Do I have tubular breasts or just puffy areolas? When I see pics of the condition it doesn’t quite look like mine. (photos)

Asked By:ann753 in Fore Store, Virginia

I feel like since I have smaller breasts, my big areolas look very unproportionate to my breasts, and I'm unhappy. They take up about like 70% of my breasts. A few months ago, I looked into areola reduction, and I'm seriously considering it. When my areolas get hard, that's how I want my breasts and nipples to really look. So, could I just get an areola reduction, or is it more complicated? I really don't want to get a full-on breast augmentation or any other extra work done than necessary.
