38I - Is 980g enough for a reduction? What size will I be after the reduction? (Photo)

Asked By:Bright834458 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I have 38I breasts. My surgeon plans to remove 980g total. My procedure will be covered with insurance, as it's medically necessary. Does this seem like too little? Approximately what size might I be after getting 980g removed total? I'm excited to get them reduced and hopefully lifted, I just want an idea of what to expect and to mentally prepare myself. (won't be able to see surgeon until next week)
