Precision-Focused Care at Congressional Plastic Surgery

Breast augmentation is led by Dr. Christopher C. Chang and Dr. Hillary Jenny, two highly respected names in aesthetic plastic surgery across the Washington, DC metro area.

Both surgeons bring exceptional academic rigor and technical precision to every surgical plan. Dr. Chang is a double board-certified plastic surgeon trained at Harvard, NYU, Yale, and Johns Hopkins with over 80 peer-reviewed publications. Dr. Jenny completed her training at MIT, Mount Sinai, and Johns Hopkins before undergoing specialized aesthetic surgery fellowship training in Beverly Hills. Together, they bring a research-driven, methodical mindset to breast augmentation—centered not just on immediate appearance, but on structural integrity and how a result holds up gracefully over the years ahead.

Additionally, Dr. Chang offers specialized expertise with Motiva® implants, having been selected for an exclusive visit to Motiva's headquarters in Costa Rica. His firsthand, behind-the-scenes insight into their implant design, manufacturing processes, and ongoing research allows our team to offer unmatched guidance to patients weighing their implant choices.

What Are Motiva Breast Implants?

Motiva implants represent a shift in how silicone implants are engineered, with an emphasis on achieving a result that's difficult to distinguish from natural tissue. Central to this is the brand's SmoothSilk surface, paired with a specially formulated gel that allows the implant to coexist with surrounding tissue more harmoniously than older implant generations. This surface technology is linked to a milder inflammatory response during healing, a factor that may help lower the odds of developing capsular contracture.

What truly sets these implants apart, though, is how they behave as you move through your day. Standard implants stay rigidly shaped no matter your posture. Still, Motiva's Ergonomix line is engineered to respond to gravity and position, appearing fuller when you recline and adopting a softer, more sloped profile once you're upright. The effect is a far more lifelike range of motion than conventional implants can replicate.

The Preserve Technique:  Protecting Implants During Placement

How an implant is physically inserted plays a significant role in long-term outcomes, which is why Congressional Plastic Surgery incorporates Motiva's Preserve technique during surgery. This no-touch, funnel-guided insertion method minimizes contact between the implant surface and skin, instruments, or breast tissue throughout placement. Reducing this contact helps lower the risk of bacterial exposure, a known contributor to complications like capsular contracture. For Chevy Chase patients focused on durable, long-term results, this careful insertion protocol is just as important as the implant itself.

Benefits of Motiva Breast Implants

  • Reduced Risk of Capsular Contracture: Patients may experience a lower likelihood of capsular contracture with these implants compared to some conventional options, though every patient's results differ.
  • Natural, Body-Responsive Movement: Rather than maintaining a fixed shape, these implants adjust as your body shifts and changes position throughout the day.
  • A More Authentic Feel: An advanced gel core gives these implants a texture that feels remarkably close to natural breast tissue.
  • Biocompatible SmoothSilk Surface: This surface technology is designed to work in harmony with your body, minimizing inflammation during the healing process.
  • A Naturally Proportioned Outcome: Volume is added in a way that enhances your figure without creating an artificial or excessively augmented appearance.

Am I a Good Candidate for Motiva Breast Implants?

If your priority is a result that feels soft, moves naturally, and avoids a rigid or overly sculpted look, Motiva implants are likely worth discussing. Good candidates typically have adequate breast tissue to support the implant and a grounded, realistic sense of their desired outcome, both of which your surgeon will evaluate closely during your consultation.

At our Chevy Chase office, every augmentation is performed under Dr. Chang's direction, drawing on his extensive academic background and hands-on experience across facial and breast procedures alike. His surgical philosophy treats implant choice as one piece of a larger structural puzzle, weighed carefully against your unique anatomy and tissue quality to produce results that look authentic and age well.

How Much Does It Cost?

Several factors influence the total cost of Motiva breast implants, including the specific implant selected, your surgical approach, and whether you're pairing augmentation with any complementary procedures. A precise quote follows your consultation, once your personalized treatment plan is finalized.

What to Expect During Motiva Breast Implant Surgery

Your procedure takes place under anesthesia within an accredited surgical facility. Incisions are strategically placed in low-visibility areas, commonly the breast fold or around the areola, chosen based on your individual anatomy. At the same time, implant placement is determined with both aesthetic outcome and long-term stability in mind.

During surgery, your surgeon fine-tunes positioning and symmetry with an eye toward how the implants will ultimately settle once healing is complete. Incision closure relies on techniques chosen specifically to encourage smooth healing and keep resulting scars as discreet as possible.

Motiva Breast Implant Recovery and Results

In the days following surgery, you can expect some swelling, a sensation of tightness, and temporary shifts in sensitivity as your body adapts to its new implants. Most patients are comfortable with light activity again within a matter of days, steadily progressing back to their usual routine over the weeks that follow.

As the weeks pass, the implants continue to soften and shift into a more natural, relaxed position. Your final results sharpen into focus gradually, as swelling fades completely and the tissue surrounding the implant adjusts.

Types of Motiva Breast Implants

Motiva SmoothSilk Round

Holding a steady, round profile regardless of your body position, this implant style emphasizes upper pole fullness and a noticeably lifted look. It tends to appeal to patients who prefer a more structured, defined silhouette.

Motiva SmoothSilk Ergonomix

Built to respond to your body's movement, this implant appears fuller when reclining and adopts a more gently sloped shape while standing. Patients hoping for a softer, less rigidly structured outcome often choose this style.

Breast Enhancement Options to Consider

Saline or Silicone Augmentation

An extensive selection of traditional implant options lets you customize both the volume and projection of your results.

Breast Lift

For breasts affected by sagging, a lift repositions and reshapes existing tissue to restore a more contoured, youthful shape.

Breast Revision Surgery

If a previous augmentation didn't achieve your desired outcome, revision surgery offers a path to correct or improve those results.

Fat Transfer to the Breast

Using fat harvested from your own body, this technique adds gentle, natural volume without the need for an implant.

Tuberous Breast Correction

This procedure reshapes constricted breast tissue, improving both symmetry and overall breast contour.

"I went to Dr. Chang to correct the damage done to my breasts from pregnancy and breastfeeding. 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. I'm only two days out from surgery, and I'm already loving my results. I am so glad that I chose Dr. Chang to restore my chest to its pre-baby appearance. I actually think they are going to be better than they ever were before I had kids!"

"I had a consultation with two other surgeons before I met Dr. Chang. I always wanted a breast augmentation done, but didn't want to rush, so I took my time finding the best doctor in this area. Some doctors will put in whatever cc’s you ask for just to please you, and that's exactly what my second doctor wanted to do. I am very petite, and the size I thought I wanted would have been too extreme for my figure. Dr. Chang and his nurse, Kelly, not only made me feel extremely comfortable, but they also listened to what I wanted and explained every single step. Dr. Chang has his 24-hour recovery program, which definitely helped me tremendously. I got my surgery on Thursday and was back to my normal routine by Saturday. If you do what he says, you will see the results. I thought my boobs were going to be up extremely high the first week, but mine looked perfect, and now that they have dropped a bit, no one can tell I got a boob job... I mean, my boobs definitely went from 32A to 32DD, but because I healed so quickly and my boobs were not up to my chin, they just looked like my real boobs. It still looks so natural, and I love it! I knew Dr. Chang was my doctor after my first consultation, and I booked my surgery after a week. I am extremely happy with the results and thankful for Dr. Chang and his crew! His nurse, Kelly, was absolutely fantastic throughout the whole process, calling to check on me after my surgery and answering all of my questions! A huge thank you to Dr. Chang and Kelly!!!"

"Thank you, Dr. Chang and staff. After breastfeeding my second baby eighteen years ago, my confidence hit an all-time low because my breasts sagged badly. I no longer felt sexy and became very self-conscious about my appearance and would only wear conservative, non sexy clothing. I wasn't able to express myself through fashion as gravity often stepped in, causing wardrobe malfunctions as my breasts would often find themselves out of the bra. After years of contemplating breast augmentation and removing the bags under my eyes, I finally got the courage to do something about it, and that's when my friend referred me to Dr. Christopher Chang. As this was a big decision for me, I was very anxious, but Dr. Chang made me feel at ease with the decision I was about to make. In doing so, he carried out a detailed assessment and enquired about my reasoning for wanting the surgery (making clear his ethical stance). At the end of my consultation, I felt I was making an informed decision and that Dr. Chang was the person I would trust to carry out the procedure. He educated me on the pros and cons and on any possible risks involved. The office offered excellent pre- and post-surgery care and guidance. On the day of my surgery, I was greeted by a very pleasant Dr. Chang, who went over the final details of my procedure, which was reassuring. Following my procedure, Dr. Chang kept in frequent contact to check on my progress/recovery and, if I had a question, returned my calls immediately. This made my recovery after the procedure manageable. åWhen I first saw my 'identical twins', I almost dropped; the babies looked so beautiful and perfect. My confidence hit the roof; I felt like 21 again"

"I want to give Dr. Chang and his staff a shout-out for the amazing work they have done for me. I was first referred to Dr. Chang by a good friend of mine, as he was highly recommended. I had been considering having a breast augmentation for several years, so when I heard they were hosting a meet-and-greet with the doctors at their Fairfax office, I knew I had to attend. After meeting with Dr. Chang and the staff, I knew I was ready to set up an official consultation! At the consultation, both Dr. Chang and his nurse were a wealth of knowledge. They both made me feel extremely comfortable, and I felt confident in their hands. When I decided to proceed, I came in for my pre-op appointment, where I then tried on different implant sizes to determine what would be the best fit for my body. We decided that 275 ccs would be perfect for me since I am petite. The day of surgery, I was a little nervous but also very excited. Everyone at the hospital was very attentive and had remarkable bedside manners. When I came out of surgery, I had no pain and no discomfort. I felt slight pressure, which was to be expected, but overall, I was surprisingly very comfortable. After surgery, I began my “24-hour recovery”. A few hours after being home and resting, Dr. Chang called to check up on me, which I thought, “wow, what a thoughtful doctor!” The very next day, I went out to lunch with my friend and walked around the mosaic without any discomfort. I never once had to take any pain medicine, as I didn’t feel it was needed. The healing process took no time at all, and I was back to work within a few days. I am so in love with my results, and my confidence has skyrocketed! My new breasts look and feel so natural, and they are exactly what I was hoping for! I am very pleased with my experience from start to finish and am absolutely thrilled. Thank you so much, Dr. Chang. You have definitely boosted my confidence!"

"Dr. Chang and his staff are amazing! Three years ago, I considered getting a breast augmentation; however, 1 week before surgery, I canceled because I was entirely too nervous. Here I am now, approximately 1 month post op, and couldn't be happier. When I went in for my consultation with Dr. Chang, I felt extremely comfortable. He was very realistic, precise, and generally concerned/wanted the best for me. He and his staff are not only knowledgeable and skilled but also friendly and easy to talk to. On the day of my surgery, both Dr. Chang and his nurse called me to check how I was doing. I was offered the opportunity to be on the 24-hour recovery program, and I don't regret a single painful minute of it. I highly recommend Dr. Chang and his staff. The people are wonderful, and the office is well maintained."

"Four weeks ago, I had abdominoplasty and breast augmentation procedures with Dr. Chang. I am over the moon with the amazing natural and subtle results of his artistry. He is a gifted surgeon. He made the entire process from pre-op to recovery a very positive experience. I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Chang. I unequivocally would recommend him for any cosmetic procedures you may be considering. He has a wonderful bedside manner, very engaging and informative, always. He makes you feel you are his only patient, never rushed or hurried. His upbeat and positive outlook is so refreshing. It’s truly a pleasure to be his patient. Nurse Kelly is such an asset to the team. She thoroughly prepares you for each step of the surgical process. Her expertise is very helpful and appreciated. The office staff is friendly, caring, and efficient. I wholeheartedly endorse the practice of Dr. Dufresne and Dr. Chang!!"

"I had a consultation with Dr. Chang on Friday, March 11, 2016, for a breast augmentation. Dr. Chang was very attentive and heard out all of my questions and concerns. He asked what I wanted my breasts to look like post-surgery, which made me very comfortable. After analyzing my measurements, we discussed the size of implants to be used. Dr. Chang explained the no-touch technique he uses, which reduces some of the risks associated with the surgery. He also said I would be a candidate for the 24 hr recovery process, which is very appealing to me, given my busy schedule. I am confident that Dr. Chang will help me achieve the look that I've been dreaming of for years. This is my fourth consultation, and I've finally found the doctor I trust to perform this surgery. All of my worries have been put to rest, and I cannot wait to go ahead with the surgery with Dr. Chang."

"I've been looking into getting a breast augmentation for years now. Like all others, I really made sure to do my research. Once I found Dr. Chang and met with him for my first consultation, I knew immediately he was the surgeon I wanted to do my procedure with! He was very easy to talk to and straight to the point with things. If you had any questions, he/his staff were happy to answer them. His staff was extremely professional, and I felt comfortable around them. Dr. Chang wants the best for you, especially if you are looking for a "natural look." He recommended what he thought would look best on me, and we compromised with his recommendations and my expectations. I was really nervous a day or two before the surgery, thinking maybe it wouldn't turn out to be what I wanted to look like. But I think everyone goes through this. The day of the procedure was calming - everyone was a pleasure to speak to, and after waking up from the surgery, I felt a little delusional (from the anesthesia, of course) but shortly after felt okay! Maybe it's because I have a higher pain tolerance, or Dr. Chang is THAT good (or both!), but I didn't need many drugs besides some ibuprofen for slight pain. I'm about one week post-op and am super happy with the results so far. Any unsure thoughts I had previously have been proved wrong, and I am ecstatic about that! I would 100000% recommend Dr. Chang—you are in great hands with him. I can't wait to see what my breasts look like when they fully heal and settle. Definitely one of the best decisions I've made for myself :) Thank you, Dr. Chang!"

"I had breast implant and lift revision surgery with Dr. Chang. The entire experience was so positive. The office staff couldn't have been more helpful each time I called for appointments and/or questions. Dr. Chang made me comfortable right from the start. His nurse, Kelly, was very informative and comforting, and helped me with a few of my decisions. Dr. Chang took the time to understand my concerns and to understand completely what my expectations were. I had things about my first surgery that I was not pleased with, and he made a point to make sure these issues were corrected. In the end, I am 100% satisfied with my results. I couldn't be happier. I am glad for the relationship I have formed with this practice. If I ever have a need for their services in the future, I would not hesitate to go to Dr. Chang."

Breast Augmentation Frequently Asked Questions

Are Motiva breast implants safer than traditional implants?

No implant is entirely without risk, but Motiva's design supports a reduced inflammatory response, which may translate into a lower likelihood of complications such as capsular contracture.

Are Motiva implants available for primary and revision breast augmentation?

Yes, they're suitable for both first-time augmentation and revision procedures, with the right fit depending on your anatomy and surgical objectives.

Do Motiva implants have a different surface compared to traditional implants?

Yes, their surface is specifically engineered to encourage healthier tissue interaction and help implants remain stably positioned over time.

How are Motiva implants monitored over time?

Patients generally follow a schedule of routine clinical check-ins, with imaging recommended as needed to confirm the implants remain intact.

What factors influence implant selection during consultation?

Your surgeon will take into account your chest structure, the thickness of your existing tissue, skin elasticity, and the shape you're ultimately hoping to achieve.

Can Motiva implants be used with fat transfer?

Yes, in certain cases, fat transfer is used alongside implants to soften transitions and enhance overall contour.

Do Motiva implants affect future breastfeeding?

Many patients go on to breastfeed successfully after augmentation, though outcomes depend on surgical technique and individual anatomical considerations.

Will I need future surgery after getting implants?

While plenty of patients enjoy stable, long-term results, implants can sometimes require replacement or revision later on, depending on how your body changes with time.
