Motiva Preservé breast augmentation
KRW 18,000,000
View English platform listingListed inclusions: Both platform listings state that VAT, anesthetic fees, and aftercare fees are included.
Preservé uses a single-use balloon dissector that cannot be reused, adding to the procedure cost. The difference in the listed procedure prices should not be interpreted as the price of this device alone. The appropriate surgical approach is determined after an individual assessment.
These are distinct listed procedures: Standard Motiva breast augmentation should not be read as a Preservé price. Your individual quotation confirms the included scope and any additional procedure. For items not listed here, including medication or compression garments, the final quotation will state whether they are included or separate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Key information about Preservé breast augmentation.
The Preservé technique is an advanced breast augmentation method that prioritizes tissue preservation and natural results. Unlike traditional methods, it minimizes trauma to surrounding tissues, preserves the natural breast pocket, and uses the Motiva SmoothSilk implant for optimal integration with your body.
The Preservé breast augmentation typically takes within 1 hour under sedation or general anesthesia. Dr. Choi's approach is designed to support efficient surgery with minimal tissue disruption. Recovery varies by individual.
Most patients can return to light activities within 3-5 days. Recovery time varies by individual. You can typically resume normal daily activities within 1-2 weeks, with full recovery in 4-6 weeks. Individual recovery may vary.
For the Preservé technique, incisions are made only at the inframammary fold (under the breast) and are approximately 2.5cm in length, though this may vary slightly depending on individual anatomy. Scars usually fade over time, though the final appearance varies by individual.
We discuss Motiva Ergonomix implants with SmoothSilk surface technology during consultation. Review current manufacturer safety information and known implant-related risks with your surgeon before making a decision.
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia, so you won't feel pain during the procedure. Post-operative discomfort is typically mild to moderate and well-managed with prescribed pain medication. Most patients describe it as tightness or soreness rather than severe pain, with discomfort decreasing significantly after the first few days.
