36G --> If 500 Grams is Removed, What Size Will I Be? I Prefer to Be a 36D or 36DD (photo)

veronicac
Hello, I am on my 3rd appointment, currently with the Surgeon. I'm 34, 5'6, 185lbs. The insurance company requires that 500 grams must be removed. My bra size is a 36G, and there is also some asymmetry going on as well. I want to be busty, just not this "very heavy and painful" busty. My question: -What will 500 grams look like? Is it required to be a minimum of 500 per breast, or a total of 1000 grams? -Is it possible for me to go to a 36DD? That's my aesthetic goal. Thanks in advance.
