DENVER, June 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The LaVie Institute now offers Preservé®, a less-invasive breast augmentation technique for women in Denver and across Colorado who want natural-looking results and a faster recovery.
Today, breast augmentation patients are looking beyond implant size. Women considering breast implants want to know how surgery will affect their body and sensation, what recovery involves, and how soon they can return to work, exercise, and the activities that matter most.
The technique, called Preservé, was introduced in September 2024 and is performed through a single one-inch incision hidden in the lower breast fold. Unlike traditional breast augmentation, which typically disrupts the pectoralis muscle, Preservé is designed to keep the chest muscle intact and preserve muscle function. The technique is also designed to preserve the breast’s natural internal support structures, help maintain sensation, and minimize disruption to surrounding tissue.
Because the approach is less invasive, the recovery process is designed to be substantially faster than with traditional techniques. Preservé breast augmentation patients are allowed full arm range of motion immediately after surgery, generally do not require narcotic pain medication, are able to resume driving the next day, and have returned to light exercise within two weeks. Individual results and recovery times may vary.
At The LaVie Institute, the procedure is supported by advanced surgical planning and patient education. Using 3D imaging technology, patients can visualize potential results before surgery and take a more active role in selecting a size and look aligned with their goals. The procedure is paired with The LaVie Institute’s post-surgical recovery program, which includes lymphatic therapy and other healing modalities designed to support healing and recovery.
“Women are asking thoughtful questions before breast augmentation surgery,” said Dr. Lily Daniali, a board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in aesthetic breast surgery and co-founder of The LaVie Institute. “My patients have busy schedules, family commitments, professional lives, and a desire to stay active. They want a personalized breast enhancement procedure that allows them to return to their lives quickly with minimal discomfort while achieving reliable results. The Preservé technique was designed with those priorities in mind.”
In a three-year clinical follow-up of the Preservé technique, researchers reported no observed cases of permanent sensation loss and no observed cases of capsular contracture during the follow-up period.
Based on these findings to date, the procedure may be particularly appealing to women seeking a natural look, a shorter recovery period, and a more predictable surgical experience.
