Breast augmentation questions

Hi, I wanted to get some insight from women who have had breast augmentation or maybe some surgeons (I have seen some nice surgeons comment every now and then). I've been planning on a breast augmentation since I had my first child 5 years ago (I have 2 and dont plan on having anymore). I have some asymmetry I am trying to correct, but I have gotten several opinions from different surgeons. Left breast has more hang/sag to it, but nipple is in a relatively good place. Not facing downward. Most of my breast tissue is in the lower pole under the nipple though, so I have no upper pole and its deflated. Right side is just smaller and a little deflated, and doesnt need a lift in any way. I would say left side is 34B and right side is 34A. Its not a huge difference, but definitely noticeable without clothes and looking straight on, if that makes sense.

surgeon A- suggested full lift on both with implants (said its easier to get symmetry when you can adjust both breasts)

surgeon B- suggested unilateral lift (anchor) with implants. said a full lift on both is absolutely unnecessary and overkill.

surgeon C- first suggested full lift with implants (said the same- its easier to get symmetry when youre able to adjust both breasts-until I reconsulted with him, and I explained I wanted to avoid a lift because of the scars, so he changed the plan and said we can do implants under the muscle dual plane for a bit of a lift, without actually doing a lift, and if i decided later I wanted an actual lift, I could still do that, so i wouldnt be burning any bridges. Those were his words.

surgeon D- suggested unilateral lift and implants

My last consultation with a new surgeon is this upcoming Tuesday. My hope is that we can do a donut lift or crescent lift on the left if any lift at all is necessary. I really like a natural sag, I dont need super perky ones, just natural looking and not deflated.

Has anyone been told they needed a lift and didnt end up getting one, and been happy with the results?

Also, who is a good candidate for a donut lift? Online it says mild to moderate sagging, which I believe I have, but none of the surgeons I've seen have suggested a donut lift. Id prefer a donut lift, but I know it is all down to each persons anatomy.
