New Motiva implants: nanotexture + additional fixation
An experienced plastic surgeon can create a beautiful breast with any brand of implant. The question is how long-lasting the result will be and how to minimize risks and complications in the future, ensuring that this work lasts for many years, not just 2-3 years.
One of the main components of a breast implant is the shell (coating), as it is the one that comes into contact with the patient's tissues. That is why it is important to find the coating option for the implant that minimizes complications while maximizing aesthetic results.
Nanotexture - innovative implant coating
Numerous studies in recent years have shown that implants with rough texture more often lead to complications. Manufacturing technologies for texturization also affect these indicators because sugar and salt crystals are often used to create texture.
According to statistics: nanotexture (the finest texturing) results in a lower percentage of complications compared to other types of textures.
Motiva has developed a unique method of creating a maximally homogeneous texture without adding foreign materials. Each contact point of the implant is smaller than a cell, minimizing the risk of complications. This coating is called - nanotexture.
The SilkSurfaceTM nanotexture provides an advantage not only compared to textured surfaces but also to smooth implants, where the risk of complications is comparable to textured ones.

NanoSurface-coated implants appear smooth at first glance, but under magnification, a fine texture can be seen.

The capsule composition formed around implants with nanoparticle coating is significantly thinner than that of textured or smooth implants.

Advantages and disadvantages of nanotexture
This coating has its own advantages and disadvantages.
The advantages are that due to the biocompatible nanotexture surface of the implant, there is virtually no risk of capsular contracture formation, and the percentage of seromas and lymphomas is lower.
The disadvantage of this coating is that the stability of implants with nanoparticle coating is lower because the capsule thickness is also lower.
To prevent ptosis, implants with nanotexture are advisable for patients with good elastic tissues. And the choice should be made in favor of smaller implants that tissues can support.
Breast implant "with tabs" - fixators Motiva anatomical true fixation
Motiva has made a real breakthrough by releasing a breast prosthesis with Anatomical True Fixation fastening. These implants are distinguished by two "tabs," with which they are securely fixed (sewn to the chest during breast augmentation surgery), ensuring a stable position and eliminating the risk of rotation (which is important for anatomically shaped implants).
Thus, a breast implant combining the advantages of the most healthy coating (nanocoating that does not cause complications) and good fixation has been obtained, which was a weak point of nanocoating before the appearance of "tabs".
As a surgeon to whom Motiva provided new "tabbed" implants for work among the first, I can say that they have become my favorites alongside Polytech polyurethane implants. At the moment, these are the safest implant options.
