Want Implants but I have Inverted Nipples and the Areolas are Asymmetrical in Size, Options?

I was noticed I have an inverted nipple on my right breast. What is the best method to correct? I'm planning to get my breast done 350 silicone. I'm 5'e and 109-110 pounds. Also my left breast is bigger and the areola is twice the size compared to the left due to the right inverted nipple. What would be the best method to correct all three issues, brest size, inverted nipple, and areola size??
