Hi, Doctor suggested motiva textured round implant of 265cc. Incision using funnel tech at armpit. Implant placed over the muscle. He mention that latest motiva have more layers and so its harder for capsular contracture to occur. I would like to ask if the overall diagnosis is agreeable . Doctor did also mention that it is not advisable for me to go above 265cc as i was quite thin. Lastly, i am thinking of reporting to work 1 week later . Will it be fine to do so?

Answer: Beware of Motiva implants - not FDA approved First, Motiva implants are FDA cleared (which means the FDA recognizes they are similar to other devices that are currently approved), but not FDA approved (which means the FDA has examined all the data in terms of safety and put their hand of benediction on them). If Motiva does not get FDA approval, then they will no longer be sold in the US and your warranty will be worthless.Second, I don't understand the 265cc recommendation. It doesn't make a lot of sense that to go a little larger will put you at significantly higher risk (such as rippling). Either you are a candidate for over the muscle or you are not. In other words, you need a certain amount of upper breast thickness to minimize your risk of visible rippling.Third, we have no idea what you look like or what you see as the end result. 265cc is not much of an augmentation. My advice; consider seeking another PS who uses FDA approved implants by #Sientra,# Allergan, or #Mentor and be sure he or she has a lot of experience with breast augmentation (especially over the muscle if that is what you are considering).
