THE BRAVA SYSTEM

The Brava System
Does Brava work? Can the Brava System enhance the size of your breasts? The Brave Does work. HOWEVER, it barely adds much breast tissue (in their own brochure which I picked up at a cosmetic surgery show, it states the final increase to be 90-100cc on the 3 patients they gave as examples. The average breast implant used for cosmetic breast enlargement is over three times that amount. To obtain an increase of one cup size, it requires about 175 cc to 200 cc. At $2500, the Brava is EXTREMELY expensive, and the Brava requires a lot of time (minimum 10-week, 10-hour a day treatment, a total of 700 hours!) and obviously, patience. For a little bit more money and less aggravation, get exactly the breast size you want in a lot less time by getting breast implants. Yes, there are risks with breast augmentation surgery, however, if you find a good, experienced and qualified surgeon, risks become minimal.
Risks of Brava:
Holly Millea from Good Morning America said, "I feel almost like I have plungers on . . . Like strong men are pulling my breasts away from my chest." The Brava can cause contact dermatitis, an itchy skin condition and soreness. Pregnant or lactating women, those with history of breast cancer, or those who have had a mastectomy cannot use the Brava System.
Cost:
Brava Systems can only be obtained from doctors and the retail price is $2500. Brava systems are sold to physicians for about $1,400. The doctor is totally responsible for any refunded money. They take all the responsibility, Brava takes none. The doctors get Brava credits for returned units, they are not refunded their actual cost.
FDA:
The Brava does have FDA approval, but only as an unregulated device. The FDA cannot say whether any growth will last or how long it will last. Nor can they state whether or not the Brava suctioned breast tissue will be healthy.
One woman who was kicked out of the clinical trials states, "I didn't get any growth, I did experience skin problems, I found the thing extremely uncomfortable, and I wouldn't be caught dead outside my house in it! And I certainly would have messed up their ability to print that all the woman in the clinical trials reported satisfactory results!" She also added, "My doctor currently has more (Brava) credits than she needs."
