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.

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!

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 and augmentation are total opposites. Reduction REDUCES your size, while augmentation makes you larger.
If you complain about back, neck, and shoulder pain, grooves in your shoulders and rashes under your breasts, they will submit that to get your insurance to cover you.

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.
