Welcome to the Beauty Standard with Dr Roy Kim.
Speaker 2All right, so today we're going to be talking all about Motiva breast implants. Sounds good. We have a bunch of stuff from Dr Roy Kim.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2And then also some stuff from Motiva themselves.
Speaker 1That's perfect, because then we can kind of get the plastic surgeon's perspective with Dr Kim and then also the company's more technical perspective.
Speaker 2Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1With the Motiva official information.
Speaker 2Yeah, so Motiva calls itself like the sixth generation of breast implants. Oh, wow, so it seems like they're trying to be like the most advanced breast implant technology out there, right, and so they say that they've been used in over three million procedures worldwide. But they just got FDA approval in the US in September of 2024.
Speaker 1So very new for the US, but really well established globally.
Speaker 2Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1And I think one of the things that people are really interested in is they really try to focus on safety and having a more natural result.
Speaker 2Yeah, I saw Dr Kim talking about that a lot in his videos.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2Okay so let's get into some of the science behind Metiva. Okay so Dr Kim talks about silk surface technology.
Speaker 1Yeah, that's one of their big ones. What?
Speaker 2is that it sounds very high tech.
Speaker 1It is. It's all about minimizing the body's reaction to the implant.
Speaker 2Okay.
Speaker 1Because traditionally, with some breast implants, what can happen is it can trigger a reaction that leads to scar tissue buildup around the implant yeah, and that's called capsular contracture. Okay, and what happens is the implant starts to feel hard and look distorted, and you don't want that.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1That's not ideal.
Speaker 2That sounds bad.
Speaker 1So what they try to do is they make this surface called silk surface, and it's incredibly smooth.
Speaker 2Oh, wow.
Speaker 1Think of it like a tiny microscopic silk scarf, so it's actually nanotextured. But the average roughness is just four nanometers, wow, so it's super smooth and that helps the implant integrate better with the body's tissues, so you reduce the chances of that scar tissue forming.
Speaker 2Gotcha, so it's just less irritation to the body.
Speaker 1Less friction, less irritation, a much happier implant.
Speaker 2And so Dr Kim was talking about how they have really low capsular contracture rates.
Speaker 1Yes.
Speaker 2Like less than 1%.
Speaker 1In some cases, yes, and that's significantly lower than what we've seen with some of the more traditional implants.
Speaker 2Wow.
Speaker 1And that's huge because that could mean potentially fewer revision surgeries, right, and, of course, more satisfied patients. Yeah, that makes sense In the long run.
Speaker 2Okay, so of course, more satisfied patients. Yeah, that makes sense In the long run. Okay, so that's the silk surface, so that's like the outer part of the implant.
Speaker 1Right.
Speaker 2What about, like the material on the inside of the implant?
Speaker 1Right. So Mativa also has something called Progressive Agile Plus and Progressive Agile Ultima.
Speaker 2Wow, these are very high tech names. They are Okay.
Speaker 1But basically what this gel is designed to do is mimic the feel of natural breast tissue.
Speaker 2Oh, wow.
Speaker 1So it moves and responds a lot more like the real thing.
Speaker 2So it feels more natural.
Speaker 1Exactly it's not just about looking natural. It's also about the feel.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's what I saw in a lot of Dr Kim's videos, like people were commenting about how they feel so natural.
Speaker 1Right.
Speaker 2And I think that this is probably why.
Speaker 1Exactly, and it also helps with the problem that we see sometimes with more traditional implants, which is something called rippling.
Speaker 2Oh, what is that?
Speaker 1So rippling is when the implant kind of wrinkles or folds.
Speaker 2Okay.
Speaker 1And it's visible through the skin.
Speaker 2Oh no.
Speaker 1Yeah, so it's not a good look.
Speaker 2Not a good look.
Speaker 1But Motiva's gel is designed to be super cohesive. Okay, so shape better and you minimize that rippling effect.
Speaker 2Gotcha Okay. So silk surface on the outside.
Speaker 1Yes.
Speaker 2Progressive Eagle on the inside.
Speaker 1Right.
Speaker 2Okay, they really have thought of everything.
Speaker 1They have and they're addressing so many of the concerns that I think have plagued breast implants historically. Yeah, and they have all these other cool things too.
Speaker 2Like what.
Speaker 1Do you remember that blue seal barrier we were talking?
Speaker 2about oh, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1That's a big safety feature that Dr Kim highlights.
Speaker 2Okay, so what is that exactly?
Speaker 1It's basically a thin blue layer that's part of the implant shell.
Speaker 2Okay.
Speaker 1Think of it as like a built-in safety check.
Speaker 2Okay.
Speaker 1So during surgery, the surgeon can visually confirm that the blue layer is intact oh wow which means the implant hasn't been damaged or compromised. So it's just an added layer of reassurance. Yeah, peace of mind For both the surgeon and the patient.
Speaker 2Yeah, for sure. Especially when you're going into surgery, you want to make sure everything is good to go.
Speaker 1Absolutely.
Speaker 2Okay, so they have that. And then there's also I think it's called true monoblock shell. Yeah, Is that what it's called?
Speaker 1Yes, true, monoblock shell.
Speaker 2What is?
Speaker 1that. So basically, it means that the shell, the patch, which is the part that seals the filling hall and the gel they're all unified into a single unit during manufacturing.
Speaker 2Okay.
Speaker 1So this eliminates any potential weak points where leaks or tears could occur. Oh, that makes sense, it's like creating this seamless, super strong structure.
Speaker 2Yeah, okay, so they've really thought of everything.
Speaker 1They're combining innovative materials, clever design, rigorous manufacturing.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1To try to make an implant that's potentially safer, more durable and looks and feels more natural.
Speaker 2Okay, so they had different shapes and sizes, obviously right.
Speaker 1Yes.
Speaker 2What are the main types?
Speaker 1So, when it comes to the shape, you have two main choices round and ergonomics.
Speaker 2Okay, so round are probably what people think of traditionally when they think of breast implants Exactly the classic round implants and they give you that fullness in the upper part of the breast. Okay.
Speaker 1And they create more cleavage Gotcha of the breast. Okay, and they create more cleavage gotcha. So if you're looking for a noticeable enhancement, rounds might be the way to go okay more of that bombshell look okay, and what about the ergonomics?
Speaker 1so the ergonomics. This is where things get really interesting okay because these implants are designed to adapt to your body's natural movements oh, wow so when you're standing or sitting they take on a teardroprop shape for a subtle lift and natural profile, but when you lie down they flatten out just like real breast tissue would.
Speaker 2Oh wow.
Speaker 1So it's all about achieving that natural look and feel.
Speaker 2So it changes shape.
Speaker 1It does, based on your position.
Speaker 2So they move with your body.
Speaker 1Exactly.
Speaker 2That's so cool.
Speaker 1Yeah, and patients love this feature.
Speaker 2Yeah, I can imagine.
Speaker 1It's all about that natural look and feel.
Speaker 2Okay, so we've talked about all the science and how they're made and everything.
Speaker 1Right.
Speaker 2Let's talk about some of like the more practical side of things, okay, like how long do these implants last?
Speaker 1Okay.
Speaker 2And what kind of warranty do they offer?
Speaker 1Those are great questions.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1So no implant lasts forever.
Speaker 2Right.
Speaker 1But Motiva claims that their implants are designed for longevity.
Speaker 2Okay.
Speaker 1And they could last potentially 10 to 15 years or more without complications. And to back that up they have a warranty program called the mode of a health program, and it provides lifetime coverage for rupture. So that means if the implant shell breaks, they'll replace it for free.
Speaker 2So that's for life.
Speaker 1That is for life. Now, what about other potential issues?
Speaker 2Yeah, like what if you get capsular contracture?
Speaker 1Yes, so they have coverage for that as well. Okay, so the basic warranty includes 10 years of coverage for capsular and contracture Right, but only for the severe cases.
Speaker 2Okay, which?
Speaker 1are called Baker grades the third and fourth.
Speaker 2Oh yeah, Dr Kim talked about that.
Speaker 1Yes, so Dr Kim explains those grades in one of his videos, but basically it's how firm and distorted the breast becomes due to the scar tissue. Okay so the warranty kicks in if it gets really bad.
Speaker 2Gotcha Okay, and do they give you any financial assistance if you need surgery?
Speaker 1They do so. They offer $2,000 towards surgical fees for two years if you need a reoperation due to capsular contracture. That's good, and that's just with the basic warranty.
Speaker 2Okay, and is there like an enhanced warranty or something?
Speaker 1There is For an extra $250,. You can upgrade to their Motiva Health Program Plus.
Speaker 2Okay, and what's so great about that?
Speaker 1So, first off, it extends the coverage for capsular contracture to five years. Okay, and then, if you need surgery due to capsular contracture, they increase the financial assistance to $2,500. Oh, wow, so that's quite a bit more.
Speaker 2That's significant.
Speaker 1Yes.
Speaker 2Okay, so they have that. And then there's also the Femtech Promise. Oh yes, what is that?
Speaker 1This is the one that I love.
Speaker 2Okay.
Speaker 1So it's basically financial assistance for implant removal within the first two years.
Speaker 2Even if you just change your mind.
Speaker 1Really.
Speaker 2Yes, no questions asked.
Speaker 1That's a pretty big deal.
Speaker 2It is.
Speaker 1It seems like they really stand behind their product.
Speaker 2Yes, they're very confident in it.
Speaker 1Okay.
Speaker 2And they want their patients to be happy.
Speaker 1Yeah, because, like I said before, going into surgery is a big deal.
Speaker 2It is.
Speaker 1You want to make sure you're making the right decision.
Speaker 2Absolutely.
Speaker 1Okay, so we've talked about Motiva a lot.
Speaker 2Right.
Speaker 1But what about? Like the other brands that are out there?
Speaker 2Like.
Speaker 1Mentor Allergan Sientra.
Speaker 2Right, so those are all the big names that you hear about.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2And they all offer similar shape options.
Speaker 1Okay.
Speaker 2So Round and Teardrop, and they all have FDA approval, but when it comes to the specifics of their warranties, yes, that's where things get a little bit different.
Speaker 1Okay, so what are the main things that you should look for when you're comparing warranties?
Speaker 2You want to pay attention to what's covered, the length of coverage and the amount of financial assistance.
Speaker 1Right.
Speaker 2And then you want to consider your individual needs and risk tolerance. Yeah, like, if you're really concerned about capsular contracture, you want to make sure that they cover that.
Speaker 1Exactly.
Speaker 2Okay, so let's talk about rupture coverage first.
Speaker 1Okay, so the good news is all four brands Motiva, allergan, mentor and Sientra. They offer lifetime coverage for implant replacement if a rupture occurs.
Speaker 2Okay, that's good.
Speaker 1But there is some variation in the financial assistance they provide for the surgery itself.
Speaker 2Oh, so they might cover the implant, but not necessarily the cost of actually getting it replaced.
Speaker 1Right, you got to read the fine print, yeah gotcha. All right, so let's move on to capsular contracture coverage.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1So Motivo's basic warranty covers it for 10 years. Allergan's confidence plus warranty also offers 10 years. Uh-huh Mentor's basic warranty also offers 10 years Mentor's basic warranty also offers 10 years. Okay. However, Mentor's enhanced warranty and Ciantra's Platinum 20 warranty extend that coverage to 20 years.
Speaker 2Wow.
Speaker 1So there's a little bit more variation there.
Speaker 2Okay.
Speaker 1And just like with rupture coverage, the amount of financial assistance for a reoperation due to capsular contracture also different right.
Speaker 2So remember, Motiva's basic warranty is $2,000 for two years. Their enhanced warranty is $2,500 for five years. Allergan's Confidence Plus provides $2,000 for two years.
Speaker 1Okay.
Speaker 2Now Mentor's warranties are a little more generous. Okay, they offer $3,500 for 10 years. Wow, they offer $3,500 for 10 years. And then Sientra's Platinum 20 stands out with $2,000 for two years for a primary augmentation, and then, if it's a revision augmentation, they give you an additional $2,500 for two years.
Speaker 1Okay, so it seems like there are a lot of differences between these warranties.
Speaker 2There are a lot of nuances.
Speaker 1And you really need to understand, like what you're getting, yeah, and how much risk you're willing to take.
Speaker 2Yeah, and this is where a conversation with a board certified plastic surgeon like Dr Kim Right Is so important.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2They can really walk you through all of this.
Speaker 1Yeah, that's what I was thinking.
Speaker 2Help you understand the nuances. Yeah, and pick the best option for you.
Speaker 1Because it seems like there's no one best option.
Speaker 2Right, it really depends on your individual needs.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2And your risk tolerance OK, but going back to Motiva's Femtech promise, yes. I think that's just such a cool feature.
Speaker 1It sets them apart.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1Because none of the other brands offer that kind of safety net.
Speaker 2Yeah, it just seems like they really you know, they trust their product and they want you to feel good about the decision that you're making.
Speaker 1Exactly. They're putting their money where their mouth is.
Speaker 2Yeah, by offering that. Okay, so we've talked about the implants a lot. Right but what about the company behind Motiva?
Speaker 1Okay.
Speaker 2What can you tell me about Escalishment Labs?
Speaker 1So one thing that I thought was really interesting is that they're publicly traded.
Speaker 2Oh, wow On, like the New York Stock Exchange or.
Speaker 1On NASDAQ.
Speaker 2Oh, okay, cool. So what does that tell us?
Speaker 1It means that there's a certain level of transparency and accountability, because all of their financial information is public.
Speaker 2Gotcha.
Speaker 1So you can get a good sense of their stability.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1And they're well capitalized.
Speaker 2Okay.
Speaker 1Which means they have a lot of resources to invest in research and development and, of course, to support those warranty programs.
Speaker 2Yeah, because we were talking about how important those are, they are and how much they differ between companies.
Speaker 1Right, okay, so they're pretty legit company then yes, very much so okay and I think that's really reassuring for patients yeah because you want a company that's gonna be around for a while yeah, for sure and that's committed to this technology yeah and that prioritizes patient safety and satisfaction.
Motiva Breast Implants
Speaker 2Okay, cool. Well, I think this has been like a really good overview.
Speaker 1Yes.
Speaker 2Of you know Motive-V breast implants.
Speaker 1We've covered a lot.
Speaker 2We've talked about the science. We've talked about, like, the safety features, yes, the different types and how Motive-V stacks up against the competition Right, but I think one thing that we didn't really talk about that Dr Kim mentioned in his videos was the placement of the implant Right, because he was talking about how he prefers to place them under the fascia.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2Which is different from the traditional under the muscle placement Exactly. So can you explain what that is and why that's important?
Speaker 1Of course. So traditionally, most breast implants have been placed under the pectoral muscle. Okay, the idea was that the muscle would provide better coverage and reduce the risk of capsular contracture.
Speaker 2Gotcha.
Speaker 1But there's been a growing trend towards subfascial placement, which means placing the implant above the muscle but underneath the fascia, which is a layer of connect the muscle, but underneath the fascia, which is a layer of connective tissue.
Speaker 2So it's still under something.
Speaker 1It is.
Speaker 2But it's not under the muscle Exactly.
Speaker 1And Dr Kim prefers this for Motiva implants.
Speaker 2Okay, why.
Speaker 1He believes that Motiva's advanced technology, especially that super smooth silk surface, minimizes the risk of capsular contracture, even with subfascial placement, and there are a few potential benefits to doing it this way.
Speaker 2Okay, what are they?
Speaker 1So first off it can mean less pain after surgery oh that's good. And then also it can lead to a more natural look and feel because the implant is closer to the breast tissue itself.
Speaker 2That makes sense.
Speaker 1So you kind of get the best of both worlds.
Speaker 2Okay, so the placement of the implant is just as important as the implant itself.
Speaker 1Absolutely Cool. It's all about finding that sweet spot, yeah, achieving the look that you want.
Speaker 2Hey.
Speaker 1Minimizing the complications.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1And really customizing the approach based on the patient. Yes and their anatomy and their goals.
Speaker 2Because everybody's different.
Speaker 1Everybody is different.
Speaker 2Okay, cool. Well, I think we've covered a lot of ground. We have. In this first part, uh-huh, we've gotten a pretty good understanding of like what Motiva implants are.
Speaker 1Right.
Speaker 2And how they're different from the other brands out there.
Speaker 1Yes.
Speaker 2But I think there's still so much more to discuss.
Speaker 1There is.
Speaker 2So when we come back, we'll delve a little bit deeper into those comparisons, okay, between Motiva and the other brands, yes, and then we'll wrap up with some key takeaways and some final thoughts. That's great for our listeners, so stay tuned all right, see you then.
Speaker 1Welcome back. So I'm excited to continue our deep dive into Motiva implants yeah, me too. And especially how they compare to some of those other big brands.
Speaker 2Yeah, like.
Speaker 1Mentor Allergan and Sientra.
Speaker 2Yeah, let's talk about those warranties a little bit more. We were talking about, you know, rupture coverage and capsular contracture.
Speaker 1Right.
Speaker 2But what about some of those other things that could happen that are maybe less common?
Speaker 1Yeah, like what.
Speaker 2Like late seromas or double capsules.
Speaker 1Okay, yeah, so those are less common, but they can happen.
Speaker 2Yeah, how often do those happen?
Speaker 1It's not super common but, a late seroma is basically a collection of fluid that develops around the implant after surgery. It's usually not serious, but it can sometimes require aspiration or even surgical drainage.
Speaker 2Okay.
Speaker 1And then a double capsule is even less frequent.
Speaker 2Okay.
Speaker 1And that's when two layers of scar tissue form around the implant instead of just one. Oh, and that can make the implant feel hard and look distorted.
Speaker 2So kind of like capsular contracture.
Speaker 1Similar to capsular contracture? Yeah, Gotcha. So how do all these brands handle that in their warranties?
Speaker 2Yeah, so for late seromas. Motiva's basic warranty covers implant replacement for 10 years.
Speaker 1OK.
Speaker 2But it doesn't offer any financial assistance for any additional procedures. Ok, but their enhanced warranty does provide $2,000 for two years.
Speaker 1OK, that's good.
Speaker 2For additional procedures.
Speaker 1Yeah, so if you're worried about that, that might be a good option.
Speaker 2Allergan's Confidence Plus offers lifetime implant replacement for seromas Wow okay. But no financial assistance. Gotcha, mentor's Promise Enhanced and Cientra's Platinum 20 warranties both provide 20 years of coverage for implant replacement. Wow, and they're a little more generous with the financial assistance. Okay, mentor offers $3,500 and Sientra offers $2,000.
Speaker 1Okay.
Speaker 2Now for double capsules. Motiva's basic warranty offers 10 years of coverage for implant replacement.
Speaker 1Okay.
Speaker 2Again no financial assistance.
Speaker 1Okay.
Speaker 2But their enhanced warranty offers lifetime implant replacement and $3,500 for two years for financial assistance.
Speaker 1Oh, wow.
Speaker 2So they really step up.
Speaker 1Allergan's Confidence Plus offers lifetime coverage for implant replacement. Okay, but no financial assistance for double capsules.
Speaker 2Okay.
Speaker 1And, interestingly enough, neither of Mentor's warranties specifically covers double capsules.
Speaker 2Really.
Speaker 1Yeah, interesting, so you might want to inquire about that if you're considering Mentor.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1Now Scientra's Platinum 20 provides 20 years of coverage for implant replacement.
Speaker 2Okay.
Speaker 1But no financial assistance for this particular complication.
Speaker 2Okay, so it's all over the place.
Speaker 1It is, it really is.
Speaker 2Depending on what company you choose and what warranty.
Speaker 1Right, and what complication.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1So it really highlights how important it is. Yeah, how important it is to talk to your surgeon.
Speaker 2Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1To really understand the nuances.
Speaker 2Yeah, because I would have no idea Right, just going in like blindly.
Speaker 1Right. So you definitely need to be informed and really think about your risk tolerance.
Speaker 2Okay. So going back to Dr Kim's videos, he was talking about how motive implants can be inserted through smaller incisions. Is that specific to Motiva or can other implants do?
Speaker 1that too. So smaller incisions means less scarring, right yeah, and probably a quicker recovery.
Speaker 2Yeah, for sure. So it's a win-win. Yeah.
Speaker 1And while it's not exclusive to Motiva, it's something that they emphasize, so their implants are designed to be highly compressible so they can be inserted through those smaller incisions than some other implants.
Speaker 2Okay, and why is that? Is it because of the material.
Speaker 1Yeah, it's the combination of the shell design and the gel. So they work together to allow for that compressibility.
Speaker 2Yeah, that makes sense. So it seems like they really thought about everything.
Speaker 1Right, it's not just about the implant, it's about the entire surgical experience.
Speaker 2Yeah, the whole process, the whole process yeah. Well, that's really cool.
Speaker 1Yeah, and it's definitely something to consider if you're worried about scarring.
Speaker 2Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1You want the fastest recovery possible.
Speaker 2Exactly Okay, so I think we've talked about pretty much everything.
Speaker 1Yeah, I think we've covered all the major points.
Speaker 2Like the technology, the safety features, the warranties.
Speaker 1Right.
Speaker 2Different shapes and sizes, even the surgical techniques.
Speaker 1Right, we went over a lot.
Speaker 2Yeah, but I think there's one more thing that I wanted to touch on.
Speaker 1Okay.
Speaker 2We know that Motiva is relatively new to the US market.
Speaker 1Yes.
Speaker 2But they've been used extensively in other countries, right? So what can their global success tell us about the future of breast implants? That's a great question Like could Motiva be setting a new standard?
Speaker 1I think they could be.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1Because they've gained a really strong foothold in a lot of countries that are known for having high standards in healthcare and cosmetic surgery, and their emphasis on safety, natural results and patient satisfaction really seems to be resonating.
Speaker 2Yeah, it seems like they're kind of ahead of the curve.
Speaker 1I think so. I think they've really anticipated the needs and the expectations, and they're really leading the way.
Speaker 2With this new technology, with this new approach. Yeah, it's interesting.
Speaker 1Yeah, it's really exciting to see what they're doing.
Speaker 2And hopefully it'll inspire other companies.
Speaker 1Yes.
Speaker 2To also kind of step up their game. Absolutely and put the patient first.
Speaker 1Right, because at the end of the day, it's all about the patient.
Speaker 2Yeah, exactly yeah.
Speaker 1Okay.
Speaker 2Well, I think this've given our listener a lot of information.
Speaker 1A lot to think about.
Speaker 2Yeah, to kind of help them make a decision, absolutely. But before we wrap up I want to kind of switch gears a little bit, okay, and talk about, like the emotional side of things.
Speaker 1Right, because this is a really big decision. Yeah, and it's not just about the technical details.
Speaker 2Yeah, you have to think about, like your motivations, yeah, your expectations, exactly how you think this might impact your self-esteem.
Speaker 1Right your body image.
Speaker 2Yeah, it can be really emotional. Yeah.
Speaker 1And I think it's so important to have open and honest conversations.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1With your surgeon, with your loved ones.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1Maybe even a therapist or a counselor. Yeah, for sure, to really work through those emotions.
Speaker 2Yeah, because, like I said, it's a big decision.
Speaker 1It is a big decision.
Speaker 2And it can really affect your life and we want you to be happy.
Speaker 1Yeah, exactly yeah.
Speaker 2So it's not just about the physical transformation.
Speaker 1Right.
Speaker 2It's also about the emotional transformation.
Speaker 1Absolutely.
Speaker 2Okay. So, as you're doing your research and exploring your options, think about this. Imagine yourself five years from now.
Speaker 1Okay.
Speaker 2You've made a decision about breast implants. Maybe you went with Motiva, maybe you went with a different brand, maybe you decided against it altogether. What does that future version of yourself look and feel like?
Speaker 2Yeah, visualize that Living your life feeling confident and comfortable in your body that's the ultimate goal yeah, and it's a journey it is a journey and we're here to help you along the way we are, so thanks for joining us on this deep dive. Yes, thank you for listening into the world of motiva breast implants we hope you learned a lot yeah, and we'll see you next time see you then we're back and, wow, I feel like we've learned so much about Modiva breast implants.
Speaker 1Yeah, it's been a really interesting deep dive. Yeah, and I hope our listeners feel like they're Modiva experts now.
Speaker 2Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1All the ins and outs.
Speaker 2Yeah, and you know, what I was thinking about when we were off is like how Modiva is really trying to challenge the status quo. Yeah challenge the status quo in the breast implant industry. I see what you mean.
Speaker 1Like it's not just about the technology, it's their whole. Philosophy seems to be really focused on the patient experience.
Speaker 2Exactly.
Speaker 1Like they want to be transparent. They want to give women choices, yeah, and they want them to feel empowered.
Speaker 2Yeah, and you see that in their warranty.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2Like that Femtech promise.
Speaker 1Exactly.
Speaker 2Like that's unheard of, yeah, Like that Femtech promise. Exactly Like that's unheard of.
Speaker 1It is Like with the other brands, that big deal.
Speaker 2Yeah, to be able to change your mind within the first two years.
Speaker 1Exactly, it shows a lot of confidence in their product, yeah, and they're really saying like we trust you to make the best decision for your body yeah, right, and for your life.
