When does swelling start??

Hi everyone
I've just bought the Brava system and have been wearing it for two days. The suction is great (so good - it's sometimes hard to get off!) but as yet I have had no swelling at all. When I take it off after approx 12 hrs I've got deep red lines all around my boobs but no visible swelling. Is this right and does it take a week or so to kick in. I'm only 5ft 4 and quite tiny so no doubt I'll be a slow responder even though I've breast fed two children.
Your thoughts and advice would be very much appreciated.
Cheers - Jenny

Hi there,
I have not had any children (I'm only 20) but I am only 5ft (yes Im petite!) and weigh only 7st so I thought I would be a slow responder. I started off as a small 34B (I still am once the swelling goes down, maybe just a fuller 34B). I wore the Brava system for 11 hours on my first night (they recommend only wearing for 11hours during your first week, although I dont think it makes a big difference) and had a lot of swelling in the morning - up to a 34C/D which really surprised me as I didnt expect it! Maybe you are just a slow responder - have you had a good read at the Brava instruction manual? They say that actual tissue growth only starts in weeks 12-15 so maybe you will not see much growth until then. I would recommend that you wear the system for as long as you possibly can as each additional hour makes such a big difference to the size you are when you take it off.
I hope that is of some help to you, any questions feel free to ask!

You said that your Brava user guide said growth starts at week 12-15? but i remember mine said it starts at week 6-8, maybe they just realized 6-8 weeks are not realistic at all and changed the number.
