Is breast reduction permanent?
Yes, breast reduction is most often permanent. Although the remaining fat cells will swell and enlarge if you overeat and gain weight, as will the tissue swell or take on fluid and store milk in the event of a pregnancy. Breast tissue will still swell and be tender to the touch when affected by natural or synthetic hormones. If you take hormone supplements it is quite possible to gain small amounts of breast tissue back. Although it may not look the same or be as much.
The exception is in virginal hyperplasia/hypertrophy when the estrogen levels are high and the development of the breast is ongoing.
