How Likely is It for Breasts to Grow Back After a Reduction?

samee121
Hello! I am 21 years old about 115 lbs and healthy. I just had my breast reduction done in May and went from a 32 DD to about a 32 C/B. I am wondering what the chances are that my breasts will grow back. Does it depend on age and diet? Is there something I can do besides maintain a healthy diet and exercise to ensure my breasts will not grow back?
