I'm 18 years old and very insecure about my breasts. My areolas are big and 'puffy' Why are they puffy?

DaisyD100
When my nipples are hard I'm fine with my breasts but when they are not hard, my areolas become puffy! Is this puffiness something I can fix without surgery? Is there something wrong with me? could I be taking a medication? There is never any type of pain in my breasts. Thank you.
