On this information page, we explain why doctors at Wellness Kliniek choose Motiva breast implants.

In recent years, there has been much attention on the relationship between breast implants and the development of certain diseases. These reports can understandably raise concerns among women with breast implants. At Wellness Kliniek, we understand this unease and follow the guidelines of the Dutch Health Inspectorate, Ministry of Public Health to provide the best possible information.

This choice of Motiva is based on extensive research and our commitment to the safety and satisfaction of our patients. Motiva implants are known for their innovative design and safety features, making them an excellent choice for women considering breast augmentation.

Read about Motiva implants

We believe it is essential that women considering breast implants have access to clear, reliable information. That is why the doctors at Wellness Clinic offer detailed information and personal consultations to ensure that every woman can make an informed choice.

Find out more about the features of Motiva implants and read why and when the doctors at Wellness Kliniek choose Motiva or MonoBloc SoftOne breast prostheses. Our choice is made to put your safety and well-being first.

When to choose Motiva implants?

Motiva offers a wide range of sizes and shapes. The manufacturer offers different types of implants, with the best choice being tailored to the patient's needs. For example, there is a choice of drop-shaped implants (Motiva Anatomical TrueFixation Implants), round implants (Motiva Round Implants), and prostheses that shape extra well to the body (Motiva Ergonomix implants).

In addition to Motiva implants, Arion Monobloc implants are a reliable alternative. However, the range of round silicone Monobloc implants is limited to 550cc. French Monobloc implants are an excellent choice for any woman seeking breast augmentation up to 550cc. Monobloc has been on the market for 30 years with no problems. Wellness Kliniek has over 25 years of experience with Monobloc prostheses and has helped thousands of women with breast augmentation.

During a no-obligation consultation, the doctor will advise you personally which size and type of implants best suits your body and wishes.

Are Motiva implants safe?

Motiva implants are manufactured by Establishment Labs, a company based in Alajuela, Costa Rica. Although they originate in Costa Rica, Motiva implants are available and recognised worldwide. They are approved for use in numerous countries, making them a popular choice for both plastic surgeons and patients around the world.

Motiva implants are filled with solid, highly cohesive gel. The prosthesis is designed in such a way that the risk of leakage is low.

The manufacturer gives a 10-year warranty on Motiva implants. The doctors at Wellness Kliniek have more than 5 years of experience with this brand.

Information about Motiva implants

Motiva breast implants have the following properties.

  • Moulds to the body: The filling is made of soft, cohesive gel. As a result, the prosthesis moulds well to the body for a beautiful and natural effect.
  • Choice of different shapes: teardrop, round and flexible. The new Motiva Ergonomix adapts to the body's movements.
  • Minimal risk of leakage: the clever design of Motiva prostheses ensures minimal risk of leakage.
  • Small scar: Motiva implants are highly elastic and therefore relatively easy to insert using the MIBIS technique developed by Wellness Kliniek. This requires a minimal incision and the operation takes a very short time, promoting fast recovery and a beautiful result.

What are the health risks associated with Motiva breast implants?

Breast implants are the subject of research regarding possible health risks, including a rare form of cancer known as breast implant-associated anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL). BIA-ALCL is not the same as breast cancer; it is a rare form of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Current science suggests that the risk of developing BIA-ALCL is relatively low, but it is still considered a concern to report to women with breast implants or who are considering getting them.

Is there a recall on Motiva?

At Wellness Kliniek, you are in safe hands. This also means that we will immediately alert you personally should there be a recall on your implant. A recall of breast implants refers to the recall of implants by the manufacturer or health authorities, usually due to safety issues or defects that may affect patients' health. Although infrequent, such recalls happen when there is evidence of risks. Wellness Kliniek has never had a recall on breast implants in its +25 years of existence, and we are proud of that!

Frequently asked questions about Motiva implants

When should you choose Motiva breast implants?

Motiva breast implants are a good choice if you are looking for a modern and safe implant option with a natural-feeling result. They are known for their soft texture, a natural-looking breast shape and an implant that adapts well to your body’s posture. They are often chosen for a variety of body types and preferences, ranging from a subtle enhancement to greater volume and projection. Thanks to the different ranges, such as Ergonomix and the more affordable Round Implants SmoothSilk, the result can be precisely tailored to the patient’s preferences and budget.

Which Motiva implants are available at Wellness Kliniek?

At Wellness Kliniek, the Motiva range includes options for Motiva Ergonomix 1, Motiva Ergonomix 2 and Motiva Round with a SmoothSilk finish. Which of these types of Motiva implants is the best choice for you will become clear during a no-obligation consultation. The doctor can advise you personally on which type of implant best suits your body and preferences.

Motiva Round - SmoothSilk: This round Motiva implant with a SilkSurface texture provides extra volume and projection in the upper part of the breast. The result is a full décolleté with a distinct, rounder effect. Particularly suitable if you are looking for a more visible and expressive result.

Motiva Ergonomix: Motiva Ergonomix implants (also known as Ergonomix 1) are designed to adapt naturally to your body’s posture. They provide a gentle, subtle enhancement and are ideal if you prefer a natural-looking result with harmonious volume.

Motiva Ergonomix 2: Ergonomix 2 is the new generation from Motiva. It has the same look as the Ergonomix 1, but features a slightly more supple implant and a newer shell/gel for an even more natural appearance. This option is suitable if you wish to maintain both a natural feel and attractive volume, even with larger implants.

Have you heard of Preservé and JOY in connection with Motiva? These are not separate types of Motiva implants. Preservé refers to a minimally invasive surgical technique where the aim is to preserve as much tissue as possible. JOY is a patient programme. Motiva Ergonomix 2 implants are often chosen for both Preservé and JOY.

Are Motiva Ergonomix implants suitable for a natural-looking result?

Yes, absolutely! Motiva Ergonomix implants, just like Arion’s Monobloc SoftOne, have been specifically developed to look and feel natural. Thanks to their special gel structure, they move with the body and conform well to the natural shape of the breast. That is why they are often chosen by women who do not want a ‘visible implant look’, but rather a subtle and soft enhancement.

What is the difference between Motiva Round SmoothSilk and Motiva Ergonomix?

Motiva Round SmoothSilk and Motiva Ergonomix are both high-quality silicone breast implants from Motiva, but they produce different results. Motiva Round SmoothSilk primarily provides greater volume and projection in the upper part of the breast. It is ideal for women who want a fuller cleavage and a striking result. Would you prefer a slightly more subtle result with as natural a look as possible? Motiva Ergonomix has been developed to adapt to the body’s movements. When you stand upright, the gel distributes itself in such a way as to support the natural shape of the breast. During a consultation, the doctor will help you determine which implant best suits your body type and expectations.

What is the difference between Motiva Ergonomix 1 and Motiva Ergonomix 2?

Motiva Ergonomix 1 and Motiva Ergonomix 2 are both designed to achieve a natural-looking result, but Ergonomix 2 is the latest generation. Motiva Ergonomix 1 offers a soft, natural appearance and moves with the body. The implant is popular with women who want a subtle breast augmentation. Motiva Ergonomix 2 builds on these features and utilises updated implant technology. The implant provides even greater softness, flexibility and natural movement. Although Motiva Ergonomix 2 is a successor model, this does not automatically mean it is the best implant for every patient. It depends, amongst other things, on your own preferences, the volume and result you wish to achieve, and your current anatomy. This will be discussed in detail with you during a no-obligation consultation. You will receive honest advice!

What is the ‘préservé’ technique for inserting Motiva breast implants?

The Motiva ‘préservé’ technique was developed specifically for inserting Motiva implants filled with cohesive silicone gel. The ‘préservé’ (French for ‘preserving’) method is mainly used for subtle breast augmentations and has the advantage of preserving as much breast tissue and nerve supply as possible. It also preserves the natural anatomy as much as possible and keeps scarring to a minimum (although slightly larger than with the MIBIS method, which we also frequently use, but considerably smaller than with traditional breast augmentation). The minimally invasive technique also ensures a relatively quick recovery. The doctor will assess which placement method (préservé or MIBIS) will give you the best result. You can ask any questions you may have during a no-obligation consultation.

What are the possible side effects of Motiva implants?

As with any breast augmentation procedure, side effects or complications can occur with Motiva implants, although fortunately these are rare. Possible complications may include: capsular contracture (hardening around the implant), tenderness or pain in the breasts, asymmetry or a change in shape, rippling, displacement, rotation or the implant being palpable. Always contact your doctor at Wellness Kliniek if you experience any complications.

Can I have my Motiva breast implants checked at Wellness Kliniek?

Absolutely! If you had your Motiva implants fitted by us, you can come in for a free check-up. Even if you had your implants fitted elsewhere (whether they are Motiva or another brand), you can come to us for a second opinion or a check-up.

The doctors at Wellness Kliniek recommend having a check-up at least once every 10 years using an ultrasound or MRI scan, and replacing your breast implants if necessary. If at any time you have concerns about the quality, placement, pain, swelling, capsular contracture or anything else, please contact Wellness Kliniek to make an appointment or arrange a breast ultrasound scan with a radiologist (on referral from your GP or specialist). An MRI scan at a hospital or a specialist MRI centre is recommended if you wish to detect a rupture.

Can I have my current implants replaced with Motiva implants at Wellness Kliniek?

Yes, Wellness Kliniek is renowned, amongst other things, for secondary breast augmentation, implant replacement and second opinions following an initial breast augmentation, as the team performs a large number of breast surgeries each year. Patients often come here after a disappointing result elsewhere, seeking honest advice on size, shape, scarring and whether an implant replacement is necessary. When performing an implant replacement, the surgeons consider not only the new implants but also the capsular contracture, tissue quality and the possibility of achieving a more natural or better-fitting result. Thanks to this combination of experience, a dedicated team of breast surgeons and clear aftercare, many women feel confident about having revision surgery there. Anyone who has doubts following a previous breast augmentation can contact Wellness Kliniek for a second opinion, with no obligation to undergo surgery.

What is Motiva JOY? A better implant or a different technique?

Motiva JOY is not a different implant, but an additional service and warranty programme for Motiva Ergonomix 2. At Wellness Kliniek, you’ll receive Ergonomix 2 and a tissue-preserving, minimally invasive insertion as standard, at no extra cost. The Motiva JOY package, developed by Motiva itself, primarily adds additional warranty terms to this.

Is the operation different at JOY? What exactly is the difference, then?

No, the operation is no different. The doctors at Wellness Kliniek always use tissue-preserving and minimally invasive techniques. This technique is standard practice in our approach and is not an extra at Wellness Kliniek. The difference between having JOY and not having it lies in more comprehensive warranty terms (such as the 5-year extended warranty) and, provided you register in time, extras such as the Woman’s Choice programme.

Why is JOY more expensive? Is Motiva JOY worth it?

Only if you value the extra financial security offered by Motiva. You aren’t paying for a better or different type of implant, or a different surgical technique, but for Motiva’s premium warranty package. There is no difference in terms of the appearance, the softness of the implant or the surgical technique. Still unsure? Feel free to choose the cheaper standard breast augmentation option with Ergonomix 2, as it offers the same medical and aesthetic foundation.

What does Motiva JOY offer in addition to the standard warranty provided by Motiva and the Wellness Kliniek?

The standard Motiva warranty (also applicable to Ergonomix 2, without the JOY surcharge) covers:

  • Lifetime replacement of the implant in the event of a proven rupture (Always Confident, usually confirmed by MRI);
  • Up to 10 years’ replacement of the implant in the event of Baker III/IV capsular contracture.

You will receive a new implant if the claim is valid: a demonstrable rupture or Baker III/IV capsular contracture, a recognisable serial number/UDI, and placement carried out in accordance with the guidelines by a qualified surgeon. This may take place in another country or with another doctor, provided Motiva approves the claim. You will be responsible for the surgical costs of the revision procedure.

The Motiva JOY package adds two financial benefits to this (following registration with Motiva within 90 days):

  • 5-year extended warranty: in the event of a tear or Baker III/IV within 5 years, up to approximately 2,500 euros towards the cost of reoperation, in addition to a new implant.
  • Woman’s Choice: if the implants are removed under the specified conditions, up to approximately 1,500 dollars in support, usually up to 2 years after insertion.

Wellness Kliniek is in a league of its own: a new implant and the cost of the operation are both covered. So you don’t need to buy an extra package for peace of mind: a 10-year warranty on your implant and 3 years’ free revision surgery are included. That’s why so many women choose Wellness Kliniek.

Do I need to do anything to activate the warranty?

At Wellness Kliniek, we automatically register all implants in the patient’s name, using the unique serial number, regardless of the brand or type. You will also be given an implant card containing all the unique details of your prosthesis. The standard warranty terms and conditions of the manufacturer and of Wellness Kliniek apply to every type of implant (such as Ergonomix 2) and do not require any additional registration by the patient.

  • Motiva standard warranty = automatic, no further action required.
  • Motiva JOY package add-on = separate activation (for the extended warranty) by the patient within 90 days.
