I know this thread's a little old, but I've just been looking around a bit and thought I'd add my 2 cents.
When I began using BRAVA for the 11 weeks I used it for prior to the fat transfer, my BRAVA coach (as well as the DVD that came with the system) said NOT to use a bra (of any kind) at all during the process. If you think about it, BRAVA works partly by creating new blood vessels, as well as causing cell (fat and breast) replication. Any compression interferes with the circulation necessary for blood vessels and new cells to survive.
The DVD had shown a pic of a loose, silky cami as an example of what was OK to use. I would imagine a sports bra offers the most compression!
Also for me now, I still can't wear a bra during the post-surgical period of BRAVA use. Pretty much for the same reasons, in addition to interfering with the survival of the transferred fat. HTH!
