Chicago, Illinois — Dr. Otto J. Placik, a leading plastic surgeon in Chicago, has introduced the Motiva Preserve breast augmentation technique to patients across Illinois and the Midwest. Known for his precision in complex breast revisions, Dr. Placik has been recognized as a Castle Connolly Top Doctor for 14 consecutive years.
The Motiva Preserve technique emphasizes tissue preservation, protecting natural breast structures, maintaining nipple sensation, and minimizing muscle disruption. Compared to traditional methods, the approach uses smaller incisions and supports faster recovery.
The procedure begins with detailed anatomical measurements to tailor the surgical plan. Through a small incision in the inframammary fold, a Motiva Channel Separator creates a precise tunnel without cutting breast tissue.
A Motiva Inflatable Balloon then gently forms the implant pocket, allowing the implant to be placed while preserving breast function and structural integrity.
Preserve breast augmentation uses Motiva SmoothSilk Ergonomix implants, designed to mimic the natural shape and movement of breasts. Lying down, the implants appear round; standing, they take on a teardrop shape. Clinical studies show excellent stability, with no cases of inferior malposition at three years, along with low inflammation and complication rates.
Ideal candidates include patients seeking primary augmentation, augmentation with a mild breast lift, or those with sufficient breast tissue thickness. Dr. Placik’s expertise in complex cases ensures careful evaluation and individualized treatment plans.
Dr. Placik, affiliated with Northwest Community Hospital and Evanston Northwestern Healthcare (now part of Endeavor Health), has trained extensively in New York City and continues to advance surgical techniques through research and academic contributions.
By introducing Motiva Preserve in Chicago, he expands modern, tissue-preserving breast augmentation options for patients seeking precision and innovation.
