The BRAVA Breast Augmentation & Rejuvenation via Fat Graft technique was founded by Dr Roger Khouri.

The BRAVA is a soft gel-like bra device, which expands the breast tissue matrix allowing for greater cup size increases for those wanting larger breasts when availing of the Breast Augmentation via Fat Graft procedure. In preparation for the breast augmentation/rejuvenation procedure, the patient wears the BRAVA device to sleep for a few weeks, depending on the desired increase in cup size, prior to the surgery. The BRAVA device works by placing a gentle amount of tension, a three-dimensional pull, on the breasts. This results in an expansion of the tissues to create a larger fertile matrix for the injected fat to survive. The fat is harvested from stubborn pockets of fat usually found around the abdomen or thigh areas thereby giving you the added benefit and opportunity to reshape these ‘problem’ areas of your body that have been highly resistant to diet and exercise. It is then injected into the breast site in which the tissue has been enlarged by the BRAVA expansion.

The difference between EMPIRE’s BRAVA Breast Augmentation & Rejuvenation via Fat Graft and the Breast Rejuvenation & Lifting via Fat Graft is the use of the BRAVA device. Our surgeon usually recommends the use of the BRAVA device to patients seeking a three or more cup-size increase.

For patients who have undergone a mastectomy, the use of a BRAVA device is mandatory. It is an invaluable tool when it comes to reconstructing the breasts with fat.

This treatment is fast gaining prominence in Manila, as it is the non-surgical approach available that produces amazing results. The main critiques of traditional breast implants is that it leaves a nasty scar, the resulting shape in itself is a glaring tell that work has been done and not to mention the complications that arise from a leaking implant etc. It is for these reasons that the use of fat for breast augmentation and reconstruction is so revolutionary.

EMPIRE Centre for Regenerative Medicine is the only facility in the Philippines that offers the use of the BRAVA device before undergoing a breast augmentation procedure.

The benefits are numerous and apparent:

• Bigger, fuller breasts using your own fat – the most natural alternative available to silicone implants
• No cuts or incisions
• Two procedures in one, problem areas of the body are slimmed and the breasts are enhanced in just one session
• No foreign bodies, i.e silicone breast implants
• Non-invasive surgery, no general anesthetic, no lengthy downtime
• Soft, natural-looking and permanent results

The results are apparent straight away, but will continue to improve, as the implanted fat becomes a part of your breasts over the months following the procedure.
