You need tubular breast correction.

Hi. Large areolas and tubular breasts are part of the same problem, and they are corrected with a modified "doughnut" breast lift. This is often done together with implants, but not necessarily. If in addition, your nipples are too large, they can be reduced at the same time. see video

Tubular breasts: There is a solution!

Tuberous breast repairs are commonly scar ridden flat and unnatural looking. The good news is that I have developed a specific technique to create natural appearing breasts with hidden scars for this type of breast shape. The procedure involves a special subfascial placement of silicone implants and a special nipple lift and areolar reduction with a hidden scar. The results are very natural appearing.

Tuberous Breasts Correction

Yes, tuberous (constricted) breasts can be treated in one stage safely. Tuberous breasts have a very narrow base, short distance from areola to inframammary fold, tight (constricted) lower pole of the breasts, relatively wide space between the breasts, "puffy" and areola and some degree of ptosis (drooping).

Tuberous breasts

Your description sounds like the tuberous breast deformity where the skin of the lower half of the breast remains attached to the chest wall & does not grow with the remainder of the breast during puberty. The result is a breast with less tissue below the nipple than above it & a high infra-breast skin crease. The developing tissue in some cases may be forced into or herniate into the darker tissue surrounding the breast nipple (areola) &/or may be constricted at its base.... more

Tuberous breasts?

Treating tuberous breasts can reduce the areola and puffiness, fix the constriction, and increase the width of the tight base.

In severe cases the breast is conical in shape and is sometimes described by the patient as looking like a 'torpedo' or a 'Snoopy dog'. Regardless of the degree of... more
