Confused, Same Body Two Different Opinions?

I am 46 years old 5 feet 3 inches & 155lbs. My breast measure 23/24 & 19 between breast. I currently wear a 38C. I am looking to have a tummy tuck, lipo & a breast augmentation (about 400cc) My dilema is that 1st Dr. stated I did not need a lift & 2nd Dr. said I do. 2nd Dr. said I would be left with a B- cup size after the Breast Lift (lolypop incision.) I dont particularly want a lift as I am concerned about losing nipple sensation. Why such a difference? I've lost 40lbs with in the year.

Confused because of Different Opinions from Plastic Surgeons?

It is in the nature of plastic surgery that you will receive many different opinions as to the best way to proceed. In other words, if you visit 5 plastic surgeons you might come away with 5 different recommendations. Therefore, seeking additional consultations may be helpful to you; more so than online consultation ( where the consultants do not have the benefit of examining you and or communicating your goals). If, after the in person consultations with well... more

Confused

Can't help much without photos--please consider attaching some. Not everything is a black or white decision, and where the indications are near the borderline, you will find differering opinions. I may be missing something, but I don't quite understand how you can go from a C cup to a B cup after putting in 400 cc implants. A little more explanation is also needed. Best wishes.
