Estimated Bra Size After Removing 236 Grams During Breast Reduction?

JerseyGirl1
I am a 5 foot 2 inches, 125 pound female that underwent a breast reduction almost 3 wks. ago. I was a 32e bra size previously and wanted a full B/ small C cup size. I'm still swollen but I am very concerned that my PS did not remove enough tissue. Can someone please tell me their best guess for my new bra size if the PS removed 236 grams from each breast? I know that 236 grams equates to approximately a half pound which doesn't seem like much. I had a breast reduction because of my back pain.
