Removing 1000cc Breast Implants, Replace With 500cc, Then Lift; Can it Be Done in One Procedure? (photo)

septdec1997
I have 1000cc implants. I want to have them removed, with a breast lift and smaller implants (maybe 500cc). I did get a consult, and the Dr. wants me to remove the implants, and WAIT! Then have a lift, and again WAIT, and then put in the implants. I have never heard of a process in 2 or 3 steps before. I KNOW i would not be able to leave my house without breast. I'm sure i have NO breast tissue left with the size of implants i currently have. Any thought?
