Why are my areolas so large? (Photo)

vickc08
So I have noticed throughout these past few years how big my areolas really are.. they are about 2 1/2 inches in diameter. They make me very insecure.. I think they look unproportioned and saggy and my left boob is bigger than my right. I also have gained alot of weight in the past 5 years.. about 45 people pounds. I don't know if that is the reason or if it's because of genetics.. are my boobs even normal?? Am I a candidate for an areola reduction and breast lift? I am eighteen by the way.
