left side swelling sooo much !

my left breast has always been oh so slightly bigger, but now the swelling on the left is sooo noticeable, like a half cup to a full cup size bigger in the morning. I had started out really inconsistently the past 3 weeks so i've started over and today is my third official day. first day wore it for 17 hours, 2nd day 14, and today 12 cuz i'm going to keep the one on my right for an additional 3 hours (to make 15)
is there anyway to increase pressure on one side only using the airlock? so that i dont have to cut my hours short since i need to keep the system on longer for one side only?
thanks!

i figured out how to increase pressure on one side : i just split up the air lock and use blue tack as a 'stopper' : it works for now. Anyways i was wondering if its possible to have too much swelling - it appears that there is some sort of clear liquid from my nipple? i did grow yours for a couple of days in the past, well a week before using brava for the first time (so like 3 weeks ago) and today its the first time it happened.....has anybody else experienced this?

i teared down an european style outlet plug and used each pin as an airlock so i can increase suction on my right boob and be more gentle with the left. good luck

Another way is to fold the tube and put a clothespeg / bulldog clip on it. I airlocked tighter on the right for literally about 2 days and the right was then bigger than the left for weeks! The left is bigger now, and I do think it's becoming more noticeable but too worried I'll make it uneven the other way round - I don't think a man would notice. Brava advise you to do it the same on both until you've done the number of weeks you intended then do another 2-3 weeks only on the smaller side (I would think you could put a silicone bra filler in the other cup to match the swelling).

Lexy, did you regularly use more suction on the right? Is the bony ridge worse on the right than the left?

i did more suction on the right for a few hours and it seemed to catch up...i used blue tack to cover the opening of the airlock for the other side and it worked well.
what about the liquid from the nipples? I've never heard of this happening on brava...has anybody experienced this?

ironicly enough the bone swelling is more on the left where i used less suction. and yea when i used the airlock during the day most of the time i would suck just a bit more on the right. enough so i could see that both breasts were the same size.

That's how I did mine too - sucked the smaller one till it hurt then did the other to match, I honestly did it about 3 days but I think that's what gave me the lump. I forgot to have a good poke this evening for lumps but I really have checked thoroughly before with domes off for 12 hours and seems to be only the small lump I mentioned not a whole ring. Is your getting any less? Is any growth remaining?

hey louise,
well after 14 hours i get some remaining growth about 5 hours...im barely an A and with the swelling now its like a 32B in the morning, but its only my first week so I hope this will increase. Today was my second night with lost suction overnight and I'm trying to compensate with putting in extra hours in the day but there simply isnt enough hours in the day!!!! do you think its possible to achieve a C with 10 hours of wear over 30 weeks?
