Can the sometimes poor shape from the Bellesoma breast reduction/lift technique be improved by more reduction?

Powerful168360
I have 36DDD breasts with severe ptosis and a deflated upper pole. The traditional anchor method turns me off with the vertical scar but also because it doesn't actually seem to lift anything, it just moves your nipple up and raises the bottom of the breast w/ the upper pole still deflated. The Bellesoma method lifts but the shape is often awkward (kind of "squished" flat against the body and square at the bottom from dog ears). Can this be avoided by going to a MUCH smaller cup size (B/C)?
