What breast size to expect after 500g removal? (photos)

wolpertinger2020
I am 5'4" and weigh around 185 lbs. According to the Schnurr formula, I would have to have 500g from each breast removed for insurance consideration. My cup size varies from DD to G, depending on the bra manufacturer. I lift weights and have a fair amount of pec muscle. What can I expect after 500g removal? I am aiming for what I think is a full B or small C cup (see "Goal Size" pic).
