Breast Augmentation with Tissue Removal
I agree with your doctor based on the information you are giving. I remove breast tissue with almost all breast augmentation lift procedures. The lower pole of breast, the tissue and skin below the nipple, tends to be the worst tissue as far as support and quality in the breast. I often resect this tissue during an augmentation lift procedure because it is the tissue that will bottom out over time. Ask your surgeon what that means to bottom out. But, it sounds like you are getting good...

Breast lifts, implants, and removing breast tissue
It is not actually necessary to remove any breast tissue in a lift unless a particular technique requires it. There is a minor amount of fat and connective tissue removed along the inframammary crease but it is not a significant volume. Skin is removed in a lift but this also doesn't result in a significant volume difference.
It does not make sense to me to remove breast tissue and replace it with a synthetic implant in a cosmetic breast procedure unless it was to balance a larger...

Breast Lift and Augmentation
Usually a small amount of skin and subcutaneous tissue is removed with the breast lift. So, perhaps this is what your surgeon was referring to when you say that your "doctor wants to remove some breast tissue." If your breasts are "saggy" and "deflated" then it sounds like a lift and augmentation are the right things to do to improve your breasts.
Thanks for your question. Best of luck!

A full breast lift will remove only 20-40grams per breast. You do not need implants if you like your present size!
From your question and follow-up comment, it appears you have lots of ptosis (sag), but does your breast tissue actually "fill" a D-cup bra? Even with as much skin removal and tightening as it appears you need, the actual volume of tissue (skin only) removed with a full breast lift is just over an ounce per side. This pretty much leaves you the size you are now, but in a higher, tighter skin brassiere!
You may indeed want additional volume in the form of silicone implants, but...

Should I have breast tissue removed when I have a breast lift and implant placement?
You cenrtainly can have a lift and implant placement for improvment of your breast. You should clarify how much tissue is removed. The majority of this is a skin excision usually. It is important to consult with your Board Certified Plastic surgeon.

Lift, implants, removal of tissue
I see the question mark, but I am not sure what the question is. At any rate, it is not possible to give you a useful response without some photos to look at. Photos are very helpful, but of course not comparable to an actual exam.
If your current breast size is satisfactory, I would question removing significant amounts of tissue and then replacing that with an implant. If you wish to be larger, an implant makes perfect sense. Some tissue is always removed during a lift, but...
