Implant removal and fat transfer done separately? Why?

KAMSeattle
I recently reached out to the doctor, who did my original breast augmentation and lift because I am ready to have my implants removed. I requested an implant removal with a fat transfer, he’s recommending that I do an implant removal with a lift first, and if I’m happy with that then no fat transfer but if I am not then he’s wantin to do a second surgery that would be a fat transfer. Why 2 surgeries, when I see folks on here get it don’t all at once.
