Motiva Breast Implants
in Washington DC
Patients considering breast augmentation today want results that feel natural in daily life. The type of implant you choose directly affects how soft the breasts feel, how they move, and how natural they appear over time.
A More Refined Approach at Congressional Plastic Surgery
At Congressional Plastic Surgery, breast augmentation is performed by Dr. Christopher C. Chang, MD, a double board-certified plastic surgeon widely regarded as one of the top surgeons in Washington, DC.

What Are Motiva Breast Implants?
Motiva breast implants are silicone implants designed to look and feel more natural. They use SmoothSilk surface technology and a specialized gel that helps the implant interact more smoothly with your body. Compared to traditional implants, this surface is designed to be more biocompatible, supporting a lower inflammatory response and potentially helping reduce the risk of capsular contracture.
Another key difference is how these implants move. Most implants hold the same shape no matter your position, but Motiva Ergonomix implants adjust with your body. When you’re lying down, they appear fuller, and when you’re standing, they take on a more natural slope. This allows the breasts to move more like natural tissue instead of looking fixed or rigid.
Benefits of Motiva Breast Implants
- Capsular contracture risk: Design features may contribute to lower capsular contracture rates compared to some conventional implants, though outcomes vary by patient.
- Natural movement: Adapts to changes in body position, unlike traditional implants that remain fixed in shape.
- Soft consistency: Advanced gel composition provides a feel that more closely resembles natural breast tissue.
- SmoothSilk surface: Engineered to improve biocompatibility and support a lower inflammatory response during healing.
- Balanced contour: Creates fullness while maintaining proportion and avoiding an overly augmented appearance.
Am I a Good Candidate for Motiva Breast Implants?
Motiva implants are often a good fit for patients who want a softer, more natural look and feel, especially those who prioritize movement and proportion over a more structured or augmented appearance. The best candidates have sufficient tissue support and realistic expectations, which are evaluated during your consultation.
Breast augmentation is performed under the direction of Dr. Chang, a double board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive academic training and experience in both facial and breast procedures. His approach centers on structural planning, where implant selection is considered alongside your anatomy and tissue support to create results that look natural and remain consistent over time.
Your Consultation
Your consultation is designed to give you a clear understanding of your options. You will review implant types, sizing, and placement in the context of your anatomy, with direct guidance on how each decision will affect your final result and long-term outcome.
How Much Does It Cost?
The cost of Motiva breast implants varies based on implant type, surgical approach, and whether additional procedures are included. Pricing is outlined after consultation, once your treatment plan has been fully developed and all variables are considered.
What to Expect During Motiva Breast Implant Surgery
Motiva breast augmentation is performed under anesthesia in an accredited surgical setting. Incisions are placed in discreet locations such as the breast fold or around the areola, depending on your anatomy, and implant positioning is selected to support both appearance and long-term stability.
Positioning and symmetry are carefully adjusted during surgery to account for how the implants will settle. Closure is performed using techniques that support clean healing and refined scar placement.
Motiva Breast Implant Recovery and Results
Recovery typically includes mild swelling, tightness, and temporary changes in sensation as the body adjusts. Most patients return to light daily activity within several days, with a gradual return to normal routines over the following weeks.
Over time, the implants soften and settle into a more natural position. Results continue to refine as swelling resolves and the surrounding tissue adapts to the implant.
Types of Motiva Breast Implants
Motiva SmoothSilk® Round
This implant maintains a consistent round shape, providing defined upper fullness and a more lifted appearance. It is typically selected by patients who prefer a fuller, more structured contour.
Motiva SmoothSilk Ergonomix®
This implant is designed to adjust with movement, appearing fuller when lying down and more naturally sloped when upright. It is often chosen by patients seeking a softer, less structured result.
Breast Enhancement Options to Consider
- Breast augmentation with traditional implants: Offers a wide range of saline and silicone options for customized volume and projection.
- Breast lift: Reshapes and repositions breast tissue to address sagging and improve contour.
- Breast revision surgery: Adjusts or corrects previous augmentation results.
- Fat transfer to the breast: Provides subtle volume using your own tissue without implants.
- Tuberous breast correction: Reshapes and expands constricted breast tissue to improve symmetry and overall contour.

"I have never felt so confident. Dr. Chang completely changed how I saw myself in the mirror. I was terribly self conscious of my nose from my youth and finally decided to go through with the surgery. Not only was it inexpensive compared to the other three doctors I contacted, the before and after pictures of patients were also much better looking than the others! The whole process of surgery and recovery was quick and pretty much painless. I would definitely recommend him to anyone wanting cosmetic surgery. It really made me a happier person." - Catherine M.

He went above and beyond to make me comfortable and to explain exactly what the procedures (lift + implants) would entail. He was extremely responsive and truly understood the look that I was trying to achieve - full, natural for my frame, and with minimal scarring.
