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.

Verified through research:

Safety

First, let us introduce one study related to safety.

Motiva Breast Augmentation? Complication Rates and Satisfaction, Based on 2 Research Studies (article image 7)

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, the complication rates reported for Motiva implants in this review were low, although no implant is free of risk.

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.

Our breast surgery doctors appeared on the TV program 'Let Me In' over 10 years ago

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.
