Got Fat Transfer to Breast, Preparing for Second Round, Best Practice for Aftercare?
I recently got fat transfer to breast and had a small increase in size.I did not use the Brava or any pump prior to the sx which now i am regretting.My doc saved the fat for touchs ups by freezing it with certain rules to make it viable.

Will this be sufficient for use prior to touch up sx or should i get the brava? also,i think i will need a small lipo touch up, can i get this at 3months postop? thanks in advance!

Brava for fat grafting to the breast. The horse is out of the barn
You have a great question and quite a dilemna. The Brava device is the best way to put your best foot forward with fat transfers to the breast. It upgrades the vascularity of the recipient site and helps to make any fat transfer more successful. Ideally it would have been better to use the Brava prior to your main fat transfer.

Got Fat Transfer to Breast, Best Practice for Aftercare?Answr:
I a so skeptical of fat transfer to the breast to give anything but the small result that you have noticed and the need for continued expense and treatment.

I have done multiple implants on failed fat transfers but then, maybe I only see the ones that don't work!

Brava versus noogleberry
Brava's been studied scientifically- we know it works. Noogleberry, while cheap to buy, has no studies to definitively prove that it works "just the same" as a brava device.
If it were up to me, I'd recommend the proven product (= Brava) until Noogleberry comes up with their own studies.

Negative pressure protocol
The best aftercare program I know of is associated with the BRAVA program. The drawback is you have to buy the BRAVA system in order to get the protocol.

Fat transfer for breast
Fat transfer to the breast for augmentation is still a bit controversial. The take is not perfect and often requires multiple treatments. It is unclear if the BRAVA system enhances take. You should discuss this with your surgeon.

BRAVA
You have excellent questions that should be addressed to your surgeon. He is in the best position to answer these concerns since he performed your original surgery. The Brava is an excellent device to increase the circulation to the breast tissue, temporarily increase the breast size to improve the fat take or survival. It allows for more volume increase with fat transfer. The Brava is not the easiest device to wear but if tolerated can improve the results.
