WORTH IT
Righty lost volume around the bottom. Not ideal, but I don’t want to do more surgery so I can live with it. I am comfortable and happy with my body and do and wear whatever I want. I am pleased and grateful!

Blundy - you look terrific! Very natural results and the donor sites look untouched. This was a great choice for you. I agree -more people should have this option. Thank you for sharing your journey.

I almost teared up when I saw your final results because you look so normal! I had a bilateral mastectomy 6 years ago with implants. Having them removed and doing BRAVA+AFT starting next month. I am nervous and would love to ask you some questions if you are open to it. Thank you!

Belly is less painful and the dent is less pronounced. No other changes.

I’m so inspired by you! I think your breasts are looking beautiful and Real! I also had a nipple sparing double mastectomy. Since my skin was already stretched out by implants, my surgeon did an immediate reconstruction using new implants. The results are unnatural looking and lumpy breasts. I’ve posted a question and photos about what could be done to make them look better. Perhaps I should consider Brava myself.

Bruising is almost gone. Belly and inner thighs are still somewhat tender. The hard lumps at the incisions in my groin and around the dent on my belly are still there. Lost a bit of volume in my breasts, but the improved shape seems to be holding on.
