A SIXTH-GENERATION IMPLANT BUILT FOR A NATURAL RESULT

Not all silicone implants are built the same way, and Motiva® breast implants represent the newest engineering generation on the U.S. market, FDA-cleared and supported by more than ten years of real-world data from patients around the globe. Rather than sitting rigid against the chest wall, Motiva® is engineered to move, compress, and settle the way natural breast tissue does.

The Gallery of Cosmetic Surgery offers Motiva® Implants in Kirkland and Bellevue performed by Dr. Craig Jonov and Dr. Rajasekhar Nalluri, two of the most experienced board certified plastic surgeons known for producing soft, proportionate results with a strong safety track record.

WHAT MAKES MOTIVA® DIFFERENT?

Three pieces of engineering set Motiva® apart from older silicone implants:

  • SmoothSilk® surface: A nano-textured shell surface designed to minimize inflammation and bacterial adhesion at the implant-tissue interface, which helps lower the risk of capsular contracture (scar tissue hardening around the implant).
  • TrueMonobloc® construction: Instead of gluing the shell, gel, and patch together as separate pieces, Motiva® fuses them into one continuous unit. This adds durability and allows for a smaller incision.
  • BluSeal® indicator: A built-in color layer that lets the surgical team visually confirm shell integrity in the operating room before the implant is ever placed.

MOTIVA® VS. OLDER-GENERATION SILICONE IMPLANTS

Features Motiva® Implants Traditional Silicone Implants
Construction Shell, gel, and patch fused into one piece (TrueMonobloc®) Assembled from separate bonded components
Surface texture Nano-textured SmoothSilk® designed to reduce inflammation Smooth or macro-textured
Capsular contracture rate Under 1% in published studies Higher across most legacy implants
Incision length Often shorter, due to the unified shell Frequently requires a longer incision
Movement ProgressiveGel® shifts and settles like natural tissue Firmer, more static
Rupture resistance Flexible shell stretches under pressure Depends heavily on generation
BIA-ALCL link No confirmed cases to date Associated mainly with older macro-textured shells
Integrity check BlueSeal® confirms the shell visually pre-placement No equivalent feature

Dr. Jonov and Dr. Nalluri walk through this comparison with every patient during consultation, since the right implant depends as much on personal anatomy as it does on the technology itself.

WHY PATIENTS CHOOSE MOTIVA® FOR BREAST AUGMENTATION?

Feels like real tissue: ProgressiveGel® is a cohesive silicone gel that responds to gravity and body position, staying rounded when standing and softening when reclined, instead of holding one fixed shape regardless of posture.

Lower complication rates: The SmoothSilk® surface is designed at the cellular level to reduce inflammation and scar tissue formation.

Less visible rippling and rupture risk: Because the TrueMonobloc® shell flexes as a single piece rather than as bonded layers, it tolerates pressure changes without weakening, which translates to fewer cases of wrinkling, rippling, or shell failure over time.

Smaller scars: A one-piece shell can often be inserted through a shorter incision than implants built from separate components.

More than a decade of global safety history: Motiva® has been implanted in patients across 80+ countries since 2010, with upwards of four million devices placed worldwide, and no confirmed cases of BIA-ALCL have been linked to the device to date.

Built to last: No implant is designed to be permanent, but many Motiva® patients keep their implants intact for 10 to 20+ years, confirmed through routine follow-up imaging.

Local, board-certified care: Patients get the benefit of Motiva®’s technology paired with surgeons who perform these procedures routinely, at a fully JCAHO-accredited facility on the Eastside, so there’s no need to cross the lake for consultations or follow-ups.

CHOOSING BETWEEN THE TWO MOTIVA® STYLES

Motiva® Implants in Bellevue currently offers two FDA-approved shapes, and Dr. Jonov and Dr. Nalluri help each patient determine which one matches her anatomy and goals.

Ergonomix® (Round Diamond): Filled with ProgressiveGel Ultima®, the softest gel in the Motiva® lineup, this implant is designed to respond to gravity, taking a fuller shape when upright and flattening gently when lying down, closely mimicking how natural breast tissue behaves. Best suited to patients prioritizing the most natural look and movement possible.

SmoothSilk® Round: Filled with the firmer ProgressiveGel Plus®, this style holds its round shape consistently regardless of body position, delivering more upper-pole fullness. It’s a strong fit for patients who want a fuller, more lifted appearance.

DO WE OFFER CUSTOMIZED SIZING?

Motiva® Implants in Kirkland offers one of the broadest implant sizing ranges available, with hundreds of possible combinations of volume, width, and projection. Rather than steering patients toward a handful of stock sizes, Dr. Jonov and Dr. Nalluri take detailed chest measurements and match the implant to each patient’s existing tissue and desired outcome, so two patients requesting a similar look might still end up with different implant specifications based on their frame.

IS MOTIVA® RIGHT FOR YOU?

Motiva® breast augmentation tends to be a good fit for healthy adults who want to:

  • Add volume or fullness
  • Restore shape lost to pregnancy, weight change, or aging
  • Correct asymmetry
  • Replace or upgrade an older implant

The FDA clears Motiva® silicone implants for augmentation in patients 22 and older, and for reconstruction or revision at any adult age. Good candidates are typically non-smokers (or willing to pause around surgery), at a stable weight, not currently pregnant or nursing, and have realistic expectations for the outcome.

Motiva® is also frequently used in revision cases, including replacing aging implants or correcting capsular contracture from a prior augmentation. For patients who aren’t ideal candidates for implants at all, Dr. Jonov and Dr. Nalluri also discuss alternatives such as fat transfer breast augmentation.

WHAT IS THE COST OF MOTIVA® IMPLANTS IN KIRKLAND AND BELLEVUE?

Pricing for Motiva® Implants in Kirkland and Bellevue at The Gallery of Cosmetic Surgery starts at $6,995. This starting cost  covers the surgeon’s fee, anesthesia, use of the surgical facility, and standard follow-up visits. However, the clinic does not bill prescription medication and any required medical clearances.

However, your actual total cost depends on the implant style and size chosen, the surgical approach used, and whether you’re combining augmentation with another procedure, such as a breast lift. Every patient receives an itemized, personalized quote during consultation, and financing is available through third-party lenders for patients who want to spread out the cost.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING MOTIVA® BREAST IMPLANT PLASTIC SURGERY?

Motiva® breast augmentation is done on an outpatient basis and typically wraps up in about an hour, with patients heading home the same day.

Consultation: You’ll go over your goals, get measured, and work with your surgeon to choose implant style, size, and profile.

Surgery day: The procedure is performed under general anesthesia by a board-certified anesthesia provider at our JCAHO-accredited facility.

Placement: Your surgeon makes a small incision, most commonly along the inframammary fold, and uses a minimal-touch technique to insert the implant. Because the TrueMonobloc® shell is a single unit, this incision is often shorter than what’s needed for older implant types. The implant is then positioned above or below the chest muscle depending on your anatomy, and the incision is closed with fine sutures.

Recovery begins: After a short observation period, you’ll head home with a caregiver the same day.

ARE THERE ANY RISKS WITH MOTIVA® IMPLANTS?

Breast augmentation, like any surgery, carries risk that includes infection, bleeding, altered nipple sensation, capsular contracture, and implant rupture. Motiva®’s design is built to reduce several of these risks compared with older implant designs, but no implant eliminates them entirely. Your surgeon reviews your personal health history and every relevant risk in detail before you consent to surgery.

WHAT RECOVERY LOOKS LIKE?

Most patients describe recovery from Motiva® breast augmentation​ as more comfortable than they expected, thanks largely to the smaller incisions and minimal-touch surgical approach.

Days 1–5

Expect swelling, tightness, and some soreness. Prescribed medication keeps discomfort manageable, and most patients are moving around the house and handling light tasks within this window.

Weeks 1–2

Many patients return to desk work during this stretch. A supportive surgical bra helps the implants settle and keeps swelling down. Heavy lifting, overhead reaching, and strenuous activity are off-limits for now.

Weeks 3–6

Swelling continues to fade and comfort steadily improves. Most patients get clearance to resume exercise and more demanding activity around week four to six.

Ongoing

We schedule follow-up visits to track healing and confirm the implants are settling as expected.

Final results

While you’ll see a noticeable change immediately, implants take 3 to 6 months to fully settle as swelling resolves and tissue relaxes, and that’s when most patients see their true final shape.

SEE REAL RESULTS

The Gallery of Cosmetic Surgery keeps an updated photo gallery of Motiva® breast implants before and after​, so patients can compare outcomes across different sizes, implant styles, and body types before making a decision. Your surgeon will also pull up cases similar to your own anatomy and goals during your consultation.

Breast Implant Replacement Cost

Breast implant replacement starts at $7,995, with the final price determined by implant type, whether a breast lift is included, and individual anatomy. A detailed, itemized quote is provided during your consultation, following a physical exam and discussion of your goals.

Financing is available through third-party medical lending partners, allowing you to spread the cost into manageable monthly payments. Our care team can review financing options during your consultation, with no obligation to proceed.

MEET YOUR TOP SURGEONS

The Gallery of Cosmetic Surgery operates a JCAHO-accredited surgical facility serving Kirkland, Bellevue, and nearby locations. Two experienced surgeons handle Motiva® breast procedures here, and patients are welcome to choose either one.

Dr. Craig Jonov

BOARD CERTIFIED COSMETIC SURGEON

Dr. Craig Jonov is a double board-certified cosmetic surgeon with two decades of focused experience in breast, body, and facial surgery. He completed a fellowship in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, and implant and injectable manufacturers have selected him to train other physicians on advanced surgical and injection technique, a reflection of the depth of his hands-on experience that’s particularly valuable for patients navigating implant exchange or revision.

Dr. Rajasekhar Nalluri

BOARD CERTIFIED PLASTIC SURGEON

Dr. Rajasekhar Nalluri has held board certification with the American Board of Plastic Surgery since 2003 and has completed more than 20,000 surgical procedures over his career, placing him among the most experienced plastic surgeons on the Eastside. His work has been featured in major media outlets including The Cosmopolitan and has been repeatedly recognized as a Castle Connolly Top Doctor. 

Both surgeons follow identical safety protocols and patient-care standards, and both perform breast augmentation, implant exchange, and revision surgery regularly. If you’re not sure who to book with, our patient care team can help match you based on scheduling and your specific goals.

WHAT OUR PATIENTS SAY

How long do Motiva® implants last?

There is no built-in expiration date, and many patients keep their Motiva® implants for 10 to 20 years or longer. Routine imaging over time confirms they remain intact.

How much downtime should I plan for?

Most patients are back at a desk job within 3–5 days and resuming light activity within two weeks. Strenuous exercise typically waits until the 4–6 week mark.

Is there a warranty on Motiva® implants?

Yes. Motiva® backs its implants with a warranty covering replacement in cases of rupture or capsular contracture, and your surgeon will walk you through coverage details, including optional extended protection, at the time of surgery.

What's the Qid® chip I've heard about?

Certain Motiva® implants include Q Inside®, a tiny FDA-cleared microtransponder storing the implant’s serial number, size, and manufacturing data. A handheld scanner can read it externally at any point, giving you permanent access to your implant records.

Will they feel like real breast tissue?

Most patients say yes. ProgressiveGel® is designed to compress and move like natural tissue, and many describe the Ergonomix® style specifically as softer than older silicone implants they’ve tried or researched.

Can I still breastfeed?

In most cases, yes. Incision location and implant placement can play a role, so if future breastfeeding matters to you, raise it during your consultation.

Are Motiva® implants MRI-safe?

Yes, including implants with the Qid® chip, which are MRI conditional. The chip may create a minor artifact on the scan, which radiologists know how to account for.

How is the implant actually placed?

Through a small incision, usually along the inframammary fold, using a minimal-touch technique. The one-piece TrueMonobloc® shell often allows for a shorter incision than older implant types require.

Can I switch from my current implants to Motiva®?

Yes. Implant exchange is a routine procedure here for patients moving from saline or older silicone implants to Motiva®. Both surgeons perform exchange and revision surgery regularly.

When will I see my final result?

You’ll notice a difference right away, but full settling takes 3 to 6 months as swelling resolves and tissue relaxes. Most patients consider the 6-month mark their true final look.
