Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Preservé™

What exactly is Preservé™ and how does it differ from traditional breast augmentation?
Preservé™ is the pioneering breast tissue preservation technique created by Dr. Manuel Chacón. Unlike standard augmentation, Preservé™ introduces a low-trauma surgical approach that conserves native breast tissue and long-term sensitivity, delivering more authentic outcomes with a quicker recovery.
Does Preservé™ use implants? What type?
Yes. Preservé™ incorporates the latest-generation Motiva SmoothSilk Ergonomix2® implants, engineered for an exceptionally soft, uniform feel, natural appearance and movement, optimal tissue expansion, and placement through reduced incisions.
Is it truly less invasive than conventional surgery?
Absolutely. Preservé™ respects the body's inherent anatomical structures, minimizing surgical impact. The result is less pain, less swelling, and a considerably faster healing process.
Do the results look more natural with Preservé™?
Without question. By maintaining Cooper's ligaments and working in harmony with the breast's natural architecture, Preservé™ delivers fluid, proportional movement and a fully organic aesthetic.
What does 'breast tissue preservation' actually mean?
It means retaining as much of your original breast tissue as possible while causing the least possible disruption to your body's natural support framework. Your biological integrity is maintained throughout.
Can anyone undergo Preservé™, or are there specific requirements?
Suitable candidates include women considering primary breast augmentation or mastopexy. During consultation, Dr. Chacón and his certified team assess your anatomy, skin condition, medical background, and personal goals to confirm whether you are an ideal candidate.
Can Preservé™ be used for mastopexy (breast lift)?
Absolutely. Preservé™ is highly effective for mastopexy patients, and many achieve outcomes that surpass what conventional techniques can offer.
Is recovery with Preservé™ faster than with traditional surgery?
Dramatically faster. Compared to the 4–6 weeks typical of traditional procedures, most Preservé™ patients are back to their normal activities within 7–10 days.
Does Preservé™ reduce post-operative risks or complications?
Yes. The less invasive, anatomy-respecting nature of Preservé™ is associated with lower incidence of complications including capsular contracture, chronic discomfort, and implant displacement.
Where are the scars with Preservé™? Are they smaller?
Incisions are usually placed in the inframammary fold or periareolar region and tend to be smaller than those required by conventional techniques.
Does Preservé™ avoid the artificial look?
Precisely. Because the ligaments are preserved and natural anatomy respected, the firm, rounded, or artificial look often linked to traditional augmentation simply does not occur.
Do Preservé™ results last longer over time?
Yes. Conserving the breast's innate support network allows results to remain stable and well-positioned far more reliably over the long term.
Is Preservé™ more expensive than conventional surgery?
Given that Preservé™ spares tissue, shortens recovery, leaves the muscle intact, and hides scars discreetly, it represents extraordinary value. The advantages far outweigh the investment.
