Motiva or Natrelle Breast Implants: Which is Right for You?

Natrelle or Motiva Breast Implants: Which Is Right for You?

Choosing the right breast implant is a key part of your breast augmentation journey. At Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery, we offer two of the most trusted implant brands on the market: Motiva® and Natrelle®. Both provide beautiful, long-lasting results, but each has unique features that may make it better suited to your individual goals and lifestyle.

Our board-certified plastic surgeons, Dr. Peter Butler, Dr. Jocelyn Leveque, and Dr. Nathan Patterson, are here to guide you in selecting the implant that’s perfect for you.

1. Aesthetic Results

Natrelle® Implants

Natrelle offers a wide variety of styles, profiles, and gel firmness levels. Whether you want a soft, understated enhancement or a fuller, more structured look, Natrelle’s extensive customization options help you achieve your ideal shape.

Motiva® Implants

Designed to mimic natural breast tissue, Motiva’s Ergonomix implants adjust their shape with your body’s movement, offering a natural, teardrop appearance when standing and a rounder shape when lying down. The result? A soft, subtle, and natural-looking enhancement.

2. Implant Texture & Technology

Natrelle implants feature a smooth outer shell designed to lower the risk of complications such as capsular contracture.  Motiva implants have a very light, “nano” texturing, which manufacturers claim helps reduce the risk of capsule contracture. (That said, both have a low risk of complications.)  Motiva and Natrelle implants are traceable using serial number tracking and are covered by robust warranty programs.

3. Shape, Size & Projection Options

Natrelle implants come in an extensive selection of sizes, five profiles, and three gel firmness levels:   

• Projection Profiles: Low, Low Plus, Moderate, Full, Extra Full

• Gel Options: Three levels of gel cohesivity provide for different shaping and firmness, allowing for exceptional flexibility and precise tailoring to your body and aesthetic goals.

Motiva features three projection profiles and two shape options:

• Shape Options: Ergonomix® (natural movement) and Round (enhanced upper volume)

• Projection Profiles: Mini, Demi, Full

Motiva focuses on anatomical responsiveness and a soft, lifelike feel.

4. Safety & FDA Approval

Natrelle

As one of the most widely used implant brands in the United States and internationally, Natrelle was approved by the FDA in 2006. It has an extensive safety record, along with a long history of reliable results.

Motiva

While Motiva received FDA approval in 2024, these implants have been in use worldwide since 2010.  Motiva implants have been extensively studied and have proven to be a safe option for breast augmentation.
