What is the best incision method to correct tuberous breast deformities? (photos)

lilyfrog
I am 20 years old and looking to correct my moderate tuberous breasts. So far, the advice I have gotten from doctors and the internet point to doing a gummy bear implant under the muscle, but I'm unsure if I should go with a periareolar incision or an incision under the breast fold. I don't see how an incision under the fold would do anything to correct the puffiness of my areolas, which is something I am looking for. Thoughts?
