Preservé™ breast augmentation is a next‑generation technique that enhances your breast shape while respecting your natural tissue, strength, and structure. At Charlottesville Plastic Surgery, this approach is designed to create a natural look and feel with less discomfort, smaller incisions, and a smoother recovery compared when compared to a traditional breast augmentation.
What is Preservé™ Breast Augmentation?
Preservé™ breast augmentation is a minimally invasive method of placing breast implants that works with your anatomy instead of cutting through or interfering with breast tissue or muscle. Preservé™ is designed to preserve as much of your natural tissue as possible while minimizing trauma, and because the technique uses smaller incisions and a less invasive approach, patients often experience a quicker recovery and a lower risk of complications such as bleeding and capsular contracture.
- Achieve fuller breasts with a natural shape and movement.
- Maintain strength and function in your chest by preserving the pectoral muscle.
- Enjoy less swelling, less bruising, and a faster, more comfortable recovery.
- Lower the risk of certain complications, including bleeding and capsular contracture.

Who is a Candidate for Preservé™ Breast Augmentation?
You may be a good candidate for Preservé™ breast augmentation if you are in good overall health, are bothered by the size or shape of your breasts, and want a fuller but natural‑looking result with minimal downtime. Ideal candidates are nonsmokers and do not have medical conditions that would interfere with healing.
Preservé™ can also be an excellent option if you prefer to avoid general anesthesia, because the procedure is typically performed using local anesthetic with light sedation. During your consultation with double board‑certified plastic surgeon Dr. Willis, he will review your medical history, answer your questions, and determine whether this technique is the right fit for your goals.
The Preservé™ Breast Augmentation Procedure
Preservé™ breast augmentation is performed in about 45 minutes and as an outpatient procedure, so you can go home the same day. After local anesthetic and light sedation are administered to keep you comfortable, Dr. Willis will make small incisions and use Preservé™ tools to create a precise pocket for the implants while preserving the pectoral muscle and as much breast tissue as possible.
The implants are then gently placed so they sit naturally on your chest and complement your specific body proportions. Once both implants are positioned, the incisions are closed with a technique to support minimal, discreet scarring. Then, you will be placed in a supportive garment and be ready to head home to start your recovery.

Recovery after Preservé™ is typically faster and more comfortable than with traditional breast augmentation, thanks to the tissue‑preserving approach. Most patients experience only mild soreness and swelling in the first several days. These symptoms can be well managed with medication, a supportive surgical bra, and rest.
You will need to avoid strenuous activity and lifting for a few weeks, but many patients feel ready to return to desk work within a few days, depending on their job and individual healing. Swelling gradually improves over the first couple of weeks, and Dr. Willis will provide specific instructions on showering, activity restrictions, and when you can safely resume exercise so you can heal optimally and protect your results.
Results Following Preservé™ Breast Augmentation
With Preservé™ breast augmentation, you can expect fuller breasts that still look and move naturally because your underlying support structures are preserved. Early improvements are visible right away, though it can take one to two weeks for the implants to begin settling and a few months for swelling to fully resolve and your final shape to emerge.
Because the technique is designed to minimize tissue trauma, many patients enjoy soft, natural‑feeling breasts, a more comfortable recovery, and reduced risk of issues like visible distortion or excessive scarring. Dr. Willis will follow you closely during your healing to ensure your results continue to look balanced and beautiful over time.
