disappearing breasts

Patient comes in complaining that her breasts have disappeared. Prior to her last delivery she was a 'c' cup. 6 months after breast feeding she is a 'b' cup. One year later she comes to see me because she cannot even fill an 'a' cup. Physical exam notes minimal breast tissue. Lab w/u is totally normal (metabolic panel, FSH, LH, Progesterone, Prolactin, E2, DHEA-S). Testosterone is < 20 ng/dl. MRI of brain is pending to rule out central tumors (overkill since there is no elevation of Prolactin.) Not sure where to go, but I've never seen this before. I mean there is MINIMAL breast tissue, similar to pre-puberty.

Any suggestions? (I know this is Houston, but she is a military wife and Tricare does not offer augmentation surgery.)
