Is there a procedure to create more symmetrical nipples? I have one nipple I love. The other, I hate (Photo)

GiGiFrayenAug 19, 2015
I like my right nipple and would like to have my left nipple match it. What is the cost of a procedure like this? My left is puffy, the skin on the areola is larger and has more bumps (right has 0). The left nipple when cold or excited shrivels rather than erects (ew). I am not worried about loss of sensation as my left nipple already does not have much. I prefer my right nipple for its size, tight skin, color, less puffy-ness, lack of bumps and overall appearance.
