Breast Reduction - How Will It Be After?

I was a 36C/34D. I am 5'6 and I weigh 125pd. I asked for a breast reduction to minimize the pains I have been having on my neck/back but I did ask for a small breast reduction. I wanted to see a differences yet I still wanted some breasts after. Right now it is day 4 & I feel like my breasts are not that different. I know they are swollen but Im afraid that I went through all that trouble and my breasts will remain large? he said he took off 2pds from each breast. will they be smaller after?
