Are Motiva Ergonomix2 implants used in Australia yet?

Question

To all the Aussie surgeons, Has anybody in Australia started using the Motiva Ergonomix2 implants as yet? They are TGA approved since 2025, but I am yet to come across a surgeon who has used them in their surgeries. Thanks

Yily De Los Santos, MD · Answer

Yes, Motiva Ergonomix2 implants have been approved in Australia. The Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) lists the Motiva Ergonomix2 SmoothSilk implant in the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods, with approval dated June 20, 2025.

However, approval and widespread clinical availability are not always the same thing. Although the implant is approved, adoption by surgeons can take time due to inventory rollout, training, surgeon preference, and existing implant contracts. This may explain why many patients in Australia are still reporting difficulty finding surgeons actively using Ergonomix2.

It is a very valid observation as there is often a noticeable transition period between the regulatory approval of an advanced medical device and its widespread adoption in clinical practice. Following the TGA approval of the Motiva Ergonomix2 implants, early-adopting plastic surgeons across Australia have indeed begun incorporating them into their breast augmentation and revision procedures. The slower initial rollout you are noticing is quite standard, as clinics must establish new supply chains and surgeons often undergo specific technical onboarding to familiarize themselves with the updated gel rheology and shell characteristics before offering them broadly. If you are specifically interested in this generation of implants for your own procedure, my suggestion is to directly ask board-certified plastic surgeons during your initial consultations about their specific timeline for adopting the Ergonomix2, as many premium practices keep them in stock or can readily order them for your surgical plan.

Approval and actual surgeon use are two different things. Motiva Ergonomix2 has an Australian ARTG listing, but that only means the implant can be supplied in Australia; it does not mean it is already common in every operating room or that every practice has the full size and profile range available.

New implant lines often roll out gradually while distributors release stock, practices update inventory, and surgeons decide whether the new option adds enough benefit over implants they already know well. If you are specifically looking for Ergonomix2, ask practices directly whether they have used it in primary breast augmentation, which sizes/profiles are currently available, and what their backup implant choice would be if your preferred size is not in stock.

The safest choice is not simply the newest implant. It is a surgeon who can explain why a particular implant fits your anatomy and goals, and who has a clear plan for size, pocket, incision, and follow-up.

I didn't know if I should answer this question clearly. If I were to convey what I know. SmoothSilk implants received TGA approval in 2025, but I still haven't come across a surgeon who uses them in routine practice. (Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA))
In particular, the more advanced gel structure, increased elasticity and natural movement properties of the implant seem to be quite promising in theory. Motiva's new “SuperSilicones” and ProgressiveGel Ultima technologies are also remarkable. Clearly motivation is a good company (motiva.health)
However, there have been TGA examinations and regulatory warnings in Australia due to MRI artifacts related to some older Motiva implant models containing QID/RFID; so I think many surgeons approach it cautiously. (apps.tga.gov.au)
If you are starting to use:
* capsule contracture observations,
* implant mobility,
* upper pole behavior,
* patient satisfaction
And I would love to hear your experiences in terms of long-term feeling.
Thank you.
