activity, can enhance skin elasticity and breast appearance.
Follow-up appointments are essential to monitor implant integrity and overall breast health. Dr. Unger will utilize Motiva Implants’ advanced features to assess their condition without invasive procedures. Complementary aesthetic treatments or non-surgical procedures may further enhance your appearance, and Dr. Unger can advise on options like scar care or skin rejuvenation techniques.
By adhering to Dr. Unger’s post-operative instructions and attending scheduled follow-ups, you can ensure optimal healing and enjoy the full benefits of your breast augmentation with Motiva Implants. Our team is here to support you throughout your recovery, providing personalized care to help you achieve the confidence and satisfaction you desire.
