Mild Tuberous Breast correction. Getting Breast Aug, but do I really need an areolar reduction?

Anonymous1476786
My Dr suggested I might need a areolar reduction. He said I can get it later but why knock out 2 birds with 1 stone right? My issues are, I am afraid of having those type of scars & have read the scaring does stretch over time. Since I do have a mild form, do I really need the reduction?Can be fixed through just the fullness of the implant? & if I don't go through with the reduction will my areole spread and get bigger?I DO want to get rid of this issue, the question is- What approach do I take?
