Breast Lift Options After 2 Surgeries?

Mom of two in VA
After nursing 2 kids, my breast were very low. 5 years ago I had 350cc implants put in. They are too big for my 5'3" 120lb frame. I went to another plastic surgeon and asked him if he could take out the implants, put in smaller ones and do a lift to make me a C cup. He said he could. He did not measure me and picked out 240cc saline implants. He did the surgery with a small moon shape lift on the upper half of my aereolas. They are the same size. Now he is saying he can't cut around them. update: He is saying that he can not do the cut because of blood supply to the nipple-- that the nipple will turn black and die. I want him to take out these current implants and replace them with the smallest possible (120cc) and do the lollipop lift he told me he was going to do originally. My second surgery is scheduled for TODAY at 1pm Eastern. Should I postpone the surgery and seek another opinion? He say he is double board certified plastic/reconstructive surgeon. I canceled my appt. Can I get my money back? I can't afford a revision w/out a refund.
