Will my Boobs Grow Back?

At 15, you have not yet attained your full adult dimensions.  Your breasts may still change.  Also, breast tissue changes with weight gain/loss, pregnancies, periods, etc.  No one can predict how they will look down the road.  You will just have to cross that bridge when you get to it.

First, congratulations on your weight loss.  It is very common for women to lose volume in their breasts with significant weight loss.  As far as breasts "growing back", you are still quite young and your breasts have not finally matured yet.  You may get more volume over time.  There are also things that will influence your breasts, (having babies, breast feeding, weight gain/loss).  Wait and see what happens.  If you have questions seek out a board certified plastic surgeon and ask him/her the questions that you have.

   At age 15, your breasts may grow to a larger size.  If you were to gain weight the additional fat tissue would replace some or all of the tissue you lost.  If you are unhappy in a few years, you may want to consider breast augmentation. 

It's great that you lost so much weight, and this will lead to a healthier overall situation for you- congratulations.  Breasts getting smaller after weight loss is a very common situation.  In older women, this is usually a new "reset" point after weight loss because they don't have fluctuations in hormone levels and growth spurts that you will expect at your young age.  It is very likely that your breasts will continue to grow over the next few years, and despite your recent weight loss, your breasts may very well "grow back" as you progress through your teens.  Be patient and I would definitely NOT recommend even considering breast augmentation surgery for a few years until you are certain your growth has stopped.

Breast size and shape change with time.  They won't "regrow" as you have stated in your question, but will certainly change over your lifetime.  Weight changes, pregnancy and breast feeding contribute to some of these changes.  If you are unhappy with these changes over time you can seek consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon after your 18th birthday.  Good Luck

Hello,

Thank you for the question and congratulations on your weight loss.  As you have experienced with your recent weight loss a large portion of most breasts is fat (adipose tissue).  If your weight remains stable the amount of fat in your breasts and therefore your breast size will remain the same.  The amount of breast gland may increase but this usually only occurs with the onset of puberty or with pregnancy.  I suspect that with your weight loss you have seen changes in the both the shape and size of your breasts.  You will have to decide whether you would like your breasts to be bigger or bigger and shaped better as your options are breast augmentation, breast lift, or the combination of breast augmentation and breast lift.

All the best,

Dr Remus Repta

Congratulations on  your weight loss. Only time will tell if your breasts will grow anymore. They  may since you are only 15.

Hi, and thank you for your question. Congratulations on your accomplishment. As you noticed, your breasts lost weight along with the rest of your body. That's normal. As there's fat tissue mixed with glandular breast tissue, whenever you lose or gain weight, those fat cells react accordingly. So you should keep a watch on your diet.

On the other hand, by losing weight on your breasts, you probably now have excess skin, which produced breast ptosis. When skin is stretched, it loses elasticity, therefore, when the tissue reduces, the skin won't contract itself. If that's your case, you'd probably need a mastopexy (breast lift) when you grow older.

As always, consider visiting a board certified plastic surgeon in order to get a personalized answer to your case.
