Motiva® breast implants, developed by Establishment Labs®, are a newer generation of silicone implants designed with safety, softness, and patients’ aesthetic preferences in mind. Unlike older breast augmentation devices, Motiva® models retain softness and fullness in the upper poles of the breasts and adapt shape as your body changes positions. This means Motiva® implants can remain rounded and youthful when lying down, and provide an elegant teardrop-shaped contour when standing up.
In the world of aesthetics, procedures like breast augmentation are more personalized and modern than ever before. Women are increasingly opting for a more natural, elegant enhancement when restoring volume and fullness in their breasts. Terms like “ballerina breast augmentation” or “yoga breasts” have also gained traction as an aesthetic ideal, referring to a more refined, athletic, and harmonious breast shape that complements a lean, toned physique. This differs from the dramatic and busty enlargements characteristic of older breast augmentation techniques.
If you’re seeking results that look natural and complementary to your body frame and lifestyle, Motiva® breast implants offered by board-certified Philadelphia plastic surgeon David Bottger, MD may be an ideal solution. In this blog, we’ll explore what sets Motiva® implants apart and why they’re becoming the implant of choice for women who want a smaller or more petite breast augmentation.
What are “Ballerina Breasts” or “Yoga Breasts”?
The concept of “ballerina breasts” refers to an aesthetic goal of natural-looking, proportionate, and softly shaped breasts that align with a lithe and athletic body type. This look prioritizes:
- A modest, elegant volume
- A teardrop silhouette with gentle slope
- Natural movement during activity
- Soft upper pole fullness (avoiding a “fake” or “stuck-on” look)
The term “yoga breasts” is similarly applied to describe a smaller, more proportionate breast enhancement that looks and feels organic (in both motion and rest) and does not impede physical function. This aesthetic is often preferred by individuals who regularly engage in yoga, dance, Pilates, or athletic training.
Are Motiva® Implants Right for Me?
Motiva® breast implants can benefit many women looking to subtly refine and enhance their breast shape, including:
- Women with an active or athletic lifestyle
- Those seeking subtle, refined enhancement
- Petite or lean body types
- Patients desiring a soft, natural feel with a modern, minimally invasive surgical approach
- Anyone looking to avoid an overtly augmented look
Motiva® offers a refreshing, modern option for patients who want to look elegant, natural, and confident. Whether you’re a dancer, yogi, athlete, or simply someone who resonates with the “ballerina breast” aesthetic, Motiva® breast implants can achieve a beautiful enhancement without impeding one’s lifestyle.
What Benefits Can Motiva® Implants Offer?
Motiva® implants are uniquely suited for patients who desire a natural, soft, and mobile breast enhancement. Benefits include:
- Reduced risk of capsular contracture: The SilkSurface® implant by Motiva offers a nanotextured surface that promotes biocompatibility and reduces risks, such as capsular contracture (hardened scar tissue formation).
- Enables natural movement: Motiva® implants respond to body movement with natural mobility. This is essential for women who practice yoga, dance, Pilates, or any athletic activity. The implant moves with your body, not against it.
- Retention of softness and shape: These implants are designed to offer a supple, realistic feel to the touch with controlled projection for a teardrop-shaped enhancement. This can be ideal for
- patients who want fullness without looking augmented.
- Behaves like natural tissue: With Ergonomix® implants by Motiva, the breast shape adjusts naturally based on a patient’s position. This avoids the stiffness or “shelf” effect seen in older implants.
For individuals seeking the refined, proportionate look associated with “ballerina breasts” or “yoga breasts,” Motiva® offers a compelling combination of sophistication and natural aesthetics. Contact Dr. Bottger today for more information or to book an appointment for breast augmentation.
