Do I have tuberous breasts or large nipples? (Photo)

Courageous225272Apr 30, 2023
I am looking to get my herniated/puffy areolas fixed. I am happy with the size and shape of my breasts, just the areolas that are causing my insecurities. I find that the nipple itself is bigger then the average as well but the main concern is the areola. I’m not sure if I should consult a tuberous breast or a nipple reduction specialist. I do not want any sort of augmentation.
