Would I still need to wear a Brava prior to a fat transfer if my skin is already stretched from breast feeding then volume loss?

Asked By:lex_ladybug in Alexandria, VA

I am considering a fat transfer for breast augmentation. My breasts are barely a B after three years of breastfeeding. I was routinely a full B prior to breastfeeding and my breasts increased to over a D cup while nursing. My question is, if my skin has already been stretched because there was previously more breast tissue/breast volume, and that volume is now gone, would I still need to wear a Brava? I am trying to understand what exactly the Brava does, and if it is required in all cases.
