Preservation Breast Augmentation
in London UK
What is Preservation Breast Augmentation?
Preservation Breast Augmentation reimagines augmentation by maintaining key support structures—such as Cooper’s ligaments—while creating the implant pocket through gradual, controlled tissue elongation rather than aggressive cutting. The result: less disruption, more natural movement and feel, and a recovery experience patients typically find gentler than with traditional augmentation.
At iQonic Aesthetics, this approach is delivered using Preservé™ by Motiva®—a system that forms a precise tunnel and then uses an inflatable balloon to create the pocket in a controlled way. The implant is then placed via a sterile no-touch insertion sleeve, helping minimise contamination and reduce complications.
Why this matters: preserving natural planes, nerves and blood supply supports a softer drape, natural motion and long-term stability.
Preservé™ by Motiva® & Motiva® Implants—our technology difference
- Pocket creation with precision: a guided tunnel enables balloon-assisted expansion to form the “Breast Tissue Preservation Space” above the muscle through gradual, controlled elongation—minimising tissue trauma.
- No-touch delivery: the Motiva® Insertion Sleeve helps the implant glide into position while keeping the device isolated from skin contact.
- Implant design for natural movement: Motiva® Progressive Gel Ultima® and advanced shells are engineered to move like natural breast tissue.
- Small-incision compatibility: Ergonomix2® is designed to bend/elongate for smaller incisions—ideal for preservation-led, minimal-scar strategies.
- Surface science: Motiva’s SmoothSilk®/SilkSurface® micron-scale surface is developed for biocompatibility and has been associated with lower capsular contracture rates in clinical communications.
- Peace of mind: Always Confident Warranty® for rupture (lifetime) and product replacement policy for Baker III–IV capsular contracture.

Preservation Breast Augmentation Recovery
Immediately after surgery:
You’ll spend a short time in our monitored recovery suite before returning home the same day. Some swelling, tightness, or mild soreness are completely normal and typically milder than with traditional augmentation thanks to the tissue-preserving technique. A soft, supportive bra will be fitted to aid healing and maintain implant position.
Downtime:
- Light activities: 5–7 days — many Preservation patients feel comfortable moving sooner due to reduced tissue trauma.
- Time off work: around 1 week, depending on your role and activity level.
- Avoid heavy lifting or upper-body exercise: for 4–6 weeks to protect internal healing and pocket stability.
Follow-up care:
Your aftercare includes scheduled check-ups with ultrasound-guided assessments, personalised recovery tracking, and 24/7 access to your medical team through the Adoreal app. Each Motiva® implant is covered by the Always Confident Warranty®, and your iQonic plan includes extended follow-up and maintenance reviews to ensure long-term peace of mind.
Long term:
Breasts may appear slightly higher or firmer during the first few weeks as swelling resolves. Over 4–6 weeks, they gently settle into their natural position and movement. By around 3 months, your results will feel soft, balanced, and beautifully natural — reflecting the benefits of both Preservé™ by Motiva® and our precision, tissue-sparing approach.
At iQonic, aftercare is just as important as the procedure itself — we remain by your side through every stage, ensuring your comfort, safety, and satisfaction for years to come.

I cannot say enough positive things about my experience with Adrian Richards, Melissa and the team. From the very first consultation, I felt completely at ease and confident in my decision. Adrian's expertise and meticulous attention to detail were evident from the start, and they took the time to thoroughly explain each step of the process, answer all my questions, and address any concerns I had.
The results exceeded my expectations. Adrian blended artistry with precision, achieving a natural and stunning outcome that has truly boosted my confidence. Beyond their exceptional skill, the entire team was compassionate, professional, and made me feel genuinely cared for.
If you're considering any procedure, I wholeheartedly recommend Adrian and his team. Their combination of unparalleled skill, dedication to patient care, and aesthetic sense make them one of the best in the field.

I had a wonderful experience at Iqonic. I was in touch with Adrian Richards and Melissa his amazing assistant nurse for over a year before I decided to go for a procedue. I feel they are really committed to giving natural results in the safest way. They were hugely supportive from the very beginning and gave me amazing advice as I wanted my results to look natural.They encouraged me to take my time and have a good think before making any decision.

The team very incredible from the consultation right the way through to post surgery and years later. Due to Covid, I was unable to have the usual check ups with them, however, whenever I had any questions, they were more than ready to help. I have since sent several people in their direction and personally wouldn't trust anyone else. Not only was their care incredible,but the results of my surgery were more than I could have hoped for.
