Preserve™ Breast Augmentation
A new approach in Breast Augmentation
Preserve™ Breast Augmentation is an innovative Breast Enlargement procedure designed to achieve natural-looking results while preserving breast tissue and minimising surgical trauma. Unlike traditional Breast Augmentation, Preserve™ can be performed under local anaesthetic, allowing patients to remain comfortable throughout the procedure without the need for a general anaesthetic.
For many women, this offers greater peace of mind, a faster recovery experience, and the opportunity to return to normal activities sooner. Combined with advanced surgical techniques and Motiva® implants, Preserve™ represents a modern approach to Breast Augmentation focused on patient comfort, safety, and natural-looking outcomes.
What is Preservé™ Breast Augmentation?
Traditional Breast Augmentation surgery involves creating a pocket for the implant through dissection of the breast tissues. Preservé™ uses a specialised tissue-preserving technique that allows the implant to be inserted whilst minimising disruption to key anatomical structures.
The procedure has been designed to:
- Preserve breast tissue and supporting structures where possible
- Reduce trauma to surrounding tissues
- Maintain natural breast movement
- Support a quicker recovery
- Achieve soft, natural-looking results
Preservé™ is performed using specially designed instruments and Motiva® implants, which have been developed to complement the body’s natural contours.
Benefits of Preservé™ Breast Augmentation
Many women choose Preservé™ because it offers a modern approach to breast enhancement with a focus on both aesthetics and recovery.
Potential benefits include:
- Natural-looking breast enhancement
- Smaller incisions compared with some traditional techniques
- Reduced disruption of breast tissue
- Preservation of breast sensation where possible
- Less post-operative discomfort
- Faster return to normal daily activities
- Softer, more natural breast movement
- Minimal visible scarring
As with any surgical procedure, individual results and recovery times will vary.
Who is suitable for Preservé™ Breast Augmentation?
Preservé™ may be suitable for women who:
- Wish to increase breast size and volume
- Would like a natural-looking enhancement
- Have experienced volume loss following pregnancy or weight loss
- Are seeking breast augmentation with a focus on tissue preservation
- Want a potentially quicker recovery compared with traditional breast enlargement techniques
The best way to determine whether Preservé™ is suitable for you is through a consultation with an experienced breast surgeon.
Breast Augmentation Without General Anaesthetic
One of the most significant advantages of Preserve™ Breast Augmentation is that the procedure can be performed under local anaesthetic.
Many patients are concerned about undergoing a general anaesthetic, whether due to previous experiences, anxiety surrounding surgery, or a desire to avoid the longer recovery associated with being put to sleep. Preserve™ offers an alternative approach that allows patients to remain awake and comfortable throughout their procedure.
Benefits of local anaesthetic may include:
- Avoiding the risks associated with general anaesthesia
- Faster recovery immediately after surgery
- Reduced post-operative side effects
- Earlier mobilisation following treatment
- Shorter time spent in the clinic or hospital
- Greater reassurance for patients who feel anxious about being put to sleep
Your Personalised Consultation
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation with one of our specialist Breast Surgeons.
During your appointment, they will:
- Discuss your goals and expectations
- Review your medical history
- Examine your breast shape, size, and skin quality
- Explain the Preserve™ technique in detail
- Recommend suitable implant options
- Outline expected results, recovery, and aftercare
We encourage patients to ask questions and take time to make an informed decision.
The Procedure
Preserve™ Breast Augmentation is performed under local anaesthetic.
A carefully planned small incision is made, typically within the natural breast crease. Using specialised surgical techniques, your surgeon creates a precise pocket for the implant while minimising disruption to surrounding tissues.
Implants are then inserted and positioned to achieve the desired shape and projection. The incision is closed with fine sutures to support optimal healing and minimise visible scarring.
The procedure usually takes between one and two hours, and most patients will return home the same day after spending a short amount of time after surgery in our recovery suites.
What to expect
Following surgery, you can expect to have mild swelling and tenderness with tightness across the chest, this is all temporary and should resolve within 1-2 weeks.
You will receive a supportive post-surgical bra to wear following surgery, this will need to be worn at all times, aside from washing for at least 6 weeks.
Downtime
Many patients can return to desk-based work within one week.
Gentle exercise such as walking can be resumed after 5-7 days but strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for 4-6 weeks or as advised by your surgeon.
Follow-up Care
Your surgeon will provide detailed aftercare instructions and arrange follow-up appointments to monitor your recovery.
Results
You will notice an immediate increase in breast volume after surgery, although swelling can temporarily affect the final appearance.
Over 4-6 weeks the implants will settle into position and the breasts will soften, revealing a more natural shape and feel. Final results are typically seen by around 3-6 months.
The goal of Preserve™ Breast Augmentation is to create elegant, proportionate enhancement that complements your natural figure while preserving breast anatomy as much as possible.

No, a Preservé™ Breast Augmentation can not use the under the muscle technique as there is no cutting or lifting of the muscle involved in the procedure. The design of the technique is for the implant to sit above the muscle with your natural breast tissue supporting. This helps to preserve the anatomy and natural sensation of your breast.
Breast Augmentation and Preservé™ Breast Augmentation procedures are both safe when performed by Consultant Plastic Surgeons who are on the General Medical Council (GMC) Specialist Register for Plastic Surgery.
