Can Brava Be Used on One Side?

I'm not looking for total perfection and I don't care about making both of my breasts larger (my larger breast is about a 34 B/C and the smaller one is about a 34 A/B). Can Brava be used on just one breast to lessen the asymmetry?

I hope this helps.

Consider BRAVA and fat grafting

Hello, Thank you for your question. Depending on your breasts and you availability of fat you may elect to use the BRAVA system to expand the smaller breast and use fat grafting at the completion of the expansion to finalize the volume augmentation. The use of BRAVA alone would result in an increase in breast volume while using it and then a slow decrease back to essentially where you started. All the best, Dr Remus Repta
