A 5-year multicenter retrospective study on Motiva Ergonomix® breast implants: Minimizing complications and maximizing results

Published in: European Journal of Plastic Surgery | Issue 6/2023

Abstract

Background

The task of promoting patient safety and aesthetically pleasing results, without exceeding anatomical limitations or compromising surgical outcomes, is one of the biggest challenges plastic surgeons face today.

Methods

This is a multicenter, single-surgeon retrospective study evaluating the long-term safety and aesthetic results of Motiva Ergonomix® implants in 325 consecutive female recipients undergoing bilateral primary breast augmentation procedures, predominantly performed with a minimal incision approach between 2 and 3.5 cm. As a secondary benefit of the study, we aim to provide insight into modern patient needs and desires expressed during the pre-operative implant selection process, and data collected evaluating patient satisfaction rates using a pre-operative and post-operative Breast-Q questionnaire and a Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS).

Results

Between 2015 and 2019, six hundred and fifty Ergonomix® implants were implanted into 325 consecutive patients undergoing primary breast augmentation with a mean minimal incision length of 2.9 cm (range 2–3.5 cm). The mean follow-up time was 14 months with a range of 6 to 48 months. Over the 5 years, a total of 7 complications were reported among 325 patients with an overall complication rate of 2.15% and an overall reoperation rate of 1.23% (N = 2).

Conclusions

Ergonomix® implants can provide a favorable choice for balancing both safety and aesthetics in primary breast augmentation procedures.
