The Basics
BRAVA works by placing a gentle amount of tension (three-dimensional
pull) on the breasts, and when sustained, the result is new breast
tissue. This technique, known as tissue expansion, is not new; just
the application is. For the last 30 years, the medical profession
has used this same scientific principle to grow tissue for several
medical procedures, including breast reconstruction and lengthening
of limbs. BRAVA, which holds numerous patents, is new because it uses
this principle to non-surgically grow the soft tissue of the breast.
In fact, The BRAVA Breast Enlargement and Shaping System is the only
medical device that uses in vivo tissue engineering for cosmetic enlargement.
Clinical research indicated that women who complied with the procedure
experienced an increase in breast volume, which ranged from 35cc to
250cc of lasting tissue growth.
Not a Breast Pump
Some women refer to The BRAVA System as a gentle breast pump, but in BRAVA's case, the tension placed on your breasts causes the breast tissue to actually grow. When placed directly on the nipple, breast pumps exert a strong amount of pressure that induces the
production or release of breast milk. Breast pumps are used for a very limited amount of time, until the desired milk flow has been achieved. With BRAVA, the tension exerted is very gentle (only 15 to 30mmHg) and when it is sustained for at least 11 hours a
day over the entire area, the result is the gradual production of new breast tissue. Please see the boxout to the right for further information.
Phases
In the first phase of wear, the initial increase that you will see
is made up of mostly swelling with a very small amount of lasting
tissue growth. However, as you continue to use The BRAVA System, real
tissue growth will slowly begin to take place and by the end of treatment,
there is a greater proportion of true tissue growth to swelling. The
following chart illustrates the BRAVA Growth Cycle.
Recording Your Progress
Taking weekly photographs of your progress best evidences this growth.
This will help to remind you of your starting point. (This may seem
unnecessary; however, even after surgical augmentation, many women
forget how they looked prior to the surgery.) It is a good idea to
take these photographs in a form fitting bra or bathing suit top.
This way you actually see the changes. You will notice that you will
begin to fill out the upper portion of your bra. It also helps to
encourage you through the process. |

Each day you wear BRAVA for at least 11 hours, you will notice that your breasts become swollen and enlarged. When you remove the System and have it off (no longer than 13 hours), the swelling subsides and your breast volume decreases. In fact,
each day you put the BRAVA System on and then take it off, you are going through the BRAVA growth cycle.
As the weeks progress and you repeat this seesaw (on and off) process each day, you will slowly begin to notice that even after you have had the domes off for a prolonged period of time, your breasts no longer experience a significant decrease in volume. You
are now experiencing tissue growth along with accompanying swelling. The amount of growth you are experiencing is about a drop full a day. You know you are at the midpoint of treatment when, before putting the System on for the next 11 hour cycle, the increase
you see is the final size you desire.
With BRAVA, the growth covers the entire breast area. BRAVA was designed to grow breast tissue in every direction, whereas gravity's effect is solely a downward pull causing the breast to sag.
