I gained 15-20lbs a year or so ago and my areolas got quite a bit larger and even more uneven than they were before. I’ve been wanting an areola reduction for quite some time. I was wondering if there is anything that can be done to fix my deformed left nipple at the same time. Both nipples have always been flat except for when stimulated/cold. I had both nipples pierced and it helped my right nipple but the left worked itself out and left my nipple very undefined, flat, and overall deformed.
