Large, Puffy Areolas, Inverted Nipples, but Small Breasts-- is There a Procedure to Help?

June 9, 2011
Asked By:collegegirl9 in new york, NY

My breasts are a size 34A, but my areolas are about 6.5cm in diameter (they pretty much take up the entire breast). My nipples are also inverted-- these problems make me extremely insecure and self conscious. Is there a procedure out there for me? I'm only 20 and have a somewhat limited budget as a college student, but intimacy has become a huge dilemma, and I don't want to spend the rest of my 20s in hiding!
