Is it possible to go up a size with 19% body fat?

Asked By:peachesloveberries in Kansas

Hi I was a C cup before my breastfeeding journey. Now I measure a small B. The top profile of the breasts look sunken while the bottom looks fine. I am 43kg with 19% body fat. Couple of surgeons deemed that I do not have sufficient fat to refill the sunken part of the breast? They did mention the elasticity of the breast looks good. Is it possible to get back up a size given the 19% body fat ? How is the success rate ?
