Breast Reduction 34H to 34C, question about amount of weight removed. Any suggestions?

CM1616
I went for a consultation for a breast reduction. My current size is a 34H, I am 5'9 and weigh 160 lbs. My surgeon said he could only remove around 380 to 400g per side. I would like to be a 34C. I know my insurance requires 500. This seems like a small amount of weight for the drastic size reduction I am hoping for, I am worried that insurance will deny this claim. Should I seek a second opinion?
