I believe I have tubular or tuberous breasts. Any suggestions? (photos)

Lolitotty2
I am now 23 and my breast tissue/fat has herniated towards my areolas, and they have gotten bigger and bigger. I've gone online and noticed that a lot of tubular breast patients get the size and shape of their breasts corrected, but the areolas remain puffy and large. I'm 5'2 and weigh 180 lbs. I barely fill a 36b cup size, and I'm too big for an A cup. Also, can I consider becoming a candidate at a university for treatment?
