My ideal Preservé candidate is a patient who has not had a prior breast augmentation. If you’ve had a previous breast lift, that’s still typically fine. If you’ve had a previous breast reduction, it’s usually not ideal because the specific tissue plane I need to work in is often scarred and does not expand predictably with the balloon technique. 
For revision patients, the key detail is where your prior implant was placed. If you previously had an above-the-muscle augmentation, that plane is typically scarred, so Preservé is usually not an option. If you previously had an under-the-muscle augmentation, the above-the-muscle plane is often still healthy, which can make you a good Preservé candidate. 
And of course, patients who need a lift (mastopexy) can also be excellent candidates for Preservé, depending on anatomy and goals.
