Seeing someone in severe pain after a breast augmentation is not something I consider “normal” or acceptable in 2026.

I’ve been performing a one-day recovery style breast augmentation since 2004, and with modern technique, careful tissue handling, and the right anesthesia plan, most patients should be comfortable enough to be up, moving, and functioning quickly. 

And with Motiva Preservé, recovery can be even smoother for the right candidate because the approach is designed to be more tissue-preserving and less traumatic. 

Every patient is different, but if you’re being told to expect extreme pain as the “standard,” that’s a sign you need a better conversation about technique, implant selection, and recovery planning.

When you see a “$24K face transformation” online, the most important thing to understand is this: it’s rarely one procedure.

In this reaction, I’m looking at the “before” and “after” and explaining the most common combination of treatments that can create that kind of change—things like skin tightening, volume restoration, and structural refinement. But from a video alone, you cannot responsibly “diagnose” exactly what was done, because lighting, angles, makeup, filters, and time all matter. 

My takeaway for patients is simple. If you’re considering facial cosmetic work, don’t chase a price tag or a checklist. Start with a plan that prioritizes proportion, harmony, and long-term aging, and work with someone who will tell you what you don’t need just as clearly as what you do.

32-year-old patient, Motiva Preservé breast augmentation.

She started as a very full B cup and wanted a subtle but noticeable change into the C range without looking overstated. We planned her sizing with the Crisalix 3D imaging system, then selected Motiva Mini implants to match her anatomy and goals. 

Final implant selection was 150cc on one side and 190cc on the other to optimize balance and achieve the look she wanted. She’s thrilled with how natural and proportionate the result looks.

The ideal Preservé patient is essentially the ideal breast augmentation patient, but Preservé lets me elevate the result.

If you have thicker, higher-quality tissue with little to no sagging, you’re a great candidate and I can often achieve a cleaner, more refined outcome with Preservé. But where Preservé really shines is when the tissue is more compromised. In those cases, I’m often able to use a slightly smaller implant and still deliver a better looking, longer-lasting result with a lower risk profile. 

In other words, whether your tissue is excellent or not-so-perfect, Preservé is often a win. The key is matching the plan to your anatomy and goals.

Opportunities like this never get old. Being able to share clinical insight, technique philosophy, and real-world experience with surgeons who are committed to advancing patient outcomes is truly an honor.

The momentum behind Preservé Motiva breast augmentation continues to grow — and watching more skilled surgeons invest in education, precision, and tissue-respecting innovation is exactly how meaningful change happens in aesthetics.

Grateful to be part of the movement, the collaboration, and the continued evolution of modern breast surgery.

The conversation is expanding… and we’re just getting started. 💫

Yes, you can absolutely combine Motiva Preservé with a breast lift and for the right patient, it’s one of my favorite combinations.

The reason is mechanical. A lift is meant to rebuild and support the lower breast, so the last thing you want is a heavy implant sitting low and constantly pushing downward on tissue that’s already stretched. With Preservé, I can often use a smaller implant and position it higher, so it stays supported while I perform the lift around it. The implant stays up, and the lift does the job it’s supposed to do. 

If you’ve lost volume and also need elevation, this approach can deliver a more stable, longer-lasting shape with beautiful proportions.
