SHARING BRAVA RESULTS

A few BRAVA Users offered to share their BRAVA experience with us. So we are now sharing these with you so you can get a better idea of the Brava experience and how you can feel too. All photographs are unretouched.

Meghan, 21

I decided to go with the Brava because I felt it was a much better alternative than breast implants. I have done some modeling and acting, and it has always been suggested to me that getting implants would both flatter my figure and increase demand for my work. I, too, desired bigger breasts, but did not want anything foreign or unnatural in my body; that just wasn't an option to me. I liked the fact that with the Brava, you can enhance your breasts NATURALLY, because the suction works to increase the breast tissue you already have. I didn't want huge breasts either; the idea of increasing one-cup size was perfect for me. Also, I really liked that I had control over what I was doing to enhance my body, and that I was doing it for me.

For me, using the Brava was easy and really uncomplicated. Wearing the contraption didn't hurt or even feel uncomfortable. It felt awkward at first, having those two huge domes in front of me, but I got used to it. I wore it at night, when I was sleeping. The only problem I had with it was if I rolled over during my sleep, the seal of one of the domes might be broken... but that was okay, since the alarm in the SmartBox box went off to let me know. This only happened a couple of times anyway. After removing the domes, there was some redness and indentations around the breast area, but that went away quickly.

Brava has changed my life in that I feel more confident, more "in proportion" to my body, and more sexy. It's a lot more fun to go to the beach, for me anyway, just because I have that confidence. It's a subtle difference, but people have definitely noticed the change. I feel great about it, and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. I went from a 32B, and now I'm a 32C.

I'm a full-time student so that takes up most of my time. The Brava actually helped me in my studies since I had to be home in time to wear it for the full 10 hours! I was home early most school nights because I had early classes, and I was able to study a lot more. I love going to the beach, and I really like to surf. One of my greatest passions is actually baking, and I could do a whole lot of that while wearing the Brava. As I mentioned before, I also do some modeling and acting, and I think my confidence has really made a difference in how I present myself when I'm at a casting; and that really helps in getting a job. Here are two pictures of me before and two of me after.

Christina, 29

I wore Brava every day for 10 hours a day for 17 weeks and grew more than a half a cup size. (as you can see a lot of my growth was in the upper portion of my breasts). I was a 34A, now I wear a 34B and I have cleavage. Brava lets me wear push up bra's and low cut shirts because now I have something to push up. I used Brava over a year ago and my breasts are still a 34B.

I am 29 very athletic, have a slender frame and have never had children. These made me a very slow responder, but I still grew more than half a cup size. The best thing about Brava is when you take it off after wearing it for 10 hours your breasts are huge. This is swelling initially but the longer you wear Brava the less swelling you have and the more real breast tissue you grow. You can be as discrete as possible because you can do this in the privacy of your own home.

I like Brava because you can control exactly how big your breasts can become. It is addicting because you always want more. That is why I chose to wear Brava for 17 weeks. I was concerned about the shape of my breasts changing because I like their shape. The only change is that they became much fuller. I got a 360-degree fullness because they grew in every direction. They look natural because they are, unlike implants that look very artificial. The only problem that I had with skin irritation was when I didn't wash the domes every morning. The dead skin cells and sweat caused a little bit of redness not enough to stop wearing Brava but it cleared up after I washed the domes everyday and used some cortisone cream. To use Brava, it takes time and someone with patience, so if you want a Pam Anderson look overnight Brava isn't for you. However if you just want to lift and add fullness to what you already have, you will be happy with the results.

Terry, age not given

Here was the news from my entertainment director, "I've got great news. In order to stay competitive with the other shows on the Las Vegas Strip, six more of you will be going topless."

That is how it started.

I've worked for ten years as a professional dancer, and have managed to keep my AA size breasts to myself and safely under padded bra.

And now, thanks to some 'great news', approximately 500 audience members, twice a night, six nights a week were about to learn just upon how much padding I relied. I did have options. They were:

Therapy- I didn't think 4 months of counseling would make up for 16 years of self-imposed inadequacies.
Quit my job. The only other 'covered' show hiring at the time offered a sizable pay cut and temporary loss of benefits.
Boob job. I've seen many in my career. They are obvious, expensive, usually ugly once the bra comes off, and even uglier if one has to move her arms.

I was stuck with option number four; hating my job due to embarrassment.

Then, two days after the 'great news', a fellow dancer had a copy of Brava's March Elle magazine article lying on her dressing room station. I read it then, hit the web site that night, found a physician within minutes, and confirmed the next available appointment.

Over the first 10-week phase, the comments I received from fellow dancers and wardrobe personal included.
    "Did you get a boob job? They're beautiful."
    "You've recently lost weight but your boobs still look full."
    "Are you taking one of those breast enhancement pills?"
    and..."Did you get a boob job?", she said as she softly tapped the side of my breast, "Nope, those are real."

Brava was my only true option. This system is comfortable and I love it. It is truly addicting. So much so, I'm in the middle of my second 10-week phase. I'm pleased with the results so far.

Opening night of my topless debut hasn't arrived yet, and yes, I am nervous and apprehensive, but at least I am confident with how my body will look for 500 audience members, twice a night, six nights a week. And in my opinion, that is GREAT NEWS!

Here I am before and now after completing the System

Samantha, 27

I was seriously considering breast implants, but I didn't want to have something fake inside me and I was afraid it would look bad. Besides when I told doctors I only wanted to go up a cup size, they said they didn't like to go below 300 cc. I wondered why they got to decide how big my breast should be and part of me was afraid I'd wake up with whatever breasts the doctor wanted. So I got on line hoping for a miracle break thought to make my breasts grow. I tried the herbal pills before and of course they didn't work. I found BRAVA and started to research it. I looked for news reports and before and after pictures. I was really excited about BRAVA, all of my findings said it worked. The very next day I called and ordered.

When I got the BRAVA system I realized that I probably wouldn't be able to go unnoticed in public with it on, but I hadn't planned on it. I wore it while I slept. I'd put it on when I knew I was in for the evening, wore it all night, and when I got up I took it off. Every morning I woke up with much larger breasts due to the swelling. For at least 3 hours after I took the system off everyday I had something to look at. I must have tried on every bra and bathing suit I had. Sleeping on my back wasn't a problem; I had been doing that anyway. I wore the system for 10 weeks an average of over 12 hours a day. The last couple of weeks I was wearing it I had been sick on and off and some nights I didn't feel like wearing it the whole time. Even with the missed time my results were significant. I didn't think I had grown that much, not only because I was use to the size with the swelling, but because I forgot how small I use to be. I took pictures topless before and after and when I compared the two I couldn't believe what a difference the BRAVA system had made. When I started I was a 34 A at best, now I can fit my 34 B bras I've been waiting to wear.

I plan on using the BRAVA again in a couple of months. I can't wait to see how much growth I can get. The best part is that its real breast tissue and my breast shape has stayed the same only fuller. So, I don't have to look in the mirror at implants and wish I hadn't ruined my body.

There are some sacrifices. I had to make sure I was home at night in time to get at least 10 hours. I also had to miss out on snuggling with my husband at night. But it's only 10 weeks out of a lifetime. It's worth it. If you want to grow more than a cup size, either you need to be willing to put some time into the BRAVA or you could always stuff plastic bags in your chest. The choice was easy for me.

Staci, 39

My name is Staci, I am a single 39 year old mother of one child. I was a professional dancer most of my life with a small framed dancers body and small 34B size chest to go with it. After I had my son, I noticed my breasts began to sag and decided to go to a couple of breast augmentation consultations. I never had the guts to go through with the surgery, the thought of getting cut open and putting a foreign object in my body did not sit well with me, all I ever wanted was just one more size bigger. Then I saw the Brava commercial on television, I felt this was exactly what I was looking for. In August 2003 I purchased the Brava system, I could not wait to get my hands on it! After using the Brava medical system for eleven weeks I have gained 1 1/2 inches of growth, I went from a 34B to a full 34C! My breasts are larger and fuller and to top it off I have cleavage, which I never thought I would have. I just attended my twenty year high school reunion. I wore a racy red halter dress to show off my newly acquired cleavage. (See my after photo) One of my girlfriends whom I have not seen in twenty years said to me "Staci only you could get away with wearing that dress because your boobs are so perky". My response was "maybe someday I will tell you my secret." Thank you Brava for giving me another alternative other than plastic surgery, all it took was a little time and patience to get the same results and to top it off my breast are the real thing. Thanks again.

Natalia, 28

I can't tell for sure when I first noticed the size of my breasts and became unhappy with them. It must've been a long time ago, since it's been a sore subject for me for as long as I can remember. All the time growing up, in fact all the way up to 3 months ago, I wished that my chest were larger and fuller. I loved my body, but completely hated my breasts. They just didn't fit my frame! Then...Brava came along.

I remember watching a commercial on TV, and wondering if this would work for me, or would it be something expensive that will yield no results. Months went by, and one day, right out of the blue I decided to research Brava more in depth. I was completely against surgery, and I would never try those joke-natural enhancing creams that some companies tried so hard to sell (my background is chemical engineering so reading about active ingredients is in my blood-those creams would never work!). So I read, and read, and read some more about Brava, and was impressed with what I found out. Oh Goodness, this could actually work for me! So I went ahead and ordered the system-well, my husband actually ordered it for me as an anniversary present...

After 10 weeks my breast size increased from a full 34A to a small 34C. I am so very happy! For the first time in my life, I actually love my breasts! I plan on wearing the system again, for 10 more weeks, sometime in the future, just to see if I can reach a full C cup. The system is somehow difficult to wear in the beginning, but in a few short days, you get used to it. It was like a second skin to me, and I sometimes wore it in public. Funny thing was that after so many years of being embarrassed with the size of my chest, wearing out the DD domes really got a lot of heads turning. So, I completely fell in love with my Brava! Right before Thanksgiving, the 10 weeks were up, and my demanding schedule made it impossible for me to wear the system for 10-16 hours every day. I really wanted to wear it longer, but the results, after the 10 weeks were amazing.

All I can say is that the Brava system works. As one of the other ladies over here said, now I actually have cleavage! That's the one thing I never thought I'd see! I love my breasts!!! For the first time in my life, I actually love my breasts! And to me, that's worth so very much! Buh-bye padded bras...hello lacy lingerie! Yahooooooo!!!!!

Paula, no age given

Thrilled Brava User I just watched the 20/20 show with Barbara Walters on the Brava System. I wanted you to know that I just completed a 15-week program and am absolutely thrilled. I don't want to stop using it! When I started I did not fill out an A cup. I am now a full B. Granted, it takes commitment and perseverance, but it is well worth it. The Brava Staff were always friendly and prompt. I had to send my SmartBox back twice and had to have my domes replaced once, but the customer service was great. My prescribing physician is Dr. T. Schwartzenfeld of Madison Heights, MI. He and his assistant Regina were great also and very supportive. Again, I have been very happy with my Brava Experience.
Thank You,
Paula

FYI: I emailed Barbara (Walters) to let her know there were more happy Brava users out there.

Amy, no age given

My name is Amy and I have been a Brava user for about a year now. I started using your system because I have a large difference between the sizes in my breasts and I didn't want to give into surgery. I am currently in school (healthcare) and being in the health care field I am very aware of the affects of scar tissue on a persons general feeling of health. I was ecstatic to find out about your product because it gave me the answer I was looking for.

Before using Brava I had to wear inserts on in the left side of my bra to partially even me out. The difference between cup size was about a cup and a half, Istill need to go about one more round with Brava to even myself out but the difference between then and now is remarkable.

I'm so much more comfortable with myself and my clothes fit better. I don't need to wear the inserts anymore even though, I still have a ways to go before I'm even and it looks right at least now my clothes are comfortable. I fully support your company from both a customer's point of view and as a (future healthcare professional) person who is concerned about the harm women are doing to their bodies with breast implants. I would like to get involved some way with getting the information of Brava out into the public.

Miss P., no age given (asked if real name not be used)

I have used Brava almost 300 days and have 300 cc's growth in each side! Don't get me wrong, the equipment is hard work and annoying at times. Most worthwhile endeavors have a cost--no pain, no gain. Exercise, dieting, nutrition, marriage, parenting, etc. are frustrating too. I could complain--Brava is uncomfortable after 10 hours, at times it's painful, it gets really old wearing it every day, the domes are a hassle once the stickiness wears off, I have to clean the darn equipment everyday...BUT my breasts have permanent, natural growth!!!

Small breasted women have different options these days--get a boob job, learn to love your breasts the way they are, take pills, or persevere with Brava. We small-breasted women have a hard enough time in a world surrounded by boob jobs, so know that there is a more natural way to grow your breasts. The results are subtle and the process is long and hard, but the breasts really do grow.

Ms. G, 42 (asked if real name not to be used)

I'm 42 - was born a preemie (by two months) so I have always been slender with a slight frame. Since high school I've been 100-108 pounds - 5' 3" tall. I now have one child.

I decided to use the BRAVA System because one breast is slightly smaller than the other - I measured at 31 and a half inches. I was wearing a 32B bra although one side didn't fill out completely. After 10 weeks of consistent wear -- averaging 13.5 hours a day - I went from a 31 1/2 inches to 33 inches.(Ugh - another odd size!)

I am going to keep wearing BRAVA and hopefully measure out at 34. Right now I can wear a 32B, but it is snug, or I can wear a 34C but it's a little loose in one side. I am still slightly larger on one side - I hope to completely even out -- but I'm not unhappy, both my breasts are firmer and fuller -- so I'm happy. I am currently in my second 10 week session.
