Motiva® Implants: The Next Generation

Motiva Implants® by Establishment Labs® represent the most significant advance in breast implant technology in the past decade. Used in over 86 countries for more than 14 years, Motiva received FDA approval in the United States in 2023 — bringing technology that international surgeons had long relied on to patients in New Jersey and across the country.

Dr. Rafizadeh offers both Motiva styles — Ergonomix® and SmoothSilk® Round — for patients seeking the most natural-feeling result available, the lowest capsular contracture risk, and the most current implant technology. All three implant lines he uses (Motiva, Allergan, and Mentor) are discussed during your personal consultation at our Morristown, NJ office, and the right implant for you is selected based on your individual anatomy and goals.

“Motiva represents a genuine advancement in implant technology — the SilkSurface and Ergonomix gel behavior are unlike anything we’ve had available before. For the right patient, it offers the softest, most natural result with the lowest risk profile.”

— Dr. Farhad Rafizadeh, MD FACS

Motiva Ergonomix®: The World’s First Ergonomic Implant

Motiva Ergonomix® is unlike any other breast implant currently available. It is filled with ProgressiveGel ULTIMA®, a proprietary gel formulation with viscoelastic properties that allow the implant to adapt its shape in response to gravity and body position:

No conventional fixed-shape implant — round or anatomical — can replicate this behavior. The result is a breast that is essentially indistinguishable from natural tissue in how it looks, feels, and moves.

Motiva Ergonomix® — the ProgressiveGel ULTIMA® gel creates a natural teardrop silhouette by responding to gravity, just like natural breast tissue.

Motiva SmoothSilk® Round: Enhanced Upper Pole, Consistent Shape

Motiva SmoothSilk® Round features ProgressiveGel PLUS®, which provides enhanced upper pole fullness and a consistent round profile whether the patient is upright or lying down. The round style suits patients who want defined upper-pole volume — a fuller appearance in the top portion of the breast — with the soft, natural feel and low capsular contracture risk that SilkSurface® technology provides.

Motiva SmoothSilk Round implant

Round implants are the most commonly placed implant style worldwide, representing approximately 80% of all breast augmentations. Motiva’s round option brings the same SilkSurface® shell technology and TrueMonobloc® unified construction to the most trusted implant geometry.

Projection Levels: Mini, Demi & Full

Both Motiva styles are available in three projection levels, allowing Dr. Rafizadeh to fine-tune the degree of forward projection based on each patient’s chest width, base diameter, existing tissue, and aesthetic goals:

Mini
Subtle enhancement with the lowest forward projection. Ideal for patients who want natural-looking volume without a dramatic change in size or profile.
Demi
Moderate projection — the most commonly selected level. Provides a balanced enhancement that suits a wide range of body frames and aesthetic goals.
Full
Maximum forward projection for patients seeking a more pronounced, fuller result while maintaining Motiva’s natural softness and movement characteristics.

The SilkSurface® Advantage: ~0.5% Capsular Contracture Rate

0.5%
Capsular Contracture Rate — Motiva

Clinical data shows Motiva implants carry a capsular contracture rate of approximately 0.5% — compared to 10–30% with many conventional smooth implants. This is the lowest published capsular contracture rate of any breast implant currently available, and it is directly attributable to SilkSurface® nanotechnology.

Motiva Technology: What Sets It Apart

SilkSurface® Nanotechnology
A controlled, nano-scale surface finish engineered for enhanced biocompatibility. SilkSurface mitigates the body’s inflammatory response, limits bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation, and promotes a softer, thinner, less structured capsule — resulting in a ~0.5% capsular contracture rate vs. 10–30% for conventional implants.
ProgressiveGel® Technology
Ergonomix® uses ProgressiveGel ULTIMA®; Round uses ProgressiveGel PLUS®. Both are viscoelastic silicone gel formulations designed to respond naturally to movement and gravity. The ULTIMA gel has the unique ability to shift from round to teardrop depending on body position — behavior no other implant gel replicates.
TrueMonobloc® Shell Design
The Motiva shell is manufactured as a single unified structure rather than separately bonded layers. This proprietary architecture improves long-term durability, reduces the risk of shell delamination, and creates a more cohesive bond between the gel filling and the outer shell.
BluSeal® Safety Barrier
A lightly tinted blue barrier layer made with biocompatible dyes. BluSeal allows for pre-surgical visual inspection of shell integrity and provides an additional layer of protection against silicone diffusion — an important safety feature that sets Motiva apart from conventional implant designs.
Qid® RFID Chip
Every Motiva implant contains a battery-free, passive RFID microchip (Qid®). This allows a surgeon to scan your implants at any future appointment and instantly retrieve your implant details — style, size, lot number, and date of manufacture — even without your implant card. A first-of-its-kind safety feature in breast implants.
Always Confident Warranty®
All Motiva implants include the Product Replacement Policy and Always Confident Warranty® as standard. Patients can extend coverage with an optional 2-year or 5-year Extended Warranty for additional product replacement and financial assistance protections over the long term.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Motiva in NJ?

Motiva implants are an excellent choice for a wide range of patients seeking breast augmentation in Morristown, Summit, Chatham, Short Hills, Livingston, Madison, and across Northern New Jersey. They are particularly well-suited for:

Silicone gel implants including all Motiva styles are FDA-approved for cosmetic breast augmentation in women 22 and older. Motiva implants are not yet FDA-approved for breast reconstruction in the U.S., where they remain under clinical investigation.

Why Choose Dr. Rafizadeh for Motiva in NJ?

Dr. Rafizadeh has 40+ years of breast surgery experience in Morristown, New Jersey — one of the most extensive track records in the state. He has performed breast augmentation, reduction, lift, and reconstruction since 1984, and offers Motiva as part of his commitment to staying current with the best available implant technology.

Because he offers Motiva, Allergan, and Mentor, Dr. Rafizadeh selects the implant brand that is genuinely best suited to each patient’s anatomy — not the one that is available by default. His recommendation is always based on your chest measurements, tissue characteristics, skin quality, and aesthetic goals, not on brand preference.

He evaluates patients from across Northern New Jersey — Morristown, Summit, Chatham, Short Hills, Livingston, Madison, Florham Park, and the greater tri-state area — and performs all augmentation procedures at Morristown Medical Center or Morristown Ambulatory Surgery Center. Manhattan and New York City patients reach the office in about 45 minutes via NJ Transit's Midtown Direct line (Morristown station to NY Penn), trading Manhattan pricing and wait times for the same board-certified, Motiva-experienced care; see our out-of-town guide for tri-state travel coordination.

Motiva Implants FAQ

Are Motiva breast implants FDA approved in the United States?+

Yes. Motiva SmoothSilk® Round and Motiva SmoothSilk® Ergonomix® received FDA Premarket Approval (PMA) for breast augmentation in 2023. This followed over 14 years of widespread clinical use in more than 86 countries, making Motiva one of the most extensively tested implant lines in the world before its U.S. approval. Note: Motiva implants for breast reconstruction are not yet commercially available in the U.S. and remain under clinical investigation.

What is the Motiva Ergonomix® implant and how does it work?+

Motiva Ergonomix® is filled with ProgressiveGel ULTIMA®, a viscoelastic gel that adapts its shape based on gravity and body position. When you are lying down, the implant settles into a round profile — just like natural breast tissue. When you stand up, the gel’s weight shifts downward and the implant naturally assumes a teardrop silhouette. No other breast implant currently on the U.S. market does this. The result is a breast that behaves, looks, and feels like natural tissue in every position and during movement.

Why is Motiva’s capsular contracture rate so much lower than other implants?+

Motiva implants use SilkSurface® technology — a nano-scale surface finish engineered to promote enhanced biocompatibility. The SilkSurface interacts with surrounding tissue in a way that mitigates the body’s inflammatory response, limits bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation, and promotes a softer, thinner capsule. Clinical studies have shown a capsular contracture rate of approximately 0.5% with Motiva implants, compared to 10–30% with many conventional smooth-shell implants. This is the lowest published CC rate for any commercially available breast implant.

What is the difference between Motiva Ergonomix® and Motiva SmoothSilk® Round?+

Ergonomix® uses ProgressiveGel ULTIMA®, which shifts shape with gravity — round when lying down, teardrop when standing. This produces the most natural-looking result in all positions. SmoothSilk® Round uses ProgressiveGel PLUS®, which maintains a consistent round shape in all positions and provides enhanced upper pole fullness. Both use the same SilkSurface® nano-texture and TrueMonobloc® shell. The best choice depends on your anatomy, existing breast tissue, and how much upper pole volume you want. Dr. Rafizadeh will recommend based on your individual measurements and goals during your consultation.

What projection levels are available for Motiva implants?+

Motiva implants are available in three projection levels: Mini (subtle, lowest forward projection), Demi (moderate — the most commonly selected level), and Full (maximum forward projection for a more pronounced result). Projection refers to how far forward the implant projects from the chest wall. Dr. Rafizadeh selects the appropriate level based on your chest wall width, breast base diameter, and desired outcome.

Who is a good candidate for Motiva breast implants in New Jersey?+

Motiva is an excellent option for patients who want the most natural-looking and natural-feeling result, patients with thin breast tissue where a subtle implant is important, patients with a history of capsular contracture seeking the lowest available CC risk, and patients who want the most advanced implant technology. Silicone gel implants including Motiva are FDA-approved for cosmetic augmentation in women 22 and older. Dr. Rafizadeh evaluates patients from Morristown, Summit, Chatham, Short Hills, Livingston, Madison, and across Northern New Jersey.

How does Motiva compare to Allergan and Mentor implants?+

Allergan (Natrelle) and Mentor are the two most established implant lines with the longest U.S. clinical track records and comprehensive warranty programs. They remain excellent choices for many patients. Motiva’s advantages lie in its surface technology (SilkSurface® at ~0.5% CC rate vs. 10–30% for conventional implants) and in the Ergonomix® gel’s unique positional adaptation. Dr. Rafizadeh offers all three brands and recommends based on your individual anatomy and priorities — not brand preference.

What is the Motiva implant warranty?+

All Motiva implants include the Product Replacement Policy and Always Confident Warranty® as standard, which covers product replacement in the event of implant failure. Patients can add an Extended Warranty — a 2-year or 5-year option depending on the implant version — for longer coverage including financial assistance. Motiva’s Qid® RFID chip also allows your implant details to be read electronically at any future appointment, ensuring your implant history is always accessible even decades later.
