Breast Reduction or Lift when Reducing Implants from DD Cups to C Cups?

When i was 17 I had breast implants which where far too big for my frame ( i went from a AA to a DD) 12yrs later I am now suffering with back pain and frankly feel like a barbie doll. I want to reduce these to a moderate C cup, but as i am still only 29 will i need to get an uplift aswell as new implants? if i dont will there be baggy excess skin? What are the price ranges if I want pear shaped implants and lift? Thanks S
