Can I have a breast reduction after having implants removed 7 years ago?

I had breast implants removed 7 years ago with a simultaneous lift (no complications with the implants or surgeries). Afterwards, I was a C cup but after years of hormone replacement therapy, I'm now a G cup. During a recent consultation with a board certified surgeon, he said I couldn't have a reduction because I had implants previously and they cause blood flow loss. This was before examining me. Is this blanket statement true? I thought each case varied with respect to blood flow.
