1000g breast reduction from insurance? (Photo)

Calm110310
I previously had a consult done and the surgeon went through The insurance process (Aetna). It was denied due to their minimum requirements being 1000g removal for each breast. The surgeon was only willing to perform 750g each. Is it worth it to get a 2nd/3rd opinion to see if I can actually get 1000g removed? My breast tissue is quite dense. I'm not worried about having smaller breast at all. What could they potentially look like if I'm currently at 36H?
