Motiva Preservé Featured on Channel 4: What North East Patients Should Know

Motiva Preservé breast augmentation is receiving national attention after appearing on Channel 4’s Surgery Secrets of the Super Rich.

The programme gives viewers an inside look at some of the latest developments in cosmetic surgery, including a modern breast augmentation technique designed to reduce disruption to the natural breast tissue.

Although Mr Ross McLean and Enova Surgery were not involved in the programme, Ross is the first and only surgeon offering the same Motiva Preservé technique in the North East.

What Is Motiva Preservé Breast Augmentation?

Motiva Preservé is a modern approach to breast augmentation that places a strong emphasis on preserving the patient’s natural breast structures.

During traditional breast augmentation, the surgeon must create a pocket for the implant. Motiva Preservé uses gentle tissue dilation techniques to create this space while minimising unnecessary disruption to surrounding nerves, blood vessels and breast tissue.

The technique also allows the implant to be inserted through an incision that is usually smaller than the incision associated with traditional breast augmentation.

For suitable patients, this lower impact approach may result in less post operative discomfort and a smoother recovery. However, individual experiences and recovery times will always differ.

Why Was Motiva Preservé Featured on Channel 4?

Surgery Secrets of the Super Rich explores newer treatments and surgical techniques that are attracting attention within cosmetic medicine.

The Motiva Preservé procedure featured in the programme may sometimes be referred to as an awake or lunchtime breast augmentation because the surgery can, in certain circumstances, be performed without a general anaesthetic.

However, breast augmentation remains a significant surgical decision. It should not be treated as a quick beauty treatment or something that can be chosen without careful consideration.

A detailed consultation, appropriate medical assessment and properly planned aftercare remain essential, regardless of the surgical technique being used.

How Does Motiva Preservé Differ From Traditional Breast Augmentation?

Several features distinguish Motiva Preservé from more traditional approaches.

The procedure uses gentle tissue dilation rather than extensive cutting to create the implant pocket. This is intended to protect more of the patient’s existing breast anatomy.

The implants can also be inserted using a sterile sleeve, meaning the surgeon does not need to handle the implant directly during placement.

Motiva Ergonomix2 implants are designed to move naturally with the body, helping to create a soft and natural looking result where clinically appropriate.

Incisions are typically smaller, although their final size and position will depend on the patient’s anatomy, implant choice and individual surgical plan.

Who Is Suitable for Motiva Preservé?

Motiva Preservé will not be the best choice for every person considering breast augmentation.

Suitability can depend on factors including:

The amount and quality of existing breast tissue

Skin elasticity

The size and profile of the desired implant

Existing breast shape or asymmetry

Previous breast surgery

General health and medical history

Expectations for the final result

Some patients may be better suited to a traditional breast augmentation, breast uplift or a combination of procedures.

This is why the consultation process is so important. Ross will assess your anatomy, listen to what you would like to achieve and explain the different options available without pressuring you to proceed.

Motiva Preservé in the North East

Mr Ross McLean is a Consultant Cosmetic and Oncoplastic Breast Surgeon with extensive experience in cosmetic and reconstructive breast surgery.

He is currently the first and only surgeon offering Motiva Preservé in the North East, allowing patients to explore the technique without travelling to London or Manchester for their surgery and follow up care.

Patients receive a personal treatment plan based on their body, their priorities and the safest way to achieve an appropriate result.
