cleaveage border????

so i was feeling my breasts today before putting brava on. 90% of the swelling was gone and i payed more attention to my swollen cleaveage. i had noticed that long ago but never cared much about it until i started feeling it today. it's like a bone mass, exactly where the domes meet the boobs in the cleaveage area. it's like the part that was sucked into the domes at the edge stays permanently swollen. it feeles exactly like a 1 inch wide solid borderon the entire cleaveage, upper most point to the inner middle of each boob.
not sure if i managed to make myself understood, but if i did... is it just me?

I think I'm beginning to develop a hard lump on the cleavage side of the right boob - can feel it more when I really overdo it, it started when I noticed the left side was bigger so airlocked separately until they were equal size in the domes (so more pressure on the right). Only did this for a couple of days but the right was then bigger than the left for about 2 weeks, now it's back to normal. Think it's the bra that did it because it pushes the domes towards the middle and puts more pressure on the sternum. If you don't wear the bra the domes point outwards and to the sides diagonally - this makes the pressure more even all round and not concentrated on the sternum. I worry anything on the sternum is costrochondritis - however this doesn't seem to actually have any serious effects (just a scary name!) and the medical treatment for it is rest, which you'll do at the end of your session anyway. I'd just keep it to 11 hours for couple of days and check again. Mine's only really obvious when I overdo it and then it's painful esp when I take the domes off. It's not anything anyone else would notice on you so if you end up with nice boobs it's a small price to pay!

i have had this for a very long time since brava. and it's not between the boobs it's jusy where the boob starts. but i always thought it was wselling and never paid attention. until now when i realised it is solid. i also have a bump on one of the ribs on the sternum since a week after i started and that never went away completly. i made that cause i was trying to get then together in the middle and i overlapped them so i had great pressure on that area once or twice. i gave that up but the bump is still there. not as big but...
nothing looks bad and that border is covered by the fat on the boob but i can feel it. i'm thinking it may be cause i still wear the medium wide domes when i go out since it's autumn and i can cover them easely. i fill those out completly and my boobs take the shape of the dome's inside. not sure yet.
so i'm the only one?

No, I meant that's exactly what I have, on the cleavage side of the right boob kind of where the silicone meets the plastic. It's a kind of bony lump in the boob but you can't push it around like a cyst or a boil. I can fill the narrow large in about 3 hours but I think when they're totally filled you're not getting the tension so I either move up to the XL or just leave the nipples touching but not he skin so I'm still getting a pull. Either way it's still more suction than with the smartbox.

Sorry, mine doesn't stretch the whole side it's about the same 3D size and shape as an almond and only on the right.

During my first post Brava monthly breast exam I found a hard almond-sized painless rubbery elongated lump under my left nipple which was only detectable when I did the self-check lying on my back with my arm behind my head. I had a mammogram, ultrasound and biopsy and was told it was a fibroadenoma. I asked if Brava caused it and was told no by my doctor. She said I probably always had it. Funny how I found it as soon as I stopped using Brava for 11 weeks. It probably doesn't hurt to have some time in between cycles to rest everything. I plan on another Brava cycle in December for about 4 - 5 months.
