Hello there, thanks for the query!
Well, unfortunately there s nothing much you can do about your breast size unless you plan to get treated by a cosmetic surgeon for breast reduction. The size of the breasts depends on how well they responded to sex steroids (estrogen and progesterone) at the time of puberty. It is very unlikely that your increased prolactin is the reason for it. Increased prolactin can be an incedental finding or it is detected when one starts producing milk when not pregnant or when it causes irregular and infrequent periods.
Taking medications for increased prolactin will help normalise it but it won't reduce breast size.
Hope this information is useful. Take care.
