Would it be possible to create heart shaped areolas?

Question

This is a pretty strange request but I am curious as to whether or not a surgeon would be able to/willing to essentially create heart shaped areolas. To further clarify, instead of only resizing, also shaping the areolas into a specific shape (like a heart.) I've often heard the alternative suggestion of tattoo but I find that in order to modify the shape as such it would drastically increase the size of the areola. Would this modification be possible? If so, would a surgeon be likely to agree?

I think this is a terrible idea. I wouldn't do it if asked and I think most surgeons feel the same. Better to get the tstoo. If you try to do it surgically you'll end up with a disaster

While in theory this may sound like a good idea, the reality could be not at all what your were hoping for.  For something specific like this I encourage you to look at other alternatives, such as the tattoo option versus surgical creation of the shape.
