Image file size can be a bit misleading in terms of image quality. With compressed file encoding (jpg and compressed tiffs) the file size is representative of the amount of 'information' in a picture (smooth flat areas having less information than detailed areas). When you remove spots blemishes etc, you are also removing information, hence file sizes are typically smaller when saving from PP. The acid test is what the actual file looks like. If a file looks good, then I hope that's the important thing rather than the file size!

If you want to be totally sure that you are not loosing anything save as a lossless tiff.
