I have had nipple necrosis on one breast, while the other breast healed normally. But I do not want tattoo and I also do not want to have one breast with a nipple, while the other breast does not have a nipple. What I would love, would be two somewhat symmetrical round areolas, they can be small, but just symmetrical and the removal of the nipple on the other breast, whilst constructing an areola similar to the other breast. Is this possible?

The piercings would have to be removed for surgery. Once the nipples were repaired and healed, then the piercing could be reinserted. Unfortunately, due to the piercing, you are at higher risk of infection from the bacteria that lives in the tunnel.
Yes, the lower areola can be raised to better match the opposite areola, or the higher might be lowered some. Please go back to your surgeon and discuss your concerns. Your nipples looked fine.
Those bumps are enlarged Montgomery glands which many could be excised. The excision might interfere with potential breast feeding if you are able to become pregnant. Those bumps are benign.
