I am sharing my experience so that other patients can make informed decisions.
I received Motiva breast implants in 2022. These implants were only in my body for approximately three years before they were removed in December 2025. As someone who was active and regularly lifted weights, I never expected to be dealing with two ruptured implants after such a short period of time.
Within the first year after surgery, I began experiencing significant health issues and symptoms that concerned me. I sought medical care and have documentation showing that I reported problems and was attempting to obtain specialist evaluation during that first year. Unfortunately, there was no simple way to determine exactly what was causing my symptoms at the time, and I was required to go through insurance approvals, specialist referrals, and long wait times before surgery could be scheduled.
During that period, I felt extremely unwell and struggled with ongoing symptoms. I repeatedly sought answers but was forced to wait for the medical system to move forward.
When my implants were ultimately removed in December 2025, both implants were found to be ruptured. What was especially concerning was their condition. They did not even appear to be the same type of implant. One implant contained silicone that was yellow in color and had a soft, gelatin-like consistency, almost like jello. The other appeared much whiter, clearer, and significantly firmer. The difference between the two implants was striking.
My surgeon was concerned enough by their appearance that he contacted Motiva out of medical curiosity. According to my understanding, representatives who came to examine and collect the implants were surprised by their condition. Based on the unusual appearance and significant differences between the implants, questions were raised about whether the implants could be counterfeit or otherwise abnormal.
My biggest disappointment has been with the warranty process. I believed the warranty would provide meaningful protection in the event of implant failure. However, because my surgery occurred after the reimbursement period expired, I was informed that I would not receive financial assistance for the costs associated with removing the ruptured implants. While replacement implants may have been available, I had no interest in receiving another set of implants and instead chose explantation.
My concern is simple: implants that were only about three years old should not, in my opinion, have resulted in two ruptured implants. I experienced significant symptoms within the first year, sought medical care, documented my concerns, and ultimately learned that both implants had ruptured. Yet because the surgery itself occurred after the reimbursement period, I was left responsible for the costs.
I encourage anyone considering breast implants to carefully review the warranty terms, understand the difference between implant replacement and reimbursement benefits, and keep detailed records from the first sign of any problem.
