WORTH IT$11,000
I've always been athletic and wanted larger breasts. Implants were not an option for me because the thought of putting something foreign in my body freaks me out. Plus I was not willing to sign up for having to get implants removed or replaced one day.

I wore the Brava device for 4 weeks prior to surgery and it was a complete pain in the butt not to mention a major hindrance on my social life. That said, I believe it was key to getting the results I wanted.

I had the surgery two days ago (April 20), and so far I am very pleased. I have moderate pain and bruising, but I can already tell my results are going to be great. Dr Placik and his nurse said everything went well. My follow up appointment is tomorrow, so I'll provide another update after that.

I started as a small B cup and wanted to be a full C. Dr Placik injected 415 cc in the left breast and 445 cc in the right.

Hi Chicagogirl, I'm 34 and I paid in full prior to the surgery. You have to pay in full, but I believe there are companies that will help you finance the procedure. I went back to work after a week and two days. I had the surgery on a Saturday and went back to work the following Monday.

Thank you for submitting your review! I am thinking about doing this procedure and debating whether I want to use the BRAVA system or not. Where did you purchase the BRAVA system and what was the cost? After reading you review and a few others I am more convinced that this would be an important step to achieve the results I'd be happy with.

Hi, I was wondering how long it took you to recover. I am thinking about the procedure but I have a 13 month at home! I have read some people feel pain up to 8 months post when trying to run?!?!?! Hope this is not the case. Did you have a lot of scarring? THanks in advance!

Hi I am wanting to have this done are you still happy with what you retained? Do you have any problems with lumps? Are you happy with the lipo part or do you gain weight in weird places? I am hoping to make a decision:) Thanks
