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

SHewett
Hi there I am 23 years old, I have never liked the look of my breasts. With excessive weight gain after puberty my areolas were stretched. After some weight loss the areola size seemed to be accentuated with the smaller breast size. I am looking into having areola reduction. I do not want the excessive scarring that comes with a breast lift (like that of an anchor breast lift). Would an areola reduction help give my breast that little bit more of youthful appearance that I desire? Thanks
