tissue growth from Brava MAY NOT BE HEALTHY TISSUE!

This is my doctor's advice on Brava:


This is a challenging question. My primary answer when people ask about
cosmetics is to let them know that I don't involve myself in cosmetic
care. I would be happiest to know my patients are comfortable with who
they are and require "medicine" only to stay healthy. That said, there
are people who have an inciting force to change their appearance. There
is risk and high costs to all cosmetics, and Brava is no different. Here
is a website with some opinions you may want to consider:

If you plan to do something for breast enhancement, Brava is expensive and
time-consuming. It is probably, but not definetly, safer than surgery. I
hope this helps somewhat. I would certainly recommend you take some time
to think about why you want to do this and for whom you are doing this. I
would rather spend my time and money enjoying life/friends/family than
undergoing these procedures.

excerpts from link:

Although the company claims FDA-approval, the fact is that the only approval BRAVA has from the FDA is that it is allowed on the market as an unregulated device. The FDA cannot say whether any increase will last or how long it might last; they cannot even say whether the newly grown breast tissue will be healthy.

It has been known for a long time now that Brava are deceiving people about the approval thing. I'm just surprised that the FDA have never done anything to force them to correct their misleading statements.

I think you should stop using this. You might grow unhealthy breast tissue that might end up dying or being rejected by your body and causing serious problems!

We have to put a limit as to how far we will go to succomb to societal standards of beauty. Please don' do anything to jeopardize your health!

Thank you for your concern. but it falls on deaf ears. unless you have concrete proof stating that someone has had there problems you are 'warning' me of. i suggest you cease and desist. by the way i mean proof as in publications not opinions on forums like this one.good luck to all the girls here.goodluck to you jen on whatever you decide to do or just live with what you got.

sorry for the knee-jerk reaction. i'm not a doctor and really don't know what the tissue growth is like. i'm still researching ...

i might try Brava myself, so i'll keep this forum posted with my results if i do!

no prob. check out what the other posters have to say on that link you posted. i found one thing in common. the ones who complained the most are the ones who might have worn the system for longer wks but they would only wear them for 10-12 Hrs. if anything i have learned you have to make time for something like this to work. sustained pressure. just my opinion. good luck.
