Motiva Implants in Canada: Are They Worth the Wait?

I’ve been getting more and more questions about Motiva breast implants, including from patients who are waiting specifically for them to become available in Canada.

To my knowledge, Motiva implants are not currently available in Canada, and I have not been able to find any publicly accessible information confirming that an application has been submitted to Health Canada.

So what makes them interesting?

One of their potential advantages is the SmoothSilk® surface, with published data suggesting low rates of capsular contracture, particularly when implants are placed over the muscle.

But there is some important context. In my practice, I typically place breast implants under the muscle using a dual-plane technique, and our capsular contracture rate is already below the rates commonly quoted in discussions of Motiva implants.

For patients specifically interested in over-the-muscle breast augmentation, Motiva may offer some interesting potential advantages. But for patients who are open to other implant options and an under-the-muscle approach, waiting for Motiva may not necessarily provide an advantage when it comes to capsular contracture risk.

I currently have a growing list of patients waiting for Motiva to come to Canada, but unfortunately, I can’t tell them when that will be.

If you’re considering breast augmentation, a consultation can help you understand the options currently available in Canada and whether waiting for Motiva actually makes sense for you.

Timeless, Never Overdone

A facelift should never change who you are. It should simply restore what time has gradually taken away.

This patient is shown 6 months after a preservation deep plane face and neck lift, combined with an endoscopic brow lift, fat grafting for volume restoration, and chin augmentation to improve facial balance and projection.

Her results demonstrate a refreshed, naturally youthful appearance through:
• Restoration of descended facial tissues
• Improved jawline and neck definition
• A more elevated brow position
• Subtle restoration of facial volume
• Enhanced chin projection for improved profile balance

Just as importantly, the outcome still looks like her. There is no tight, windswept, or overdone appearance, only a rested and refreshed version of herself.

You’ll also notice how beautifully the incisions have healed. At just six months, they are already remarkably difficult to see. I’ll be sharing a close-up video soon so you can appreciate just how discreet these scars have become.

Natural results are never an accident. They are the product of thoughtful planning, meticulous surgical technique, and respect for each patient’s unique anatomy.

Reclaiming Her Silhouette

Pregnancy can permanently change the abdomen, stretching the muscles, creating excess skin, and altering the body’s natural contours. For many women, even dedicated exercise and a healthy lifestyle cannot fully restore what pregnancy has changed.

This patient is shown just 6½ weeks after lipoabdominoplasty, including abdominal and flank liposuction with re**us diastasis repair.

While her transformation is already remarkable, these are still very early results. Swelling remains throughout the abdomen, and her tissues will continue to soften and settle over the coming months. As healing progresses, we expect even greater definition, contour, and refinement.

The goal is not simply a flatter abdomen. It is to restore balance, proportion, and a silhouette that feels natural, elegant, and in harmony with the rest of the body. Every procedure is carefully tailored to the individual, with meticulous attention to detail throughout the surgical journey.

No matter how healthy you are, some things simply can’t be fixed with diet and exercise alone.

This wonderful patient lived an active, healthy lifestyle but remained frustrated by loose abdominal skin and stubborn areas of excess fat that persisted despite her best efforts. To help her achieve her goals, I performed a full lipoabdominoplasty, combining a tummy tuck with liposuction of the abdomen and flanks to create a firmer, smoother, and more athletic-looking contour.

At just 6 months after surgery, her transformation is already remarkable. While the physical changes are significant, what makes me happiest is seeing the confidence that comes with feeling comfortable in your own skin again.

One of the most rewarding parts of my job is helping patients address concerns that they have worked hard to improve on their own but simply cannot overcome through lifestyle changes alone. Procedures such as lipoabdominoplasty are not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle; rather, they can help refine and restore the results of that hard work.

I am incredibly grateful for the trust my patients place in me and my team, and I could not be happier to have been part of her journey.

This gentleman felt that the bags beneath his eyes made him appear constantly fatigued, even when he felt energetic and well-rested. To address this concern, he underwent upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty along with facial fat grafting for facial balancing and rejuvenation.

These photos were taken just 6 weeks after surgery. His upper and lower eyelid incisions have healed exceptionally well, to the point that they are essentially imperceptible. The combination of eyelid surgery and strategic fat grafting has helped restore a more refreshed, youthful appearance while maintaining a natural look that still feels completely like him.

One of the most rewarding aspects of facial rejuvenation surgery is helping patients look as vibrant and full of life as they feel on the inside. We are grateful to have been part of his journey.

Procedure:
• Upper Blepharoplasty
• Lower Blepharoplasty
• Facial Fat Grafting

Good coffee, churros and chocolate, long walks, and time with the people who matter most. Grateful for the chance to slow things down for a moment and come back refreshed, focused, and ready for what’s ahead.

I’ve always believed that short breaks help me come back sharper, more focused, and refreshed — and ultimately better able to give my patients the energy, attention, and care they deserve.

Looking forward to being back soon and hitting the ground running for a very busy few months ahead.

Three Weeks After A Preservation Deep Plane Facelift And Neck Lift

Modern facial rejuvenation surgery is not simply about tightening skin — it is about restoring facial balance, proportion, and harmony.

In this patient, I performed a preservation deep plane face and neck lift with fat grafting and facial balancing just three weeks ago. Even at this early stage of recovery, you can already see meaningful improvements in the jawline definition, neck contour, and overall facial balance.

The deep plane facelift is a technique that focuses on repositioning deeper facial structures rather than relying on surface tightening alone. By working in deeper tissue planes and preserving key anatomical structures, surgeons aim to achieve results that appear natural, balanced, and age-appropriate.

However, an important point that is often overlooked is that the name of the technique itself is not what determines the quality of a facelift. Terms like “deep plane,” “SMAS,” or “preservation facelift” describe surgical approaches, but the most important factors remain surgical judgment, anatomical understanding, and artistry.

Every face ages differently, and excellent results come from individualized planning and careful restoration of facial proportions, not simply applying a technique by name.

In this case, fat grafting was used to restore areas of volume loss and improve transitions between the cheeks, jawline, and neck, helping create a smoother and more harmonious facial profile.

At only three weeks after surgery, swelling will continue to settle and the results will continue to mature over the coming months.

For patients researching facelift surgery in Toronto, deep plane facelift Toronto, or face and neck lift Toronto, thoughtful surgical planning and refined technique play a key role in achieving elegant and natural-looking outcomes.

💡 Can I get large breast implants and a lift at the same time? 🤔
Sometimes — but if you’re aiming for a truly large implant, the answer is often no.
In most cases, a single-stage augmentation + lift (augmentation mastopexy) can be beautifully performed when goals are moderate to moderate-plus and the tissues can safely support both.
When implant goals are very large and/or the lift required is significant, it becomes a matter of refinement and longevity: more implant weight increases tension on the lift, and a more aggressive lift can limit implant size and shape options.
In those select situations, I may recommend a two-stage approach for the most elegant, stable result:
1. Lift first
2. Add the implant 6–12 months later once tissues have fully settled
