Will swollen breasts from menstruation effect my breast reduction in 1 breast, as mastopexy to both?

agreengirl
I am getting surgery at the end of the month to fix asymmetry. The plan is to reduce the size of 1 of my breasts to match the other + lift to both breasts. At time of surgery Both my breasts will be swollen due to pre menstruation.They are much bigger during this time. Will it cause the doctor to reduce my breast to the size of the other swollen breast? I'm afraid it will affect my results and they will look uneven when the swelling reduces after menstruation. They do change drastically in size.
