Can you give me suggestions for anorexia recovery, will my boobs ever grow back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anorexia/breast size: With increased weight, breast tissue grows secondary to fat deposits in breasts. This stretches the skin, so when weight loss follows, the breast become somewhat flaccid, and never regain their former shape or size.
