Can breast tissue grow back after keyhole/gyno surgery?

schmutzcityusa
I had the procedure done about 2 months ago and I'm worried the surgeon left breast tissue in on the top of my chest as I can feel two big lumps. I'm wondering if breast tissue will grow back from these lumps (if they are leftover breast tissue) or do breasts not grow back after puberty? (I was born female & went through female puberty). Under what conditions can breast tissue grow back, or are there none? Very concerned.
