How Can You Tell if Your Breast is More Tissue Than Fat?

MissA713
I have asked about a breast reduction before. I've been dieting for some time now and at about 115 lbs. At 5' 0". I'm making my breast fit into a 34 DD with a sports bra over a regular one. But in all honesty I'm about a 30 DDD or even an E. I've been dieting and haven't lost weight or inches in that area at all. How can I tell if I have any fat left in that area or is it all tissue left?
