-- Dr. Frank Agullo, a board-certified plastic surgeon widely recognized as Dr. WorldWide, has completed advanced training at Establishment Labs’ global headquarters in Alajuela, Costa Rica, focusing on preservation breast augmentation techniques. This specialized surgeon-to-surgeon program emphasized the latest innovations in breast tissue preservation, utilizing Motiva’s cutting-edge technology to provide a less invasive alternative to traditional breast augmentation. Benefits of this new innovative surgery include minimal anesthesia, smaller scars, fast post-procedure recovery, and the preservation of natural breast tissue ,including nipple sensation and chest muscles.
This training utilized Motiva Ergonomix implants, which are designed to adapt naturally to body movements, providing a natural look and feel for patients. Unlike traditional breast augmentation procedures that typically require a four- to six-centimeter incision and involve muscle dissection, this unique breast-preservation approach employs a significantly smaller incision of just two to three centimeters. This technique gently elongates the native breast tissues without detaching the pectoralis muscle, creating a stable pocket that safeguards the implant and preserves the breast’s natural structure.
Global clinical data supporting this method demonstrate remarkable results, including zero cases of lower-pole malposition at three-year follow-up, highlighting the structural benefits of tissue preservation. This technique recruits patients' natural breast tissue, allowing surgeons to choose a smaller implant to achieve the visual effect of larger implants—typically 300 to 350cc—with volumes closer to 150 to 200cc. This reduction in implant size decreases strain on the breast’s supporting ligaments, contributing to enhanced long-term comfort and durability.
The preservation breast augmentation procedure is typically completed in approximately thirty minutes under light conscious sedation. Patients benefit from a fast post-procedure recovery, often dressing themselves and leaving the recovery area within an hour. Most resume their daily activities within one to two days and return to light gym workouts after only a few days. This recovery timeline is significantly shorter than that associated with conventional breast augmentation surgeries. Because the procedure preserves nerves, ducts, and blood vessels, patients experience less postoperative discomfort, minimal bruising, and better preservation of breast sensation. The small incision is discreetly hidden in the inframammary fold, enhancing the aesthetic outcome.
Dr. Agullo expressed enthusiasm about bringing these advanced techniques to his practice, stating, “Being invited to Costa Rica by Establishment Labs allowed me to bring the most forward-thinking solutions back to Southwest Plastic Surgery. My goal has always been natural enhancement with minimal disruption to a patient’s life, and preservation breast augmentation delivers on that promise.”
This advancement provides patients access to smaller scars, smaller implants, and faster, more comfortable recoveries than ever, reinforcing Dr. Agullo’s commitment to patient-centered care and surgical excellence.
