Brava after 15 weeks - results

Hi everyone,

Well some of you keep asking for results etc . I had to stop using after 15 1/2 weeks because I got a dreadful itchy rash but its gone now so I thought I would share my pictures with you of before , during and after. I haven't loaded them yet but will do later today or tomorrow.

So far so good the growth seems to be lasting. I was a small B cup after having breast fed 3 children from an original 34C. I swelled up to a 34 C or D during my wear period but its quite noticeable that if you wear the system for 14 hours there is a HUGE difference . I think i have averaged about 11 hours throughout with 2 missed days at different times , so I lost 10 days off my total wear time.

i will do it again after a few months off. My husband can see the difference although its more round the side of the breast in fullness rather than outward growth. I just seem fuller which will be hard to see from the pics. the side on shots are probably the best.

I'll post again shortly. Keep at it ladies as its hard work but I think worth it.

Lynn

PS I started on a Wide Large and didn't change but did nearly fill it, so next time I will need the larger one at some time I hope !

Hi Diana,

Thats tricky. I suppose yes as I was a full 34A but really struggling to fill my old B cups. So now I fill the B cup almost too much ! I need to go and get measured again.
Pics going up tonight through the forum-admin . So see for yourself.

Thanks , Lynn

You can still see my rash after 10 days of not using but it is going.

SENIOR MEMBER Nice! January 7 2007, 10:19 PM


You were right. yo can definitely see the difference on the side/profile view. i know you have got to be happy with your growth! what you got right there, that is what want. but , hey if we can grow more why not? that's great growth. hore you get even better results the next cycle. you could still fit into the wide large with out touching? that's impressive. have you tried putting some A and D ointment? like for diaper rash? it goes away fairly quickly.

Thanks Diana,

I got some cortizone when I got home from our break at Xmas and it worked a treat. I just couldn't get it in France without a prescription.....can you imagine having to explain to a French Dr. how I got the rash !!!

Hope this spurs you on to complete the course, I will try again as it seems to work !

STYS Lynn

Hi.
I used Brava for 8 months. I was a 32AA and got up to a small B. As soon as I stoped using the systems the results went, sorry. I am back to being a 32 AA. The customer service was crap. I think there is only 2 or 3 people there.

Hi Diana,
My full brava story is I started in December of 05, I used it til October 15th. I used it with out missing a day for 6 months, using it for at least 12 hours a day (that was my strict minimum). I am very thin so I was fully aware and willing to put in more time.
I then missed a full week, and started the system again even more riguous than before after another 3 months. Because of medical issues I had to stop.
I started yet again in December 06 and used it til Jan 07.
My system stoped working, the thing would not turn off one night, I woke up my boobs were sore and bruised and looked horrid. I called brava and they took forever to get back to me and I had to basically hound them just to get a response. They then told me I would have to pay another $100 to get the system fixed add that to the money I already paid then the $ 245 for extra domes. I just through in the towel. I am back to EXACTLY my usual breast size.
But I have no intention of giving up on finding something that works for me.

I am sorry you have gone through so much agony with brava. thats too bad. have you tried the other forums here. some people have had success with wonder up. others are doing good with bovine ovary. most all are massaging. there are some on single herb routines also. good luck. i hope you find somethin that works for you and interacts well with your body.

I am so sorry to hear that after so much effort, you ended up not gaining anything. I know there are a few others who had worn the system for even longer and gained nothing. Every time i hear a story like this, my heart sinks. Wasting time and engery is one thing, but the thing that bothers us the most is the disappointment it brings. I guess we all know how much our flat chests hurt our confidence.
I really hope i could help you out on this one. I myself have been on the system for almost 30 weeks(averaging 13 hours a day) with only 2 missing days. I started out looking just like Diana's before picture, now i am a 34B, but i don't really know how much it will shrink after i stop. of the two days i missed, both were because of ER visits for my children. After 36 hours of break, my breast did shrink quite a bit, and boy was I disappointed, although i know it's expected to shrink a little, it's still a shock to see the shrinkage.
I still believe in the tissue expansion theory, but i guess it's still unknown to us just how much swelling one needs in order to stimilate real growth. Brava's smart box really isn't the best device out there to give us good swelling. I used my smartbox for the first 15 weeks, i got pretty good swelling in the first 10, then my swelling just went down quite a bit, i tried using my breath to suction out some air before hooking on my smartbox, but still i wasn't getting enough swelling(only from a small A to a big B). Then i came across a post about airlock, the girl who wrote the post said that she got much better swelling from airlock, immediately i purchased an airlock off ebay and switched over. Airlock indeed gave me much better swelling, i am roughly a D in the morning and still a pretty decent B in the evening. I have since worn the system with airlock for another 15 weeks and still plan to wear it for 4 more weeks. I will keep you guys posted on my results after stopping.
