Chemical Peel Help Dark Freckling After Areola Reduction?

I had areola reduction surgery a year ago and they seem to have returned to almost their origional size. I have dark freckling around the edge of the areola which makes them look even bigger (this was the case pre-surgery) My surgeon said that a further surgery was not viable as the nipple could die. Could a peel improve the texture and dark speckling or could a further reduction be possible? Micropigmentaion has also been sugested to ligten the dark pigmentationl. Any feedback would be much appreciated
