In this video, Dr. Ricardo Rodriguez highlights how Motiva implants use a unique nano-texture designed to behave like a textured implant, how they may help reduce capsular contractor, and why they’re a promising option for breast augmentation patients seeking long-term safety and natural results.

Breast lift with large Breast implants and Durasorb
Patients love the internal mesh bra breast augmentation – and here’s why:
The patient featured in this video needed a breast lift and a larger silicone implant exchange (800cc). To ensure long-lasting support and a lifted appearance, Dr. Rodriguez used DuraSorb®, a bioabsorbable surgical mesh that acts like an internal mesh bra, providing temporary structural support during the healing process.
The result?
High, beautifully positioned implants with better projection, higher lift, and only a minimal, well-hidden scar around the areola!
Fat Transfer Breast augmentation Follow Up
Fat grafting is a great technique for natural breast augmentation (using your fat tissue as opposed to using silicone or saline breast implants). This patient (approximately 5’7″ and 130 lbs) is very happy with her results.
Correction of a Double Bubble Deformity
This patient is one year post-correction of a double bubble breast contour deformity. I’m going to show you what it used to look like on a picture and what she looks like now, a year later.
Periareolar Incision Mastopexy Day 2 Post-Op Video
This patient had a breast lift with a scar just around the areola as opposed to a lollipop scar or an anchor scar.
Weightlifter Gynecomastia
I corrected this patient’s gynecomastia and he went on to become a Masters National Body Building Champion recognized by the IFBB.
Saline Breast implants – 20 Year Follow Up
This patient had breast augmentation using saline implants 20 years ago and her results still look spectacular. See for yourself and hear Dr. Rodriguez discuss the specifics of her procedure and her long-lasting results.
Bilateral Breast augmentation – 9 Year Follow Up
This patient, now in her early 30s, had a breast augmentation using 500cc implants when she was in her early 20s. See how her results are holding up 9 years and 1 pregnancy later.
Crescent Mastopexy: Breast lift with minimal scarring
The Crescent mastopexy is a type of Breast lift that is perfect for situations where only a small lift is needed. I use it exclusively for small breast lifts because of the well-disguised scar! It works especially great for women who have breastfed and for patients with mild asymmetry issues.
What is the difference between high-profile Breast implants vs moderate-profile Breast implants?
If you are considering breast augmentation, don’t get too focused on a particular implant size, they also come in different configurations. You have a body type that’s your own and although you might want a 350cc implant, for example, the moderate profile might be better suited for you, or the high profile, and you just might have to go up or down a size depending on which profile you pick and your desired result. The size of the implant will play a role, but implant types and placement are of just as much importance in your decision-making process!
Breast implant ripples and wrinkling: How to reduce the risk
Two things matter when it comes to breast implant wrinkling or implant ripples: the consistency of the soft tissue cover and the implant material itself. I know that the issue of implants and visible rippling or wrinkling comes up in implant forums and I often hear it mentioned during consults. In this video presentation, I show both saline and silicone implants so you can see how the wrinkling can appear directly on the implant itself as it’s held up. While silicone is more gel-like, it is not immune to wrinkling. I also discuss the gummy bear implant, which has a very stiff silicone consistency and is recommended for patients with breast reconstruction who have very little soft tissue cover in place.
Breast augmentation: Implant selection
Breast implants can be quite complicated when it comes to choosing the right fit. For my Breast augmentation patients, one of my roles as a plastic surgeon is to help you choose the best breast implant for your body and for what you want to accomplish. There are more choices to make than most patients originally think and making the right choices is essential to getting the desired result that you’re after.
