Renaissance Plastic Surgery now offers the Motiva Preservé technique, a tissue-preserving, minimally invasive approach to breast augmentation in St. Louis designed for smaller incisions, gentler surgery, and a faster, more comfortable recovery.

A New Standard for Breast Augmentation in St. Peters

Our board-certified and board-eligible surgeons have always pursued techniques that protect the body while delivering natural-looking results. Preservé reflects that philosophy, and Renaissance Plastic Surgery is proud to be one of the few practices in the St. Louis area trained to offer it. With more than 100 years of combined experience, our team brings genuine expertise to this advanced, tissue-sparing method.

What Is the Motiva Preservé Technique?

Preservé is a minimally invasive breast augmentation technique that places implants while preserving the breast's natural anatomy. Rather than cutting through tissue, your surgeon uses specialized instruments to gently create the implant pocket, reducing trauma to surrounding structures. The technique relies on three working parts: a channel separator that opens a pathway without dividing tissue, a balloon device that elongates tissue in a controlled way, and a no-touch insertion sleeve that guides the implant through a smaller incision. This no-touch principle limits implant handling and helps reduce the risk of contamination.

Benefits of Tissue-Preserving Breast Augmentation

Smaller incisions and more discreet scarring
Less disruption to the muscle and breast tissue
Reduced contamination risk through no-touch insertion, which may help lower the chance of capsular contracture
Often, a faster, more comfortable recovery
Natural-looking, balanced results
