Answer: Is the Brava system worth using for good results regarding fat grafting? I have not found it necessary in my practice. I perform this procedure on average about once a week.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Answer: BRAVA The BRAVA system was popular for a while in the early days of fat grafting, but most people find it such a nuisance to use that surgeons either stopped recommending it or never started... and didn't notice any difference in graft take! It doesn't appear to make much difference and certainly does not seem to justify the trouble and expense. So no, at the present time I don't believe there is sufficient evidence to suggest it is worth using.

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.
