Breast Augmentation in Fort Wayne: Over 30 Years of Artistry and Innovation

Enhancing Confidence. Creating Beauty. Empowering You.

Since 1995, Dr. Robert Severinac has performed over 1,000 breast augmentation procedures in Fort Wayne, Indiana. With over three decades of experience and a keen eye for natural aesthetics, his artistic approach to breast augmentation in Fort Wayne has helped women feel more confident and comfortable with their appearance.  Dr. Severinac places particular emphasis on careful implant selection with implant sizing and 3D imaging, individualized surgical planning, and patient safety to help each patient achieve her aesthetic goals.

Motiva Preservé Breast Augmentation in Fort Wayne: A Tissue-Preserving Approach

The Wait Is Over: FDA-Approved Motiva “Gummy Gel” Breast Implants

For nearly 30 years, Dr. Severinac primarily recommended saline implants, remaining cautious about the safety, longevity, and performance of earlier silicone options.  After hearing about the newest implant innovations at an international meeting over 10 years ago, he has waited for this moment:  The FDA approval of Motiva silicone breast implants.   We are proud to be the first in the region to offer Motiva implants and the Preservé technique at Indiana Plastic Surgery Center in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

At the core of Motiva’s unprecedented safety profile are its proprietary TrueMonobloc and SmoothSilk BioSurface technologies. Traditional implants feature separate components bonded together, creating weak points vulnerable to tearing. In contrast, Motiva’s TrueMonobloc design chemically unifies the shell, patch, and gel into a single, cohesive unit that can withstand immense pressure and stretch without breaking. Complementing this structural integrity is the controlled SmoothSilk nano-surface profile, which features a precise micro-texture engineered to interact seamlessly with your body. By mimicking natural cell dimensions, this advanced nano-surface minimizes internal friction and prevents chronic inflammation. Together, these mechanical and biological innovations have successfully driven device-related complication rates to under 1%, offering patients a dramatic, proven reduction in both implant rupture and capsular contracture.

The hallmark of the Motiva Ergonomix2 implant is its innovative design, intended to closely mimic the movement and feel of natural breast tissue. Its soft, adaptable silicone gel responds to changes in body position, creating a more rounded appearance when lying down and a gently sloping, teardrop-like contour when standing. This dynamic behavior is designed to provide natural-looking contours and movement, helping patients achieve results that complement their individual anatomy.  This implant was designed to eliminate the rigid “stuck-on” appearance common with older silicone models, ensuring your results look, shift, and feel entirely authentic whether you are active, relaxing, or on vacation

• These next-generation implants are trusted in over 86 countries with 1.8 million patients, and clinical studies have shown:

  • 97.1% patient satisfaction

  • Less than 1% device-related complications

  • Proven safety and performance over 14+ years worldwide

With Motiva, patients enjoy a soft, natural feel and beautiful contours, all while knowing their safety is at the heart of every surgical decision Dr. Severinac makes.

A Gentler Approach to Breast Augmentation: Preserving Your Natural Anatomy

Dr. Severinac believes that beautiful breast augmentation results begin with respecting the breast’s natural anatomy. His approach emphasizes thoughtful implant selection, careful surgical technique, and preservation of the surrounding tissues whenever possible.

In addition to Motiva Preservé, Dr. Severinac offers subfascial breast augmentation, in which Motiva implants are positioned beneath the thin layer of fascia covering the pectoralis major muscle, without dissecting beneath the muscle itself.

For patients undergoing subfascial or submuscular breast augmentation, Dr. Severinac may incorporate an internal bra technique when additional implant support is needed. Using specialized absorbable surgical scaffolds, such as GalaFLEX or DuraSorb, he can provide temporary reinforcement while the surrounding tissues heal and develop their own supporting tissue. These materials gradually absorb over time.

Internal bra scaffolding is not used with the Motiva Preservé technique, which is designed to preserve and utilize the breast’s natural supporting structures.

By avoiding dissection beneath the pectoralis muscle, muscle-sparing techniques such as Preservé and subfascial placement may offer less postoperative discomfort, a more comfortable recovery, and a reduced risk of breast animation, in which an implant visibly moves or changes shape during chest muscle contraction.

Not every technique is right for every patient. Dr. Severinac considers breast tissue thickness, skin elasticity, desired implant size, and individual aesthetic goals when recommending the most appropriate approach.

Reclaim Your Silhouette, Restore Your Confidence

Breast augmentation isn’t simply about increasing breast size. For many women, the goal is more subtle: a little additional fullness to comfortably fill out a bra, bathing suit, or favorite dress, while maintaining a natural, balanced silhouette and a look that feels like you.

What is Ballerina Breast Augmentation?

Sometimes called “ballerina breast augmentation,” this approach emphasizes graceful proportions, modest implant volumes, and a natural-looking result that complements a woman’s figure rather than dramatically changing it.

The Motiva Preservé breast augmentation technique is particularly well suited to this aesthetic in appropriately selected patients. By combining smaller-volume Motiva implants with a tissue-preserving surgical approach, Dr. Severinac can pursue subtle enhancement while respecting the breast’s natural anatomy.

Whether you desire a modest enhancement or a more noticeable change, Dr. Severinac tailors each breast augmentation to your individual anatomy, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals.

Ballerina Breast Augmentation in Fort Wayne: A Natural, Subtle Enhancement

Saline breast implants by Mentor remain a good option for some patients. Their advantages include:

• Adjustable fill volume during surgery, with the possibility of additional volume adjustments after surgery in selected patients through Dr. Severinac’s office-based technique under local anesthesia.

• Easier detection of rupture, since saline implant deflation is generally noticeable without specialized imaging.

• Potentially smaller incisions, because the implants are filled after insertion.

Because saline implants may be more prone to visible or palpable rippling, Dr. Severinac generally places them beneath the pectoralis muscle to provide additional tissue coverage and help camouflage the implant. One potential disadvantage of this approach is that some patients may experience persistent muscle-related discomfort or breast animation, in which the implant visibly moves or changes shape during contraction of the chest muscles.

For patients with adequate natural breast tissue coverage, saline implants can provide attractive, natural-looking and natural-feeling results. Factors such as existing breast volume, implant placement, and implant size all influence the final appearance and likelihood of visible rippling.

With the introduction of Motiva silicone breast implants and the Preservé technique, Dr. Severinac’s approach to breast augmentation has evolved significantly. Today, fewer than 5% of his breast augmentation procedures use saline implants, reflecting his preference for the natural feel and tissue-preserving possibilities of newer silicone implant options. Saline implants remain available for patients whose anatomy, preferences, or individual circumstances make them an appropriate choice.

What About a Lift?

Breast implant augmentation can restore fullness and create the appearance of a modest lift, but it does not correct significant breast sagging. Dr. Severinac will personally evaluate your breast anatomy, skin elasticity, and aesthetic goals to determine whether augmentation alone, a breast lift, or a combination of both procedures would provide the most appropriate result. Every patient receives an individualized surgical plan designed around her unique anatomical needs and goals.
