Can an "indented" nipple be fixed after a breast reduction? (Photo)

HHtoD
I had a breast reduction 6 months ago and went from a HH to a D. I love the way my right breast looks, but not my left. The areola is a different size and the nipple remains "indented" after the surgery. My right nipple looked similar right after the surgery but it "blossomed" and rounded out. The nipple also has no feeling, and there is a hard lump of scar tissue inside. . I'm aware that the feeling will not come back, but is there anything that can be done to "pop out" the nipple?
