Preserved Breast Augmentation is an innovative plastic surgery method developed by Motiva that prioritizes a less invasive approach and respect for the breast’s natural anatomy. By using a tissue expander, the necessary space for the implant is created without cutting through muscles or other structures, which helps reduce postoperative pain and swelling and promotes a faster recovery.
This technique is particularly suitable for those who want a natural-looking result, with minimal surgical impact and discreet scarring.
Unlike more aggressive traditional techniques, breast-conserving surgery is based on a simple yet fundamental principle: adapting the tissue to the implant, rather than forcing the implant onto the tissue.

Preservative breast augmentation is a breast-preserving surgical technique designed to keep the breast’s natural structures intact as much as possible. This includes both the anatomy and function of the breast, avoiding unnecessary distortions.
When we use this technique, which utilizes Motiva implants, we’re not just looking for an immediate aesthetic result. The focus is on how the breasts will change over time—something that’s key for me when planning any Preservé breast augmentation.
One of the cornerstones of breast augmentation is preserving the natural architecture of the breast. The gland, ligaments, and anatomical structures are respected as much as possible, allowing the breast to retain its natural function.
In my experience, this preservation of the breast’s natural anatomy results in breasts that not only look natural but also feel natural to the patient from the very early stages of recovery.
Unlike traditional techniques, the Preservé technique involves stretching and adapting the native tissues, thereby minimizing surgical damage. This allows the implant to integrate gradually and harmoniously.
This less invasive approach reduces stress on the tissues and facilitates a smoother recovery, while also improving stability in the medium and long term.



The breast augmentation procedure is performed in an operating room under local anesthesia and mild sedation.
The breast anatomy, tissue quality, and the patient's expectations are assessed. The goal is to plan the augmentation in a way that preserves the natural structure of the breast and its attachment to the chest.
The most appropriate size and type of Preserved implants are determined, with a focus on ensuring they integrate seamlessly without straining the native tissues.
The surgery is performed in a way that minimizes damage to breast structures, avoids unnecessary detachment, and preserves the natural anatomical planes.
Instead of forming a tight pocket, the tissues stretch and conform around the implant, allowing for a more natural integration.
Inframammary fold (under the breast)
Periareolar (lower edge of the areola)
Axillary (less common)
The attachment of the breast to the chest is preserved, which is key to achieving stability, a natural appearance, and better long-term results.
The Motiva implant is positioned to achieve symmetry, natural mobility, and an aesthetic result that is consistent with the patient's anatomy.
The incision is closed in a way that preserves the surrounding tissue and promotes a more comfortable recovery, with postoperative follow-up designed to ensure proper settling of the Motiva implant after treatment.
Less invasive and gentler on the tissues
In traditional breast augmentation, the tissues are often stretched to make room for the implant. In contrast, breast augmentation with tissue preservation takes a more conservative approach, prioritizing the preservation of breast structures.
I have found that this less invasive surgical approach not only improves recovery but also reduces the likelihood of unnatural or stiff results.
One of the key distinguishing features of this technique is that it preserves the breast’s natural attachment to the chest wall. This is essential for the breast to maintain its position and shape over time.
From a biomechanical standpoint, this natural alignment allows for much more stable movement—a point that is rarely explained in depth but makes a real difference compared to other techniques.

Natural results, promoting recovery.

Throughout the entire process, Dr. Dewever oversees the progress and follow-up.
Breast augmentation with tissue preservation offers clear advantages over other techniques:
In my daily practice, this approach allows me to offer patients surgery that is more in harmony with their own bodies, without resorting to forced solutions.
One of the key benefits of breast augmentation is how the breasts change over time.
By respecting the anatomy and natural attachment, the result does not deteriorate artificially or lose its natural appearance over time.
I have observed that breasts treated with breast-conserving surgery age better, maintaining a much more natural shape and contour than those treated with more invasive techniques.
As always, treatment recommendations should be tailored to each individual following a comprehensive medical evaluation at our plastic surgery clinic in Barcelona, as everyone’s anatomy is different.

EXCELLENT Based on 169 reviews Published in Sara CastellDecember 22, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I couldn't be happier!! I am so grateful to the entire team at the Belba Clinic, and especially to Dr. Felix. I had my blepharoplasty on November 13, and in less than a month the scars were barely noticeable—and today, December 22, they’re almost invisible!! The surgery was quick and painless, and the recovery was pain-free too. It’s been wonderful!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!Published in Carmen Lucas HernándezDecember 22, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to ClĂnica Belba, especially to Dr. Dewever and his entire team. From the very beginning, they instilled in me a deep sense of trust and professionalism, but above all, they treated me with exceptional kindness. I had my surgery on November 27 of this year, and I couldn’t be more grateful for how they supported me throughout the entire process—always attentive, approachable, and addressing every concern. With each passing day, I am happier with the results. I would definitely recommend the clinic 100%. Thank you for making me feel so at ease and in the best hands.Published in Silvia SGDecember 22, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t thank Dr. Mike Dewever and his entire team enough for the incredible work they did on my breast implant replacement. After visiting several surgeons in Barcelona, he was the last one I saw and the one who inspired the most confidence in me. He strikes that perfect balance: he’s thorough in his explanations, as a true professional should be, but he always greets you with a smile and asks questions until he fully understands what you’re looking for. He knows how to advise you with honesty and professionalism. I especially want to highlight his compassionate and empathetic approach. At ClĂnica Belba, Raquel and Desiree are wonderful, incredibly friendly, and make you feel right at home from the very first moment. My biggest hurdle was my fear of general anesthesia, since during my first procedure (at another clinic) I had deep local sedation—this was almost 20 years ago. Dr. Mike knew how to calm me down from the start, but on the day of the surgery at ClĂnica Tres Torres, the entire team was exceptional, from the orderly to the nurses. My anesthesiologist, Dr. Carmona, deserves a special mention; she is a wonderful person and the best professional I could have had. She was the one who gave me the final reassurance I needed to enter the operating room feeling calm. It hasn’t even been a month since my surgery, and I’m having an exceptional recovery—I’ve had practically no pain, and from the very first day I had quite a bit of mobility in my arms. I’m thrilled with the results!! Thanks to this great team, I’ve fulfilled a dream. If you’re looking for a surgeon in Barcelona who is not only technically among the best but also takes care of you emotionally, Dr. Mike Dewever is the right choice. Highly recommended!Published in Alba MasipDecember 22, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had otoplasty surgery on September 1 with Dr. Chavarria. I know it’s not one of the most common surgeries, but it has given me confidence and self-esteem. The doctor treated me wonderfully, always explaining everything carefully—the entire process leading up to and following the surgery—and he’s also very approachable. I’m so happy!!Published in Ivy Scrancher-FerranDecember 22, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. On December 4, I underwent a breast lift without implants at the Belba Clinic with Dr. Mike Devewer and his team. From the very first contact, the doctor and his team were very professional and attentive. I was very nervous and even scared, but I had a positive, warm experience. The doctor explained in detail what the results would look like and advised me to schedule post-surgical laser treatment to minimize scarring. I left the consultation with a date already set for the procedure. I had my surgery at Tecknon. I felt I was in good hands and well cared for. The result looks natural, and the scars are minimal and improving day by day. My self-confidence has already changed, and I feel very happy. Thank you, doctor, for helping me through this transformation process, which has changed my self-esteem. I will always remember you with great respect and admiration. Thank you to all the girls—they are lovely and treated me wonderfully. I certainly hope this review helps any woman who is in the process of choosing a doctor and clinic. Many thanks to the entire team. Merry ChristmasPublished in MiriamDecember 20, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had surgery on October 31: a tummy tuck and breast reduction performed by Dr. ChavarrĂa. Everything was explained clearly, and he put me at ease and made me feel very secure. It went great; the results are already amazing, even though the healing process isn’t quite complete yet. The scar is healing beautifully, and everything has been easier than I expected.Published in Raquel Guerra NavasDecember 19, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly skilled professionals and unbeatable service and attention.Published in Maria BarberĂDecember 18, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. FĂ©lix Chavarria performed my breast reduction surgery, and my experience has been very positive—the results look natural and proportionate, and my recovery was pain-free. I highly recommend this surgery to other women who feel self-conscious; I assure you that you’ll be in the best hands.Published in Laia Ruiz AmargantDecember 18, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the very beginning, Dr. Dewever and the Medics Integral Salut clinic inspired a level of trust in me that no one else could, and I wasn’t wrong—I’m thrilled with the process and the understanding and patience of the entire team. I just want to say a big thank you for everything, and I would do it all over again a thousand times over!
