Preservé Breast Augmentation Guide

Preservé breast augmentation is an advanced, minimally invasive technique that enhances breast volume while preserving the natural structures of the breast. Unlike traditional breast augmentation, which may involve cutting through tissue or muscle, Preservé® uses specialized technology to gently separate tissue and create space for the implant.

This technique is specifically designed to:

  • Preserve natural breast tissue and internal support structures
  • Maintain nipple sensation and chest muscle function
  • Reduce trauma during surgery
  • Support faster recovery and long-term natural results

The Preservé® technique focuses on tissue preservation rather than disruption, allowing patients to achieve enhancement while maintaining the integrity of their natural breast anatomy. 

For patients seeking a more refined and modern approach to breast augmentation in Boca Raton, Preservé® represents a significant advancement.

At Ennis Plastic Surgery, we understand that your choices for breast augmentation are personal and you should be treated as an individual with a unique look.  To learn about Preservé breast augmentation, contact Ennis Plastic Surgery at 561-405-9020.

Who is a Candidate for Preservé® Breast Augmentation?

Preservé® breast augmentation is NOT for everyone. It is ideal for women who are seeking:

  • First-time breast augmentation who seek small implants and have naturally tight breast skin
  • Natural-looking and natural-feeling results
  • Minimal scarring, especially no breast scars
  • A less invasive surgical experience
  • Faster recovery compared to traditional techniques
  • Preserve’ IS NOT for women who have larger breast, loose skin or want larger implants.

It is also an excellent option for patients who prioritize maintaining breast function, sensation, and long-term tissue health. 

The best way to determine if you are a candidate is through a personalized consultation with Dr. Ennis.

What is Transaxillary Breast Augmentation (Underarm Approach)?

Transaxillary breast augmentation is a surgical technique where the breast implants are placed through a small incision hidden in the underarm (armpit), rather than on the breast itself.

Dr. Ennis specializes in this advanced technique, using endoscopic precision to perform breast augmentation under the arm with exceptional accuracy having placed thousands and thousands of silicone breast implants through the underarm.

This approach offers several important advantages:

  • No scars on the breast
  • A discreet incision hidden in the underarm crease
  • Preservation of the natural breast appearance
  • Ideal for patients seeking no scar breast augmentation

Because the incision is completely separate from the breast, patients can enjoy beautifully enhanced results without visible surgical markings on the breast itself.

How Preservé® and Transaxillary Technique Work Together

When Preservé breast augmentation is combined with the transaxillary technique, it creates one of the most advanced breast enhancement options available.

The procedure typically follows a precise, step-by-step approach:

First, detailed measurements are taken to customize the procedure to your anatomy. A small incision is then made in the underarm, allowing Dr. Ennis to access the breast without placing any incision on the breast itself.

Using a specialized channel separator, a pathway is gently created without cutting tissue. A controlled inflatable balloon is then used to carefully expand the pocket where the implant will sit, minimizing trauma and improving precision all while preserving teh natural anatomy of the breast.  

Finally, the implant is inserted using a no-touch technique, further reducing risk and preserving tissue integrity.

This method allows for:

  1. More precise implant placement
  2. Less disruption to the body
  3. A smoother recovery experience
  4. Natural, long-lasting results

Motiva® Breast Implants (SmoothSilk Ergonomix®) for Natural Results

Motiva breast implants are part of a new generation of breast implant technology designed to provide a softer, more natural feel compared to traditional implants.

Preservé® procedures at Ennis Plastic Surgery use Motiva SmoothSilk Ergonomix® implants, which are specifically designed to mimic the look, feel, and movement of natural breast tissue.

These implants are unique because they adapt to your body:

  • They appear round when lying down
  • They take on a natural teardrop shape when standing
  • They feel soft and responsive to movement

The advanced gel inside the implant is both cohesive and flexible, allowing it to behave more like natural tissue. This is why many patients choose Motiva implants when seeking natural breast augmentation in Florida. 

The New Generation of Breast Implant Technology

Preservé® breast augmentation represents a shift toward new breast implant technology and more advanced surgical techniques.

Combined with Motiva SmoothSilk Ergonomix® breast implants, this approach is designed for patients seeking natural-looking breast implants that move and feel like real tissue.

Unlike traditional methods, this modern technique focuses on preserving the natural anatomy of the breast while delivering refined, long-lasting results.

Benefits of Preservé® Breast Augmentation vs Traditional Implants

One of the main reasons patients choose Preservé breast augmentation in Boca Raton is because it offers a less invasive alternative to traditional techniques.

Because the procedure avoids cutting through major structures, patients often experience less inflammation and a more comfortable recovery. The preservation of natural tissues also contributes to better long-term outcomes and a more natural feel.

Another key advantage is the ability to combine Preservé® with transaxillary breast augmentation, eliminating visible breast scars while still achieving full, beautifully shaped results.

Patients also appreciate the improved implant stability associated with this technique, as the natural support structures of the breast are maintained rather than disrupted.

Preservé® vs Traditional Breast Augmentation: What’s the Difference?

When researching breast augmentation in Boca Raton, many patients want to understand how newer techniques like Preservé® breast augmentation compare to traditional approaches. While both options can enhance breast size and shape, the methods—and the overall experience—can be very different.

Traditional breast augmentation has been performed successfully for decades and remains a reliable option. However, it often involves more direct surgical dissection to create the implant pocket. Depending on the technique used, this may result in greater disruption of natural breast tissues and typically involves an incision placed on or near the breast.

By contrast, Preservé® breast augmentation is designed around a tissue-preserving philosophy. Instead of cutting through important structures, the technique uses specialized instruments to gently separate tissue and create a precise space for the implant. This approach is intended to maintain natural breast function, including nipple sensation and structural support. 

Preservé® + Transaxillary Breast Implant Placement

Another major distinction is the incision location. With Dr. Ennis’s expertise in transaxillary breast augmentation, implants can be placed through a small incision hidden in the underarm. This means no visible scar on the breast itself, which is a key advantage for patients seeking a more discreet outcome.

Implant technology also plays a role. Preservé® is paired with Motiva SmoothSilk Ergonomix® implants, which are designed to move naturally with the body—appearing fuller when lying down and more teardrop-shaped when standing.  This helps create results that look and feel more like natural breast tissue.

Recovery is another important consideration. Because Preservé® minimizes tissue disruption, many patients are drawn to it for the potential of a smoother recovery and less post-operative discomfort compared to more traditional methods. 

Ultimately, both approaches can deliver beautiful results. The difference lies in the level of refinement, preservation, and technique. For patients seeking a more modern, minimally invasive approach—especially one that avoids visible breast scars—Preservé® with the transaxillary technique offers a highly advanced solution. 

This combination of Preservé® technique and Motiva breast implants represents one of the most advanced and natural-feeling breast augmentation options available today.

In the words of our patients

Hands down I am so happy Dr Ennis and his team did my breast augmentation surgery. I went to multiple doctors for a consultation but knew Dr. Ennis is the right person for the job. His team is also amazing and so welcoming. They made me feel comfortable start to finish. Dr Ennis gave me the perfect size implants and the surgery itself was such a quick and easy recovery! I had the surgery done through the armpits (something not offered at most places) and was moving around like normal after 3 days (not to mention my incisions are gone). I highly recommend Dr Ennis and his team and am grateful for all they have done
