reexpand
Swell once more
To reexpand is to expand again after contraction or compression: The lung reexpanded after the fluid was drained.
The word appears most often in medical contexts describing tissue or organs returning to their normal size, but applies anywhere something expands a second time: The company reexpanded into European markets after retreating during the recession.
