Do I have tuberous breast? Or are they just constricted? Or puffy Areolas? (Photos)

Asked By:serena_12 in Australia, AU

Hi, I hate the look of my areola/nipple (the mound like shape) when they are not erect. Are my breast tuberous? Do I need an areola reduction or could breast augmentation help improve the look without a reduction. Would it be pointless getting a procedure done before having children? Any advice would be appreciated. I am so self conscious and get really down about how I look without a top on. The last photo shows my breast erect.
