How should I fix my different sized nipples? (Photo)

Asked By:Want Same Size Areola in Austin, TX

Hi. I recently posted a question about lifting my left breast and reducing the areola size but after receiving some wonderful answers (thank you!!!) I think I may just want to reduce the nipple circumference and avoid a lift. My questions: is my left areola a good candidate to be reduced in circumference to match the right? Can the scar be made inside the diameter of the nipple so it can keep a "soft" edge that it has now? Can this be done under local anesthetic? Thank you so much!
