Can I Go from a 34DD to 34C and Still Meet 500gram Insurance Requirement

I am a healthy 32 year old with a height of 4'10'' and a weight of 95lbs (I am very petite). I would like to have a breast reduction due to the stress on my small frame. Is it possible to reduce my breast size from a full 34DD to a 34C and meet the insurance requirement of 500grams per breast? Or would the 500gram requirement cause me to drop to a B?
