Motiva SmoothSilk Surface

The long answer is a bit more complicated. Only macrotextured implants  (like the Allergan 410 and 468 implants) are associated with illnesses like Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (ALCL). As Motiva implants are classified by the FDA as "4 micron SilkSurface devices", there are no cases of MOTIVA implants being associated with this illness.

The Motiva implant has a 4 micron SmoothSilk surface which affords it some rather unique properties. As compared to traditional smooth as well as macrotextured implants, Motiva implants have been shown to have a lower incidence of bacterial adherence to its surface. There is insignificant particulate shedding due to implant wear. There is less inflammatory cell mediation. All this translates to a lower amount of inflammation and tissue reaction between Motiva implants and the body, leading to thinner capsules (the normal scar tissue that forms around ALL breast implants and other implanted medical devices), and a lower rate of capsule contracture in published studies. When compared to other breast implants, Motiva safety data demonstrates a lower rate of capsule contracture, implant rupture and other complications leading to a future revision of your breast augmentation.
