nipple reduction after healed nipple piercing (photos)

I had my right nipple pierced years ago - it has been healed up since I was 18 and my nipple is now shaped differently. (see photo) I would love to get this fixed when I get my breast augmentation (going to consults soon). How would you go about this and is it a pretty easy fix? Should most surgeons be able to perform this same time?

Sometimes, one or both nipples can be inverted. They are tethered by the breast ducts so they don't stick out. A photo would be useful. If it is an inverted nipple, it can be fixed by a simple in office procedure.
