I have large areolas, as you can see in the pictures. I'm 23, never been pregnant and don't intend to in the next several years. I don't like the size of my aerolas (I don't find them attractive and have insecurity issues concerning them, especially in bathing suits), and I wanted to know my options concerning reducing the size of he aerolas/ other breast procedures.
