Does removing 450-500 grams from each breast sound correct if I'm 5'7" and 160 pounds? (photo)

I have scheduled a breast reduction but I'm nervous about what my surgeon said. Im 47, 5'7" & 160lbs & wear a 34 G bra.He said my breasts were roughly 1000 grams each and he would remove about 450/500 from each. Does this sound right? I'd just like normal, every day Jennifer Aniston type breasts (nice but unobtrusive). but he said that as Im so big, frame-wise, a C cup wouldnt suit me & Id be better off with a D/DD. he also said he'd use a lolipop cut - I thought this was for small breasts only.
