Probably, your body has a memory. I went off HRT after 14 years and went back on T for two years. Let's just chalk it up to a mental glitch! Anyway, I went back on HRT and although the breasts hadn't gone totally flat they came back with a vengeance. I did have good pectorals before breasts, but there is a clear difference between both.

never heard of anyone losing breast tissue when they stop hrt.  Never seen it happen. You don't lose breast tissue..that's a permanent effect of hrt.

I think they could get a little deflated like an elderly post menopausal women's breasts sans hormones if they had been fully developed, but if they were just buds and never went beyond that stage, then it is conceivable that they regressed back to the former state.

Both times in a far distant past I was on low dose HRT I had gained breast tissue over and above what I naturally had. I cannot say that lost much at all, if any, over 30 years of running normal.

I am far from athletic, prone to gaining weight from just smelling food, and had a natural tendacy to being a bit bouncy up top since childhood. BTW I've basiclly been 6ft tall and 160 lbs average all those years. Earlier in life I hit a max of 250.

I suspect with all things breast and HRT related YMMV.

Joanne, one would hardly believe that you were ever a chunkster! Just smelled a delicious meat loaf and probably gained five pounds, you're not alone!
