Welcome. The BRAVA Breast
Enhancement and Shaping System web site provides you
information about a scientific breakthrough in breast-enlargement.
Scientifically Engineered and Tested
Brava, LLC, the developer of the BRAVA System, has scientifically
engineered and tested this nonsurgical system that offers gradual
and lasting breast tissue growth without surgery or the use of
medications. Based on the medical principle of tension-induced
tissue growth, the BRAVA System activates the production of new
breast tissue by your own body.
Resembling a high-tech sports bra, the BRAVA System comes
equipped with a microprocessor that regulates and records the
System's action and performance.
Meets All Federal Regulatory Requirements
This new and exciting technology meets all of the U.S. Food &
Drug Administration's (FDA) requirements and will be offered through
physicians in selected metropolitan areas early 2001. Initially, the
BRAVA System will be available on a limited basis, so Register
with Us now to be placed on our preferred customer list.
Patents
The BRAVA System has 10 U.S. patents associated with its design
and construction with corresponding foreign patents.

The BRAVA System
UNDERSTANDING THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE BRAVA SYSTEM
The BRAVA System is based on a scientifically proven principle
that all types of body tissue will grow and generate new, normal
tissue when gentle, sustained, uniform tension is applied. This
tension, or stretching, is good for skin cells, and is in fact the
mechanism involved in normal growth, regeneration, and normal
balance of human tissue. This principle when applied to all types of
tissues, including skin, bone, nerves, skeletal muscle, heart tissue
and smooth muscle, will grow and regenerate normal tissue.
Tissue growth can be achieved by using an implanted device or by
using an externally placed device. In the first process, breast
tissue is encouraged to grow by placing a medical device inside of
the breast area, such as the type used in post-mastectomy
reconstruction surgery. The placement of the device generates a
sustained "pushing" or tension, which causes tissue to
grow.
This same process also applies by using external forces. In this
process, sustained tension or "pulling" is applied to the
area by an externally placed medical device. The device gently and
gradually draws the tissue forward causing it to grow.
How? All living cells sense mechanical forces. Whenever tension
is applied, cells respond by multiplying which expands the tissue.
This expansion in volume relieves the tension and restores the cells
to their normal state. Within the BRAVA System, the cells in the
breast tissue are kept under constant tension, which motivates the
cells to continue to multiply and expand the breast volume. As long
as the cells are kept under constant tension they will continue to
multiply.
The BRAVA Breast Enhancement and Shaping System consists of two
plastic domes that fit comfortably over each breast. The domes are
attached to a small rechargeable SmartBox™, all held securely in
place with an attractive sports bra. The SmartBox is a small
computer that regulates the gentle pulling action of the system and
records your wear pattern. When activated, the SmartBox draws air
out of the domes and the breasts are gently drawn forward. The mild
pulling action inside each dome, which is actually less than the
pressure you experience inside a commercial airliner, gradually
causes the breast tissue to expand and grow.

HOW YOU USE THE BRAVA SYSTEM
For the best results, the BRAVAŽ Breast Enhancement
and Shaping System should be worn a minimum of 10 hours a day for
10-12 weeks. Most women have chosen to wear the system in the
evening while sleeping, although it can be worn during the day.
The BRAVA System is safe and effective due to its
patented design and the materials used in its construction. The
System has been engineered to conform to the physiology and
biomechanics of the breast. The pressure inside the System's domes
is evenly distributed, which avoids pressure points, making this a
painless and gentle process. In addition, all materials used are
hypoallergenic and biocompatible.
The BRAVAŽ Breast Enhancement and Shaping System
The BRAVAŽ System consists of two semi-rigid domes
with specially engineered silicone gel rims held in place by a
sports-bra over the breasts. It is powered by the SmartBox™,
a self-regulating microprocessor that creates and regulates the
vacuum pressure within the domes.
The SmartBox™ consists of a microprocessor,
sensor, miniature pump and rechargeable batteries. A small port at
the lower portion of each dome is used to connect them to the SmartBox™
using T-connector tubing. The SmartBox™ creates and
regulates the vacuum pressure within the domes, and records the
hours the user wears the system and the pressure exerted within the
domes, which together define the wear pattern.
The SmartBox™ is recharged daily on the
System's base unit, which is called a Cradle. The Cradle is also
used to transmit wear data via a built in modem to BRAVA's secure
database servers. The BRAVA System is sold as an integrated kit
containing the following components:
