I'm 23 yrs old. With excessive weight gain my areola were stretched. Am I a Good Candidate for Areola Reduction? (photo)

I am sorry to hear about the concerns your areola size have caused. Based on the description of your goals and photographs, you will ultimately have to make a decision about what concerns you most: areola size or the presence of scars associated with areola reduction surgery.I would suggest that you seek consultation with well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons who can demonstrate significant experience achieving the types of outcomes you will be pleased with. Make sure you educate yourself about the potential downsides associated with areolar reduction surgery including the potential for spreading of the areola, abnormal scarring, areola asymmetry, and re-spreading of the areola.I hope this, and the attached link, helps.

Leave your breasts alone. They are pretty. Unless you reduce (even just a little) to reshape your whole breast, I think you will end up having a stretched out areola and a very noticeable scar. Be careful.

Based on your single photo you are a good candidate for areolar reduction if you are willing to accept a scar around the new sized areolae.

the technique involves selecting the size areolae you desire, resecting the unwanted areolar issue, placement of a internal permanent suture that will help maintain the desired areolar size. I often perform this procedure using just local numbing medicine in my office. The scar is usually quite acceptable.

I suggest you make several appointments with board certified plastic surgeons. Then proceed
