brava decreased my breast volume,,,, how is this possible? i'm devastated. I looked up online finally to see if there are women who have similar experiences as i do, and i found some. they put up their complaints online, but they did not provide solution. if any of you had same problems, and solved it please let me know, of course other than surgery.
also, my breast now feels different. Before i was able to feel something firm inside, but after brava, i feel nothing firm inside. i can just feel that it has decreased my volume significantly.

I've never heard of this and I've been on here for almost a year. How many weeks did you use Brava for? How many inches around was your starting measurement? How long have you been done for now?

I was a small B but now I can't even fill an A cup. I used brava for about a month, and could not continue because i definitely felt like it was doing more damage for me than good. i'm now wondering how i can get it back...
can you give me any suggestions?

I think it makes sense that it would decrease breast volume, if it isn't done for the amount of time to have some tissue growth. I know breastfeeding resulted in loss of volume for my breasts. I think stretching them out and deflating them continuously does that. Tissue doesn't start growing until around the 6th week, so it seems that if you don't go that long, all that has been done is stretching with no tissue growth. Sorrry! That sucks. My advice is to put them back on and do it for the 10 weeks. I know it's torture. Trust me, I'm not one to sugar coat it...it is torture for me...but I'm sticking it out. I put so much money and hope into it, that I don't want to give up without a fight. Can you try to go through it again? I know it's hard, especially after you lose those 4 weeks you put into it. I did that too...lost a bunch of time due to company, and then a few nights do to losing my sportbox piece. Sigh...what a drama!

I agree with Kristin, but would proffer that you need much more than ten weeks to get significant growth. I would say a minimum of 16, and an ideal of 20 weeks for the first cycle, to achieve noticeable growth.
It also seems to me that this is bravebrava having a few more worries about a different issue, and wanting to use a different name. Especially since you've 'both' only been doing brava for a month. I shouldn't say 'only' a month, because a month of whole nights strapped into this thing can feel like years, but, you know what I mean...in the scheme of things (I'm four months in!).
I felt the same way to begin with, as my denser tissue somehow seemed more spread or stretched or broken up or something, however, over time my breast tissue has become even more dense and firm than it was originally. And I mean considerably so. When I squeeze my breasts now, there is a round area beneath the nipple about the size of half an orange which is very firm. It was more like half a lemon before
