Led by Dr. Paul Vanek, MD, FACS, a double board-certified plastic surgeon and experienced breast specialist, our practice offers safe, scientifically backed methods for fuller, natural-looking breasts, without implants or major surgery.

What Is BRAVA Fat Transfer?

BRAVA Fat Transfer uses gentle external tissue expansion and your body’s own natural processes to gradually enhance breast size and shape.

The BRAVA® Breast Enhancement and Shaping System uses gentle suction to gradually expand the breast tissue. This sustained tension stimulates natural cell growth, improving both volume and elasticity. Once the tissue is prepared, Dr. Vanek performs a fat transfer using purified fat from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks to achieve a soft, natural enhancement.

This method is FDA-reviewed, clinically validated, and designed to provide lasting, natural results with minimal downtime.

Common Treatment Areas

While BRAVA focuses on breast enhancement, fat transfer can also benefit:

  • Breasts (size and shape improvement)
  • Upper chest contour
  • Areas with asymmetry or post-surgical irregularities
  • Reconstruction after breast surgery.

This technique allows for dual benefits, enhancing your breasts while contouring donor areas.

Who Is a Candidate for BRAVA Fat Transfer?

You may be an ideal candidate if you:

  • Want natural breast enhancement without implants
  • Have enough donor fat for transfer
  • Are in good overall health
  • Have realistic expectations for subtle, natural improvement
  • Are not pregnant or breastfeeding (and have completed lactation for at least 3–6 months)

During your consultation, Dr. Vanek will evaluate your anatomy, goals, and lifestyle to determine if BRAVA is the best option or if another approach would be more effective.

What to Expect at Your Consultation

Your private consultation is the first step toward your transformation. Dr. Vanek will:

  • Discuss your aesthetic goals and concerns
  • Evaluate your breast tissue and donor fat availability
  • Explain how the BRAVA system works
  • Outline the process of fat harvesting and transfer
  • Review safety information, expected results, and costs
  • Provide before-and-after examples of real patients

This comprehensive evaluation ensures your treatment is personalized, safe, and based on sound medical science.

BRAVA Fat Transfer Procedure & Recovery

The Procedure

The BRAVA system is worn externally before your fat transfer. The domes apply a gentle, sustained pull that stimulates tissue growth. Once sufficient expansion occurs, fat is harvested via liposuction from areas like the abdomen or thighs, purified, and then carefully injected into the breasts using microcannulas for smooth, even distribution.

Recovery

Recovery from fat transfer is typically short and well-tolerated.

  • Mild swelling or bruising in donor or breast areas is common.
  • Most patients resume normal activities within a few days.
  • Wearing the BRAVA system as directed supports optimal results.

Dr. Vanek provides detailed aftercare instructions and follow-up visits to monitor healing.

Results

Patients usually notice:

  • Fuller, softer, and lifted breasts
  • Improved symmetry and contour
  • Lasting results after the fat cells establish blood supply (usually within 2–3 months)

Most women gain ½ to 2 cup sizes, depending on usage consistency and individual response.

Cost of BRAVA Fat Transfer in Mentor, OH

The cost varies depending on the volume of fat transferred, number of treatment sessions, and duration of BRAVA system use. During your consultation, you’ll receive a personalized quote that includes all surgeon, anesthesia, and facility fees.

Transparent pricing and honest communication ensure you can make an informed decision with confidence.
