I cannot tell you anything about keeping the results, since I am still doing brava, but getting bigger in the first place, seems to work for me. Although am very thin, started as an AA- the worse category-still at the end of the 7th month I will have gained 3'' (now close to 7months mark). As far as nipples are concerned, there is indeed a reason to worry, they are stretched out, have few wrinkles when the swelling subside. At the moment I hope my breasts will get bigger and the wrinkles will more or less disappear or get less noticable, as they do with swelling, but if I loose a lot after I finish, they would stay wrinkled. And my nipples were flat and now they protrude, which is not bad, but if they already protrude, they will be stretched out even more and will most probably get bigger. IN my case its only the nipples that got streched out, the rest of the skin isn't saggy at all, I think the skin on the nipples is thinner and they are pulled out at most. If you use only the smartbox, the pressure won't be that high and you will not have problems with too much stretching, but that way you don't get much swelling either, which is bad for growth, so you add more pressure, get more swelling, but than you start getting other problems.
3'' sounds a lot, but it made me only an A, I am still very small. But after reaching a full A, the difference between sizes is supposed to be only an inch, so we'll see about that, at the moment I find it a bit hard to believe. I plan to do brava for quite a few months more, depending on how the progress is going on, but most probably till july. So, there are definitely bad sides and they don't develop for everyone in the same way, some didn't have any bigger problems, did not get permanent marks or stretched skin or nipples, some kept their growth, but all that can happen. Anyway I wasn't satisfied with my flat chest either and if I end up with the chest I want, I think I can live with some minor flaws-but minor..And in order to get bigger results,unless you start with at least a full B you will need at least 20-30 weeks to get anything noticeable at all. And since I am so greedy, I plan to do a year (I know its more than crazy, but if it would mean going from an AA to C, than again it sounds less insane). I will see how the things will develop for me, I will try to get another 3'', actually I expect it to become easier with more tissue, but maybe I will stall at some point. I don't know, I am just doing it now and as long as am seeing progress it makes sense to continue going.
