I’m 5’5, 112 lbs with very asymmetrical breasts. Does 400g removal seem appropriate? Or is that too much?

Insurance approved breast reduction a few months ago and surgery is coming up soon. At time of consult, PS recommended 400g be removed from right breast, 300g from left. Since that time, I’ve gone off birth control, and my breasts have gotten noticeably smaller. Now I’m worried the amount he recommended will be too much? (And consequently insurance won’t cover..!) any thoughts- does 300g/400g still seem appropriate?
