I had my 270cc saline removed 8wks ago, after 15 yrs. I'm now an AA. I'm not interested in implants. I'm slender, so fat transfer may be problematic. I'm looking only to fluff them a little....half a cup would be fabulous! Last post-op visit my PS suggested trying BRAVA. My questions are: 1) if I do get a little improvement from BRAVA (about 100cc of growth), will it be permanent? 2) if not permanent, about how long do results last between sessions? 3) will it ultimately stretch out skin more?

Answer: Straight Answers BRAVA is cumbersome and compliance is a real issue. I have never found any permanence with BRAVA in the absence of fat injections. The rule of thumb is you gain one cc for every day you use the BRAVA but it tends to last only a few days to a few weeks. Skin stretch is generally not a problem.To derive 100 cc volume from fat would require an 800cc fat harvest. It may be possible to find that much fat even on a slender person such as your self. Fat tends to reabsorb approximately 50% and the processing of fat for injection cuts the harvested volume by 50%. So four times more fat is needed to obtain the desired results. The most reliable method for breast augmentation is with the use of implants. That is why the procedure is so popular.I hope this helps.

Answer: BRAVA and fat grafting If the fat takes the results are permanent. Usually the fat take is not like the amount of an average size breast implant. It often needs repeating. Best to luck.
