A member asked:

Is there anything that can be done to regain breast tissue after atrophy caused by cessation of lactation?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Breast tissue: I feel for you! My 42 year old daughter has breast cancer and metastases. She will recover. You don't have cancer as I gather but you can certainly regain breast tissue of some sort. Please see your Gynecologist.
