Computerized Bra Gets FDA Approval
Bra Pulls Out Tissue To Increase Breast Size
Updated: 11:29 a.m. EST December 28, 2001
CLEVELAND -- Women interested in increasing their breast size may finally have an alternative to pills, creams or surgery. None has been clinically proven -- until now.
The Food and Drug Administration gave its stamp of approval to a non-surgical system called the "Brava Bra."
The bra works with a vacuum system, pulling out the tissue to increase the breast size. Two hard plastic cups are linked by tubes to a computer pack, and are pulled together with a mesh sports bra.
But the user must have patience. A woman would have to wear the bra 10 consecutive hours a day for 10 consecutive days.
She also can track her progress on the Internet.
"It has a modem to the charger and this data goes back to a central office and then the lady can go on the computer and monitor her progress and see how she's doing," cosmetic surgeon Bruce White said.
The Brava Bra was designed for small-chested women. Its maker said the average increase is one-cup size.
The cost is $2,500. That's about half the cost of breast augmentation surgery.
