Motiva Breast Augmentation? Complication Rates and Satisfaction, Based on 2 Research Studies
Hello. We are U&U Plastic Surgery, last year's No. 1 clinic in Motiva breast implant use.






I'm thinking about breast augmentation,
and reviews of Motiva seem to be everywhere.
But when I actually search,
everyone only says it turned out great,
which makes it feel a little suspicious.
Honest reviews are hard to find —
are there really that many people
satisfied with Motiva breast augmentation?

This article is for those who feel that the reviews online look staged.
So we would like to show you research that surveyed people who had surgery with Motiva implants.
- Safety
- Satisfaction
We will share data examined around these two topics.
These findings are more honest and unbiased than the reviews you have seen so far, so we hope you will take a look.

Safety

First, let us introduce one study related to safety.

It was published under the title 'Complication rates after surgery with Motiva implants.'
To measure complication rates, the authors gathered and analyzed 13 studies on Motiva implants.
The 13 studies included a total of 4,784 female patients.
Of these, adverse events occurred in 5.2% of all patients.
〈 Detailed complication rates by type 〉
- Capsular contracture: 0.54%
- Hematoma: 0.54%
- Seroma: 1.08%
- Rare lymphoma (BIA-ALCL): 0 cases
What matters most is that capsular contracture — the most notorious complication of breast augmentation — occurred at just 0.54%.
With older implants, many studies often reported capsular contracture rates averaging around 15%.
In that sense, Motiva implants can be considered sufficiently safe.
Satisfaction

Most reviews on the internet cover only the first year after surgery.
It is hard for patients to know what things look like 3 or 5 years after the implants go in.
So we brought a study that followed patients for 6 years after Motiva breast augmentation.

A total of 35 people took part in this study.
They received breast augmentation with Motiva SmoothSilk implants and were followed consistently for 6 years.
Along with complications, the study assessed implant condition and patient satisfaction.
As a result, every satisfaction response was either 'very satisfied' or 'satisfied.'
Over the entire 6 years, not a single complication or adverse event was reported.

So far, we have looked at the safety and satisfaction of Motiva breast augmentation across more than 4,000 women.
For readers who are now curious about the 'price,' we attach a column on Motiva pricing.
It covers the cost in detail, along with the factors that make it up, so we hope you will read it.

For the past 2 years, we ran a Q&A on breast augmentation in an online moms' community.
We answered questions not only about complications, but also from those weighing important life stages such as childbirth and pregnancy.

Today, U&U Plastic Surgery keeps to a rule of 3 surgeries / 6 consultations per doctor per day.
Still, hoping to help those interested in breast augmentation, we share a selection of the most-asked questions from the Q&A.
