Were these trees cut back too much?

Just yesterday, I had an arborist come in and trim and shape my Japanese Maple and River Birch it looks like he cut way too much. Looking for advice and insight. Will they grow back and look normal? Or is there a chance that they will die. I am in southeast Michigan after and before pictures. Thank you in advance.

I don't have any issues with the work, most of the lower branches would have started to die off anyway due to lack of sunlight, the crowns have been lifted, the trees will now concentrate on higher growth and I'm sure will thrive 👍
