Am I a candidate for a lollipop/short-scar breast reduction? (Photos)

newself19
I am 21 and am 5'6" and weigh 140 lbs. Ideally, I would get a lollipop reduction since there is significantly reduced scarring, easier recovery, and longer lasting results. The doctor I consulted with wants to use the anchor method; however, I am conflicted because I have come across another doctor online who solely uses the lollipop method on all patients including those around my size. The bra I wear is a 30 H but the doctor measured me at a 32 F. I would like to go down to a full C or small D.
