Breast Reduction of 50grams Make a Difference in a D Cup?

samee121
I just had my breast reduction last week and the PS said he removed 50grams from one breast and 100grams from the other. I am about 113lbs and was originally a 32D/DD. I asked for a small B. Visibly they look smaller even with the swelling, but are they actually smaller or are my eyes playing tricks on me? Does removing 50grams of breast tissue make any difference at all?
