In general, once your prolactin levels have come down to normal, then your breasts will no longer continue to be stimulated to grow.  However, the tissue that did grow will remain -- it will not spontaneously reduce once the inciting problem (the high prolactin hormone) has been eliminated.

Sorry about that -- you will probably need surgery to remove the excess tissue.

Usually 6-10 grand. If you do a lot of research you can find a good gyne doc around 7 grand. The ones I found cheaper had less than desirable results. I believe I payed 7800 and am very happy.

Remember, just because you're lean doesn't mean the doctor, room, anesthesiologist etc is going to be much cheaper if at all.

Usually up front. You can also apply for financing. Some of the plastic surgeons have links on their websites for financing.
