I am more or less happy with the size of my breasts but I am not fond of my puffy areolas. They look normal when cold, but when relaxed, they are super puffy. My breasts also look pointy at some angles. Is there any surgery available to correct and flatten my puffy areolas?

Answer: Puffy Areolas The good news is that you have very normal looking breasts. In some of the photos, I can see the puffiness of the areolas that you are talking about. This is a very minor degree of what we call a tuberous breast. Essentially the breast tissue is "stuck" under the areola and pushes it forward. The correction of this would be to tighten the skin around the areola and reduce it's size. This would leave a scar going around the areola but would flatten the area. The tough question will be whether the puffiness is significant enough to justify the procedure and the scar on the breast. Very worthwhile to discuss this with a plastic surgeon who has experience with managing the tuberous breast
