Implant Options with Dr Beldholm

Dr Beldholm uses high‑quality silicone implants from reputable manufacturers.

Motiva Breast Implants

Motiva breast implants are a modern generation of silicone gel implants designed with several features that may benefit suitable patients. While no breast implant is risk‑free, Motiva devices incorporate technologies intended to improve softness, durability, and consistency. Key characteristics include:

• Progressive Gel™ silicone technology designed for a soft, natural feel while maintaining shape
• SmoothSilk®/SilkSurface® nano‑surface technology created to minimise friction against surrounding breast tissues
• A wide range of shapes, projections and base widths to better match different chest anatomies
• Ergonomic implant options intended to adapt more naturally to movement and position changes
• Enhanced shell elasticity for more controlled implant behaviour under pressure

These features may help some patients achieve breast shape and feel, but outcomes vary significantly between individuals. All silicone implants, including Motiva, carry risks such as capsular contracture, malposition, implant rupture, and the potential need for revision surgery. Choice of implant type, profile and placement is tailored during your consultation based on your anatomy, goals and medical considerations. implants feature:

• Highly cohesive silicone gel
• Smooth/nano-textured surfaces
• Wide range of shapes and profiles

Polytech Silicone Breast Implants

Polytech silicone breast implants are considered a reliable, established option and are similar in design philosophy to traditional Mentor-style silicone implants. They are generally viewed as a more cost‑effective implant choice, which can be appealing for patients who want a high‑quality silicone device without the higher price point associated with next‑generation implants such as Motiva.

Polytech implants provide:

• Multiple shapes and projections
• Various surface options
• European‑made silicone technology

While Polytech implants are dependable and widely used, they do not include some of the advanced features found in Motiva implants, such as nano‑surface technology or ergonomic gel behaviour. For patients prioritising lower cost, Polytech may be suitable; however, those seeking the specific benefits offered by Motiva may prefer the latter option. Choice of implant is individualised during consultation based on anatomy, goals, and budget considerations.

Silicone vs Saline

• Silicone implants: Most commonly used in Australia.
• Saline implants: Less common but available for specific indications.
