I don't like how large my areolas are. What are my options to reducing their size? How bad is the scarring? (Photo)

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. Are they recommended at my situation? How bad is the scarring? thank you very much
