Breast Reduction of 500 Grams from D Cup Breasts?

5361
I recently had shoulder surgery for several different issues. The ortho surgeon and my PT both said in order for my shoulder to heal I need a Breast reduction.I am between a D cup and/or DD cup and a medium frame-5'7". My insurance approved the procedure with the inclusion that 500 grams per breast must be removed of actual breast tissue.What approximate size will that make my cup size. Will my breast be firm and rounded?
