I got the newest, trendiest breast implants — everyone in NYC wants a pair
Dayanara Perez is very mindful about what she putওs in her body.
So when the self-professed “health nut” was tappe🐭d to be one of the first women in the US to get silicone Motiva breast implꦓants, her ears — and a few other body parts — perked up.
“My boobs are so perky and natural looking,” Perez, 30, a mom of one fr🌼om Long Island, told The Post of her 34Ds. “The Motiva implants feel so ❀good — like real breasts.”
Her $12,000 augmentation w🍸as done by dual-board-certified of Hauppauge, NY, back in 2018. Perez previously had saline implants that were inserted by another surgeon in 2015. But she went to Epstein after randomly suffering a rupture.
And just a few short hours after being༺ on his table, Perez and her new boobs went ꦆout to dinner at a fancy local eatery.
He’s one of the 22 physicians i🎐n the US permitted to during the Food and Drug💦 Administration’s six-year clinical trial.
The FDA officially🌟 approved Motiva, made by fem-tech company Establishment Labs and available in over 70 countries, on Sept. 26🐓.
And Eꦦpst🎃ein’s already hailing the bluish orbs, which cost upward of $12,000, as “game changers.”
“Motiva implants are made to improve women’s health,” said the pro. He’s performed 💮about 140 cosmetic procedures with the premium puppies.
The implants are offered in two distinct styles.
The Motiva Round gives th𒊎e breast a circular shape, while the Ergonomix assumes a teardrop shape when upright inside the breast. The latter embodies the science of ergonomics, as it is designed to react, feel and move like natural breast tissue.
Both come with a SmoothSilk silicoꦛne outer shell that creates a sleek finis♕h, creating a human-like feel.
The specialized casings come designed for enhanced biocompatibility and are promote low inflammation. They also reduce the risk of capsular c🎀ontracture, which is painful scar tissue that can form around the implant.
And the🌠 better-for-you bosoms couldn’t🍨 have blown in at a better time.
Knockouts in New York and beyond are saying so long to toxꦫic, obnoxiously large breast augmentations for healt💯hier, less look-at-me alternatives.
The swing toward subtler assets has gained momentum in recent years thanks to so🐓me celebrity downsiziꦑng.
Kylie Jenner, 27, kick-started the craze in July 2023. The “Kardashians” siren openly regretted replacing her God-given goodies with faux fil⛄lers at age 19.
Her confession opened the floodgates to a sea of similar grief from sirens who, too, wished they’d retained their natural profiles instead of paying for “ginormous” 🎉jugs.
Last fall, Big Apple belles rushed to get under the ꦡknife for must-have “sweater boob” surgeries.&♕nbsp;
Amid the peak of the trend, Upper East Side plastic surgeon Ryan Neinstein told The Post that 40% of his Gen Z and millenꦡnial clients want “smaller, more elegant implant🐟s because they want to look good in their everyday clothes.”
An🍰na Steve of Manhattan-based said Motivaไ implants are now answering that call.
“Our phones have ♚been ringing off the hook,” Steve, a small-volume implant specialist, told The Post. “Everyone wants Moti💯va.”
For the gals of Gotham, getting a pair of the in-demand add-ons with Steve can cost around $18,000. But she said the priওce is worth the payoff.
“The women of New York City want a🐲ugmentations that fit their lifes꧒tyle,” said Steve. “A lot of women are into fashion and very petite, and traditional implants have a risk of rippling in thin women.”
Rippling is a complication that occurs when an implant’s outer shell folds inward, creating visiblℱe wrinkles.
“But the Motiva implants are designed with a special gel-to-shell technology that lowers the risk of ripplin🗹g,” she added.
Epstein,ꦍ who do⛎ubles as a biomedical engineer, agrees, saying, “The gel technology solves a lot of problems.”
“It’s shell and [interior] gel move tog꧒ether as a unit,” continued the pro. “The less motion of silicone gel you have inside the implant, the less pressure on the shell and the less risk for rupture.”
An RFID sensor can also be embedded intꦫo most Motiva implants. Each FDA-approved chip is assigned a unique 15-digit serial number that, once scanned by a surgeon, offers up vital information about the unit, including its date of manufacture, size, volume and profile.
“They’re incredible,” Epstein raved.
Andrea Bale𒊎strieri felt incred💜ible since increasing her A-cup cleavage to size C bosoms with Motiva implants six years ago.
The hairdresser andไ married mom of two, from Suffolk County, told The Post 🦄she’d get the ample attachments “again and again.”
“They 100% look and feel so natural,” Balestrieri, who’d previously 🃏had sဣaline inserts before going Motiva in 2018.
“They don’t even feel like implants,” she said. “They feel like they’re mine.”
