breast augmentation and reduction

Is it possible to get a breast reduction to change the shape and an augmentation at the same time?

Hopefully, the size and shape of your breasts will be corrected by the reduction/lift, and no implant will be necessary.

Yes, it's is possible, and it is done with regularity. Implants tend to idealize the breast shape, specifically in the upper pole, where it tends to deflate after the healing process from a breast reduction.

that is a contradiction reduce to later augment

if you have enough tissue you don't need implants
