When is Lipo Not Necessary with an Anchor BR?

I am scheduled for a BR in Aug., and my PS never mentioned using lipo, and at that time, I didn't know to ask. I won't meet with him again until the surgery. I'm 54, weigh 158, and I'm 5'6''. I'm currently a 38/40 G/H, and he said a full C or D will work well for me. My reason for the surgery is all the normal things associated with large breasts, but at the same time . . . I don't want it to look odd. Thank you for your time.
