Whats the difference between a breast reduction and a breast augmentation?



my breast are a 36D will my gp refer me for a reduction as I am not happy with them, I am a small framed person. dress size 12 but my tops have to be a 12-14. I have had two children and so you can imagine how well they look now! I am worried that he may say theyre are not big enough! I go to see him next week and I am so worried about this, i've been to see him once before and he said he would refer me but never did!

I think a breast augmentation is when you add more to your breasts. So you don't want to go for that if you want them to be smaller.

No doctor should tell you that your breasts need to be bigger. Unless they're complete quacks, that is. If he/she tells you that, then don't go with them. If you think they are too large, it is for you to decide and not the doctor.
reduction makes them smaller the other to make them bigger
reduction is to make smaller. augmentation is to make bigger. they're YOUR breasts, you tell him what you want done. if he won't (and there's no reason he shouldn't) find someone else.
Reduction is taking away-- augmentation is ADDING
reduction they take out tissue from the breast, an augmentation is implants. If your worried about the sagging and what not from having kids then a reduction is the best.
A reduction reduces the size....and augmentation will make them bigger.
Like everyone has said, a reduction reduces, and an augmentation is an implant of some sort to make the breast larger...

Also, you do not necessarily need a referral from your gp, you can usually do the research yourself. A reduction many times is considered reconstructive surgery, and can be covered in part or whole by your insurance! Hope this is helpful!
