My insurance (Aetna) just approved me for a reduction. The surgeon wants to take 1393g from each breast. Is this rational?

I am 26 yo 5"7 and weigh 250lbs. I currently wear a 38I and the surgeon put on the approval letter to take 1393g from each breast. My breast are very large but he says that this will make me a B cup. I don't want to look like a boy by the chest.Should I go somewhere else? Would that affect my approval?
