[ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA SEPTEMBER 11, 2026] – The Virginia Center for Plastic Surgery is excited to announce it will now offer Preservé by Motiva® – the newest advancement in breast augmentation techniques.
Preservé by Motiva® is an advanced breast enhancement technique designed specifically to preserve a patient’s natural breast tissue functionality, including nipple sensation, and chest muscles1,2. Clinical studies show 0% inferior malposition (implant lowering) at three years, ensuring long-term satisfaction and confidence1,2.
The procedure is designed to be performed with minimal anesthesia3 for a more comfortable experience. Compared to traditional breast augmentation, this less invasive technique allows for quicker recovery.
“The Preservé by Motiva® technique is a perfect fit for our patients because it allows for natural-looking results with minimal downtime after surgery. It seamlessly fits into the busy lifestyle of our patients.” Dr. Eric Desman
Motiva SmoothSilk Ergonomix® implants are a perfect choice for Preservé procedures. These implants feature the SmoothSilk® surface, which is designed for enhanced biocompatibility to improve the body’s response to implants4 and has been scientifically shown to promote low inflammation4. The Motiva SmoothSilk Ergonomix® implants are unique to the implant market as they can adapt shape as a patient’s body changes positions, showcasing a round shape when lying down and a teardrop shape when standing up5,6,7. This allows the implant to realistically mimic the look, feel, and movement of a natural breast5,6,7.
About the Virginia Center for Plastic Surgery: The Virginia Center for Plastic Surgery has been a leader in aesthetic plastic surgery in the Washington, DC metro region under the direction of Eric Desman, M.D., since 2000.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
The Motiva SmoothSilk® Round and SmoothSilk Ergonomix® Silicone Gel Breast Implants are indicated for breast augmentation for women of at least 22 years old. Breast augmentation includes primary breast surgery to increase the breast size, as well as revision surgery to correct or improve the result of an original primary breast augmentation surgery (i.e., revision-augmentation).
Breast Implant surgery is contraindicated in women with active infection anywhere in their bodies, with existing cancer or precancer of their breast who have not received sufficient treatment for those conditions, or who are currently pregnant or nursing.
Adequate studies have not been performed to confirm the safety of breast implant surgery in women with these conditions or under these circumstances; therefore, if you have any of the conditions or circumstances listed above, breast augmentation surgery with implants should not be performed at this time. Failure to take into consideration these contraindications may increase the risks involved with breast implant surgery and have the potential to cause harm. Patients should be advised that key complications have historically been associated with silicone gel breast surgery and implantation of silicone gel breast implants including, but no limited to, capsular contracture, implant removal, reoperation, infection, and rupture. Further, breast implants are not lifetime devices and patients should visit their healthcare professional, as recommended.
