Is 284 grams too much removed for 32DDD/G breasts? (photos)

To cover my breast reduction, my insurance requires 284 grams to be removed. I’ve been to a consultation and pre-op appointment but my surgeon told me that she thinks the risks are too high and that it will end up pretty much being a mastectomy and that my nipples have a high chance of dying. Is either of that really true? I want some other opinions but I don't want to have the long wait for another consultation. I want to be a B or an A.
