Preservé® Breast Augmentation

Preservé breast augmentation, available in Albuquerque, New Mexico, from board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Aaron Mayberry, is an innovative technique that enlarges the breasts with Motiva® silicone implants. Instead of creating a space for the implant with surgical dissection, Dr. Mayberry uses specialized instruments to gently place the implant within your natural breast tissue, leaving nerves, blood vessels, and support structures intact. Patients appreciate a quicker, more comfortable recovery, beautiful results, and maintained nipple sensation.

The founder of Mayberry Plastic Surgery, Aaron Mayberry, MD, has performed hundreds of breast enhancement surgeries over his more than 25 years in practice and was the first in New Mexico to offer advanced Motiva silicone implants. Dr. Mayberry stays at the forefront of breast augmentation innovations, giving his patients access to more options. While breast augmentation can give you fuller breasts, the best results begin with an approach tailored to your anatomy, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals.

What Is Motiva Preservé?

Motiva Preservé is a modern approach to breast augmentation that places Motiva SmoothSilk® silicone implants into the breast with specialized instruments that gently create space by pushing the internal structures aside. The procedure is intended to preserve important structures that contribute to breast support, sensation, and natural movement whenever anatomy allows.

The result is a breast enhancement that prioritizes natural proportions, soft contours, and long-lasting results.

Who Is a Candidate for the Preservé Technique?

Motiva Preservé is best suited for first-time breast augmentation patients who:

  • Want a subtle, elegant increase in breast volume
  • Are happy with their current breast shape
  • Have good skin elasticity and enough of their own breast tissue to support the implants

Patients seeking significantly larger implants, revision breast augmentation, or more complex breast reshaping may achieve better results with a different breast enhancement procedure. During your consultation, Dr. Mayberry will evaluate your anatomy, discuss your goals, and recommend the technique most likely to provide beautiful, long-lasting results.

What Is Recovery Like?

Because Preservé doesn't cut through breast tissue or the chest muscles, many patients experience minimal discomfort and are ready to return to work or school within 2 to 3 days. You will need to hold off on strenuous exercise until cleared by Dr. Mayberry.

You'll receive detailed postoperative instructions, and our team will monitor your healing throughout your recovery to help ensure the best possible outcome.

Why Choose Dr. Mayberry for Preservé Breast Augmentation?

With more than 25 years in practice and hundreds of breast enhancement procedures performed, Dr. Mayberry has the experience to tailor breast augmentation to each patient's anatomy, preferences, and long-term goals.

As one of the first surgeons in New Mexico to offer Motiva implants, he can determine when Preservé is an excellent option and when another technique is more appropriate. His recommendations are guided by what will produce the most balanced, natural-looking result for each patient.
