Some people still find it hard to believe. A breast augmentation without general anesthesia, going home the same day and resuming normal life within 24 hours? I already discussed this in detail in an article. Preserve technique (I encourage you to read it). Focusing on the results, I’ll show you 4 cases with before and after photos from our clinic.

#1 Painless breast augmentation with the Preserve technique

This first case is surprising.

Young woman of 25 years. Slim. 170 cm. Comes for correction the size of her breasts, something that has conditioned her for long time. In the way she dresses, in her confidence… She has postponed the operation for fear of general anesthesia and pain.

He suffers from what is known as developmental hypoplasia. The mammary gland does not grow or grows very little during adolescence and breasts end up being small. The examination also reveals a slight asymmetry between both breasts.

It’s a common question that you might relate to.

Taking into account your needs, we proposed an augmentation with Preservé technique. Although this procedure couldn’t address her asymmetry, she was clear that she didn’t want to accept additional scarring to resolve something she didn’t consider a priority.

The biggest advantage of Preserved is that it’s minimally invasive.It preserves breast tissue and only requires local anesthesia and sedation. Compared to traditional surgery, this means less discomfort, fewer risks, and a faster recovery.

And that was our patient’s priority. That’s what motivated her to make this decision.

We opted for high-profile ergonomic implants of 250 cc (MotivaErgonomix2, those that are the implants used with Preserved, I’ve already explained My opinion of Motiva prostheses in a previous article In case you want to know more. They’re top-notch.

Results:

    • Zero pain on the day of the procedure. After 3 days he asked us if he could attend a concert. He was doing very well. Unthinkable with conventional techniques.
    • Moderate, very natural improvement. In form and feel. Just what she was looking for.
    • Very satisfied. She has freed herself from her insecurities.

There should always be certain time frames to respect, but something that greatly impressed our patient is how quickly she was able to return to the gym

#2 Breast augmentation Preserved after 2 pregnancies

This is another very common question.

45-year-old patient. Normal weight. 165 cm. Comes to Cànons Clinics with the desire to regain the volume lost after 2 pregnancies “After breastfeeding, I feel empty.” She has no intention of having more children.

This is called involutional hypoplasia. Besides the loss of volume, the gland descends towards the lower pole and the upper pole flattens, giving the breast that “empty” or sagging appearance. This is common from age 35-40 onwards, after breastfeeding.

Although it is very normal, for many women it is not a pleasant change.

Going back to our patient, think about it. We’re talking about a mother of two children, caring for them, work, daily tasks… If you’re in a similar situation, you know you barely have any time. And you can’t afford to take a break for surgery.

That is why we indicate a breast augmentation with Preserve tecnique. For a fundamental benefit: In 24 hours you’ll be back to normal life. (with minimal care). As it is minimally invasive, the return to routine is almost immediate.

We also have outpatient operating room. Therefore, we operate within the clinic itself. Just as safe as a hospital, but more convenient and faster.

We used a 330cc high-profile breast implants (MotivaErgonomix2). She initially considered a larger size, but with Preserve the maximum volum available is 330 cc (4 cups). She didn’t mind, given the benefits of the procedure.

Results:

    • Luscious and firm breasts again, with a very natural shape and curve.
    • Slimmer figure, now she looks great in any bra and dress.
    • Confidence through the roof. She feels more feminine, attractive, and younger.


Before and after:

With traditional surgery, changes can be seen for up to a year. With Preserve, it’s usually up to about 3 months due to the better recovery.

Are you considering breast augmentation with Preserve?

#3 Breast augmentation with Preserveé in a patient with fears

Similar case to the first one.

Young woman, 24 years old. Slim. 160 cm. She comes to our clinic because she wants more volume and an improvement of her breasts. They barely grew during puberty (developmental hypoplasia), which has created an insecurity that affects him especially in summer.

She tells us that she’s been thinking about it for months. breast augmentation surgery, but has not made an appointment for fear from the operating room and “what might happen”. Capsular contracture, rippling, implant rupture, loss of nipple sensation, poor healing…

As soon as we told him about Preservé, she felt more relaxed.

On the one hand, the muscle is not touched, nor are no cuts made in the tissues. We gently move them to insert the prosthesis into a space where it integrates naturally and stably. No nerves, blood vessels, or gland are damaged.

It’s true that it’s still a novel technique and we don’t have long-term safety data. And there’s never zero risk. But so far it’s demonstrating a very low complication rate. Less compared to conventional surgery.

On the other hand, an incision of only 2.5 cm is made in the inframammary fold. Therefore, almost imperceptible scar that is hidden with the lower fold of the breast.

All of this encouraged the patient to finally take the step.

We implant a high profile implants 330 cc (MotivaErgonomix2), the maximum that Preservé allows. She had a little more discomfort than usual, but she was very happy.

Results:

    • Increase provided, according to their height and build.
    • Very good progress. Without visible marks or any of the issues she feared.
    • She feels fantastic. More confident, secure, and empowered.


Look at the before and after pictures:

Minimally invasive procedures also contribute to a more natural result. By preserving the tissues, they recover and heal better.

The patient presented with a natural separation of the breasts and a tendency towards skin redness. This did not affect her satisfaction.

#4 Breast augmentation with Preserve technique and mastopexy

One last very striking case.

43-year-old woman. Slightly overweight. 175 cm tall. She is consulting us because she wants to improve the shape of her breasts. Two pregnancies have caused slight ptosis (sagging), so she would not only like to increase, but also raise the breasts

This is a common question among those who request a breast lift with implants… Can it be done with Preserve?

The answer is yes and no.

On its own, it’s not a lifting technique, but in selected cases of mild ptosis, it can be combined with a breast lift. In severe ptosis, we usually require an approach that allows for greater correction.

As I mentioned, our patient had a slight fall. After evaluating her, we recommended a minimal periareolar mastopexy + augmentation with Preservation. Also, lipolaser with ArgoPlasma and Buttock lipofilling. She was looking for a 360 body remodeling.

We used a 235 cc implants with moderate profile (MotivaErgonomix2), with a spectacular result. Very satisfying for her, because she also had a very similar situation to that of the patient in case 2. Mother of two children…

In his own words:

“If it weren’t for the fact that it existsPreservedI probably wouldn’t have had the procedure. I have a lot of family and social activities that I couldn’t give up.”

Before and after:

The scars around the areola are from the mastopexy. They’re still fresh after a month, which is why they look red.

The change is impressive, but not disproportionate. We always prioritize naturalness and harmony.

Let’s see if Preserved would that be an option in your case?

Each patient is different.

If you are interested in the Preserved tecnique for your breast augmentation, come and we’ll talk. We have performed it on women who had been postponing the operation for years due to fear of general anesthesia, scars, the post-operative period…, and now they are different.

But it’s not for all cases. What volume are you looking? You’ve already seen that it allows a maximum of 330 cc. Do you have significant sagging or asymmetry, or is this not your first breast surgery? We would need to assess whether another procedure is more suitable.

If you come, we’ll study your needs, I’ll show you more before and after photos, and we’ll see if it’s the best for you. The quote is personalized and without obligation.
