In a study published in the National Library of Medicine, it was found that long term breast enlargement is possible without surgery. It can be done with the use of an external tissue expander such as the Brava system.

The more this system is used, the better the results. So, women who use the Brava system on a regular basis can truly have bigger and firmer breasts in the long run.

Then again, in order for them to not be discouraged in using the external tissue expander, they need to be well aware of the lifestyle and time commitment that is necessary to achieve the expected or desired results.

The study involved controlled trials that showed how an external breast tissue expander can enlarge breasts without surgical methods. The resulting satisfaction obtained, however, has varied among the patients and the doctors.

The first author of the study evaluated her experience critically, and tried to determine the aspects that were connected to a successful result. She supervised fifty women during their usage of the Brava system from May 2003 until September 2005.

She obtained standardized photographs and volume measurements of the participants’ breasts at the start of the treatment procedure until a year after the treatment procedure had ended. During the last visit of the participants, they were asked to answer a questionnaire about how satisfied they were about the results.

Forty women were assessed during a span of roughly ten months after the treatment procedure. Some of them were taken out of the study due to noncompliance of the treatment procedure, significant weight change, and unwillingness to have follow-up visits.

The participants used the Brava system for 11 hours per day for 14 to 52 weeks. Seventy-five percent of these participants claimed that they were either very satisfied or satisfied with the results.

On the other hand, 12.5 percent of the participants claimed that they found the treatment to be bothersome in spite of seeing enlargement in their breasts and another 12.5 percent of the participants said that they did not achieve their desired growth, and hence were disappointed with the results.

Then again, the factors that were associated with such poor growth of breast tissues were low body mass index and less wear intensity. Overall, the satisfied users outweighed the dissatisfied ones.

The Brava Breast Enhancement procedure has been found to be safe and effective. Even better, its results have been found to be long lasting.

The Brava shaping system is actually a well-researched and clinically tested device that is used to naturally grow the breast tissues without non-medically proven alternative medications such as creams or pills, as well as surgical procedures.

The United States Food and Drug Administration has also reviewed the bra and classified it as a 510(k) Class II Medical Device. Thus, the sale of this bra is authorized.

In general, healthy women may use the Brava system without experiencing any adverse effects. Those who are not allowed to use the Brava system, however, include pregnant and lactating women.

Young women below 18 years old, whose breasts have not yet fully developed, are also not recommended to use the Brava system. Furthermore, women who have had mastectomy should not use this system as well.
