At 5 feet tall and 200 lbs, you should loose weight before undergoing a breast reduction. It would be safer with a lower BMI.

Best size after breast reduction

The "right" breast size after breast reduction surgery is hard to define. Enough breast tissue needs to be removed to allow for an improvement in breast symptoms but not so much that the breast does not have a good blood supple and retain a feminine appearance. Starting from a 44H, it will be hard to make your breast a D cup or smaller. Since you are 200lbs and 5 ft tall, it is unlikely that you will look "too small"after surgery.
