Breast lift vs reduction - What is the difference?

jules716
I've had 2 consult with different opinions. I'm currently 5'3, 150 lb and wear a 34 G. One Dr said that a lift would bring me to at most ..a C cup. The 2nd Dr said he could do a reduction ( lift is part of it) to a D cup. What is the difference between the two and why would just a lift bring me down so many cup sizes?
