What Is the Motiva Ergonomix2 Implant?
MB ChB (Aberdeen), FRCS (Ireland), FAMS (Plastic Surgery)
Breast implants are not simply defined by their size or shape. Their materials, shell characteristics and how they respond to movement can also influence how they behave after breast augmentation.
Motiva Ergonomix2® is a newer generation of silicone breast implants developed with technologies intended to improve implant adaptability, mechanical performance and natural tissue dynamics. Understanding how these features work can help you have a more informed discussion with your plastic surgeon about whether this implant may suit your body and aesthetic goals.
What Makes Ergonomix2 Different From Other Implants?
Motiva Ergonomix2® is a silicone gel-filled breast implant and the newer generation of Motiva's Ergonomix® implant. It incorporates updated gel, shell and surface technologies designed to support implant performance and interaction with surrounding breast tissue.
A key characteristic of its design is adaptability. Rather than maintaining the same distribution in different positions, Ergonomix2® is designed to respond to changes in movement and gravity.
How Is Ergonomix2 Designed to Adapt to Movement?
Natural breast tissue does not remain completely static. Its shape and distribution change with gravity when you stand, lie down or move. Ergonomix2® is designed with this behaviour in mind.
When you are upright, more of the implant's volume can settle towards the lower part of the breast, contributing to a natural-looking slope. When you lie down, the volume can redistribute more broadly. This behaviour is supported by the combined properties of the implant's gel and shell, which are designed to allow changes in form while maintaining structural integrity.
What Technologies Are Used in Ergonomix2?
Ergonomix2® incorporates several Motiva technologies, each serving a different purpose within the implant.
ProgressiveGel Ultima®
ProgressiveGel® Ultima® is the silicone gel used inside Ergonomix2®. It is designed to provide form and shape adaptability while supporting tissue-like movement.
Its cohesive properties allow the gel to respond to changes in body position while helping the implant retain its integrity. This balance between adaptability and cohesiveness is central to how Ergonomix2® is designed to behave.
Motiva SuperSilicones®
Ergonomix2® also incorporates Motiva SuperSilicones®, developed using high-purity silicone chemistries. These materials are designed with enhanced mechanical properties, including elasticity and elongation.
The shell and gel are engineered to work together, allowing the implant to remain flexible as its shape responds to movement.
SmoothSilk®/SilkSurface®
The outer surface of the implant uses SmoothSilk®/SilkSurface® technology. This controlled smooth surface is designed with the interaction between the implant and surrounding breast tissue in mind.
Because the implant remains in contact with your tissues after surgery, surface characteristics form an important part of overall implant design.
TrueMonobloc+® and BluSeal+®
TrueMonobloc+® integrates the implant components into a single structure to support mechanical performance. BluSeal+®, meanwhile, is a patented barrier technology incorporated as part of Motiva's manufacturing and quality control process.
Ergonomix2® implants also incorporate RFID technology. This allows information about your implant to be identified after surgery using an external reader, providing another way to access implant details in the future.
Choosing a Breast Implant That Fits Your Goals
Ergonomix2® brings together gel, shell and surface technologies designed to allow the implant to respond to changes in body position. These features can be useful considerations when comparing implants, but they need to be viewed alongside your anatomy, preferences and overall surgical plan.
At Aesthetics & Plastic Surgery in Singapore, MOH-certified plastic surgeon Dr Colin Tham brings more than two decades of experience in breast augmentation to help patients make informed choices about their surgery. If you are considering Motiva Ergonomix2® implants, schedule a consultation to discuss the look you hope to achieve and whether this implant is suited to your needs and anatomy.
FAQs About Motiva Ergonomix2 Implants
Ergonomix2® is a round implant, but its gel is designed to redistribute with changes in body position. This allows its profile to adapt rather than maintaining the same contour whether you are standing or lying down.
Not necessarily. Breast implants do not always need to be replaced after a fixed number of years. Regular follow-up allows your surgeon to monitor the implants and assess whether any changes or concerns may require further attention.
Yes. You can still undergo mammograms with Ergonomix2® implants, although the imaging technique may be adjusted to obtain clearer views of the breast tissue. Let the imaging team know about your implants beforehand so they can plan the examination accordingly.
Yes. Motiva states that its implants can undergo MRI scanning, although implants containing RFID technology are considered MR Conditional and specific scanning conditions apply. Always inform the radiology team that you have breast implants before undergoing imaging.
