    hi damazon. I'm not sure if you are familiar with fatgraftpatients.com but that website has so much info and women who can answer your questions. Many are using brava or have in the past. Some are just researching this method of reconstruction. I did not use Brava but I found the site very informative. Hope this helps a little bit. Hang in there. Best to you.

    damazon, you wear the Brava only at night, or at home. So during the day, if you go to work or outside, you can wear whatever you wear now. Whether you can start exercising 2 weeks out depends on the stage of your surgery, probably. I remember having drains on one or two of the surgeries but not the others. I started cycling again 3 weeks after lipo on at least one of the surgeries, some of the others, 4 or 5.

    dmarie, it depends on the person, but I only took a couple days off work. If you schedule surgery on a Thursday, say, you could potentially go back Tuesday or Wed the next week.
