I had explant 3 months ago, due to capsulation and had biopsy done for ALCL ( thankfully, was negative) my left breast is very wrinkled compared to the right, and smaller. My surgeon recommends waiting 1 yr and to use the Brava system to help with a better result for the fat graft that he will perform.

Answer: Fat transfer and BRAVA I don't use BRAVA but as a patient I would question whether the benefits outweigh the costs / risks. You need to possibly see a lot of results in those who have had brava and maybe have more than one consult to look at results without BRAVA and make your own empowered decision to proceed.

Answer: Brava There is evidence that Brava helps with tissue expansion and improved fat take in fat grafting; however, due to the issues with its use it is very rarely recommended. Brava is associated with significant pain, hassle and blistering of the skin. Most surgeons, including those in our practice, do not use the Brava system.
