Tubular breast deformity and puffy areolas. Is there a non surgical way to treat this? (Photo)

Question

I'm 19 and i recently underwent a breast fat transfer to correct my TBD. My surgeon did a great job in terms of giving me more fat to my lower pole and making my breast shape more round. However, my aerolas are still quite puffy, I do not know if this is a normal variation or if this is due to herniation from my TBD. I dislike the appearance, is there a non-surgical way to address this? Or what are my surgical options, want to avoid more scars.

Correcting nipple herniation through surgery is the quickest and most reliable way to get good results.  This is a relatively simple procedure that may be able to be performed under local anesthesia in some cases.  Speak to a board certified plastic surgeon to learn more.

Try KyBella injections first at least 2 sessions. If no results then directed pickle fork liposuction under local anesthesia. If still to puffy than only directed excision of sub areolar tissue can resolve the puffyness.
