This nonsurgical system is based on the principle of tissue expansion. It is built around the belief that gentle, sustained tension can promote the growth of breast tissue.

The principle is similar to that of breast reconstruction in breast cancer patients. But instead of placing an implant inside the breast to form its shape, it uses a vacuum applied to the outside of the busts.

The device features two silicone gel-rimmed domes that must be worn for a few hours daily. Some brands require a maximum of three hours, while others need at least 10 hours for the device to take effect.

Women who desire to enhance the size of their breasts should use the device for around 8-10 weeks.

The said plastic domes are connected to a microprocessor-controlled vacuum pump that exerts pressure on the breasts. The pump performs external suction to gradually expand the skin of your breasts.

Also, the pressure helps activate the body’s production of new breast tissue, which is responsible for increasing the volume of one’s busts.

The average cost of a device is $2,500. However, there are cheap enhancement systems that you can get for as low as $70.

That’s a significantly low amount compared to the cost of implant surgery.

Several accounts have been reported backing up the effectiveness of the breast enhancement system. These women have tried various brands and shared some positive results.

• A 24-year-old user experienced an increase in bust size from 32 AA to 32 A after 20 weeks of using the Enhance Breast Enlargement System.
• On a similar note, a 42-year old female noticed fuller breasts after using the same brand for eight weeks.
• Meanwhile, one BRAVA System user achieved a full C after using the device for eight weeks. She was initially a B-size, and she had undergone cosmetic surgery prior to using the system but had the implant removed.
• Another user also noticed that her busts got rounder and larger after using the Size Matters Breast Enhancement System for her first few weeks.

Aside from these accounts, several studies have also shown the effectiveness of the enhancement system in the growth of breasts.

• One study on the use of the BRAVA system showed how the device helped in the reconstruction of the breasts of a 57-year-old patient after mastectomy.
• Seventeen healthy women participated in a study involving breast enlargement using a system that applies a 20-mmHg vacuum to their breasts.
  
  The study showed an increased breast size in all women over the 10-week treatment. All participants were satisfied with the outcome, concluding that the daily use of an expansion system is effective.

While several studies support the effectiveness of the breast enhancement system, it is worth noting that using the device has some reported setbacks and side effects.

Imagine wearing the device for three to 10 hours daily for several weeks. It just won’t work for some of its intended users.

One problem with this device is difficulty in user compliance. It is hard for young and middle-aged women to wear this device for hours, especially if they are career women, homemakers, have children, and are sexually active.

Missing a session can significantly impact the result of this method.

While the system is effective, there are instances wherein the vacuum pump malfunctions.

Sometimes, users fail to maintain the seal. This prevents the machine from exerting the pressure required to achieve tension.

This results in a waste of time as the system fails to do its function.

To make matters worse, this problem goes unknowingly. There is no way for the user to determine if the device is already malfunctioning, not until she sends her recorded data through the modem.

Few studies found out the potential side effects of the system on the skin.

In one study, 35.7% of patients who used the BRAVA System suffered from severe skin lesions that resulted in the discontinuation of the treatment.

Another study revealed that blisters appeared in 5% of patients who used the system. This also led to a stop in the use of BRAVA.
