In recent years, many new breast implant materials have been introduced to Taiwan. Although Sebbin, introduced in 2021, arrived later than the long-established Mentor line and the Motiva implants that followed, it is also very popular, and it now holds an important place in breast augmentation. This article explains what Sebbin is, what makes it distinctive, and answers the questions people considering breast augmentation most often ask.
About Sebbin Implants
Sebbin implants, also known as "Sebbin breast implants," are made by Sebbin, a major French manufacturer with more than 35 years of experience in medical implant technology. Sebbin holds a high share of the global market, set off a wave of enthusiasm when it first launched, and is now widely used in more than 60 countries.
Sebbin combines the characteristics of traditional smooth and textured surfaces, using a new type of "micro-textured" shell that reduces the risk of capsular contracture after surgery, feels extremely soft, and requires no massage, saving a lot of hassle, which is why many women love it.

Features of Sebbin Implants
Imported from France, with more than 10 years of clinical follow-up
Sebbin implants are made by the long-established manufacturer Sebbin and are 100% imported from France. The company has more than 35 years of experience in medical implants, and more than 20 articles in international journals and 10-year follow-up reports have been published, providing scientific evidence that Sebbin implants are "high-quality breast implants" and earning trust around the world.
Strict quality control
Sebbin implants are medical devices approved by the Taiwan FDA and the US FDA, and they hold CE certification issued by MDC Stuttgart, Germany, one of Europe's best-known third-party certification bodies. Each implant goes through a strict manufacturing process, with 100% monitoring and repeated testing, to ensure patients can use it safely.
Innovative micro-textured surface
Sebbin uses a brand-new "micro-textured" surface. It is a round, micro-textured implant that behaves like a smooth-surface implant: the shell has low surface roughness and is classified as "smooth" under international ISO standards. This new surface lowers the chance of capsular contracture while combining the advantages of smooth and textured surfaces. The material is soft, bonds well with surrounding tissue, is unlikely to shift, and requires no massage.
Implants can be traced at any time
Every Sebbin implant is laser-marked with the manufacturer's identification code, so implant information can be traced at any time. Because no IC chip is implanted, it does not interfere with medical diagnosis or treatment, and it better protects patient privacy.
Lifetime warranty
If an implant ruptures or grade III or IV capsular contracture develops, it can be replaced free of charge for life, ensuring long-term safety and peace of mind.

How Does a Sebbin Implant Feel?
Sebbin's main selling point is its high softness. The implant has a round, micro-textured surface and is filled with a biocompatible, medical-grade material. The gel is highly cohesive with a thicker consistency and also has excellent extensibility, so it feels gentle yet firm to the touch and is softer than other smooth-surface implants, so there is no need to worry that it will feel rock hard.

Sebbin vs. Motiva: What's the Difference? Pros and Cons Compared
Sebbin and Motiva are both very popular implants, but people often confuse them because the names are so similar and they share many of the same advantages. The table below gives a quick look at how the two differ.
| Category | Sebbin | Motiva |
|---|---|---|
| Gel | Highly cohesive soft gel | Flowable gel |
| Feel | Soft | Soft and bouncy |
| Fill rate | 100% | 100% |
| Pros | The surface has a very special nano-scale texture that lowers the chance of capsular contracture, combining the advantages of smooth and textured implants. It is also very soft, comes closest to the feel of a natural breast, and costs less than Motiva. | Once placed, the implant conforms closely to the skin, which can lower the risk of complications such as allergy and inflammation. Compared with smooth-surface implants, the chance of capsular contracture is lower, and no massage is needed. The material itself flows and shifts naturally with gravity, so the surgical incision can be smaller. |
| Cons | In women with thinner skin, the upper breast may not look full enough | It is not as soft as Sebbin and feels bouncier, which may put off people who want a soft, natural feel. The surgery also costs more. |
FAQ
How soon can I exercise after Sebbin breast augmentation?
Avoid intense exercise right after surgery. If you love working out, you can start again about one month after surgery, but it is best to begin with lower-body exercises and avoid movements that use the chest muscles; you can return to normal activity after 6 months. Everyone's body is different, so discuss it with your doctor.
Is massage needed after Sebbin breast augmentation?
Sebbin is a round, micro-textured breast implant. A micro-textured surface is closer to human tissue, with higher compatibility and safety. Its contact points are small, so it is less likely to irritate the capsule cells and cause capsular contracture, and massage is actually not needed after surgery. If you notice some tightness in the skin of your breasts, you can ask your doctor about gentle pressing, but never press too hard, or it may backfire.
Can I breastfeed after Sebbin breast augmentation?
Sebbin augmentation generally does not interfere with breastfeeding, and it does not cause the hard, plastic-like breasts people worry about, so there is no need to worry too much. It does depend on the surgical incision, though. If the incision is near the areola, some milk ducts may be cut, which can affect the flow of some breast milk. If this is a concern, discuss using an incision in another location with your doctor before surgery.
How long until I can return to normal life after breast augmentation?
Mild swelling and pain for about 3 days after surgery are normal reactions. During this time you can take antibiotics as directed by your doctor, and the stitches can usually be removed after about 1 to 2 weeks, when you can resume normal life. However, pay special attention to keeping the wound clean and maintaining a healthy routine and diet to avoid wound infection, which would cause unnecessary trouble and make recovery longer.
