    Hi Shannonmummy. Thank you for your post.
    Without photographs, it's hard to advise specifically. If you are 16J to begin with, my immediate thoughts would be a breast reduction alone. Breast reductions performed well can achieve not only a functional improvement, but also be aesthetically pleasing. You certainly will not be able to achieve an "augmented" or "fake" look with a breast reduction alone, and there is often deficiency in the upper pole. Keep in mind that the result from an implant with a reduction/lift performed at the same time can often be less predictable than a lift/reduction alone, as you are introducing the extra factor of an implant, and where it eventually settles will somewhat influence the final shape of the breast and the position of the nipples. Sometimes, to achieve a more predictable result, we may choose to perform a reduction/lift first, followed by implants at a second stage.
    I hope this information is of help.
