Post menopause. Will HRT make my new breasts grow again? (Photo)

Scottish PersonMay 28, 2017

I am post menopausal, and struggle a little with symptoms, I've been thinking about bioidentical hormone therapy - namely estradiol patches and Uterogestan pessaries. I do not want to take oral HRT. Is there any chance this hormone therapy could increase my new breast size? Grateful thanks for any advice.
