slightly O/T - Puffy areolas
April 23 2009 at 3:16 PM CousinRose (Login CousinRose)
Hey everyone.
The main reason I have been doing NBE is because my breasts were way too small for my areolas and my areolas are a bit puffy. I hate it! I was hoping bigger breasts would make the problem less visible and it has a little but they are still puffy! I think me breasts look perfect when my nipples are erect since my areolas contract with them but when they are not they are not so great at all. I never take my top off unless I know they are erect!
I would never undergo surgery but I was wondering if anyone knew a way to make areolas flatter naturally? (Since I obviously never reached that final stage of puberty.) Is it a result of any hormonal imbalance? Any suggestions on herbs I should try?
I tried google-ing but found only information for males and surgery options and old posts on this forum did not have any suggestions.

Don't worry too much about it. It's normal. I have puffy areolas myself! I would guess that the only way to improve their appearance is to grow bigger boobs. I'm still not even 33" yet, since I hit a stall--my own impatience put a wrench in my progress XD--plus AF just ended yesterday, so the swelling went with it. Hoping that once I hit the 'C' cup mark, they won't look so bad.

hey lady
i've been doing lots of research on PCOS and endometriosis. i have endometriosis and strongly believe i have PCOS. puffy areolas are a symptom of PCOS, have you been checked for that? do you have any other symptoms?
i totally understand. i have puffy areolas too. i wouldnt have such a problem with small breasts if they looked good!

I have never been checked for PCOS and I don't have the other symptoms. If the cause of PCOS is high androgens than androgens might be the cause of puffy areolas right? Maybe I am a little high in androgens (which explains why I was a A-cup in a family of C's and D's).
Thank you girls for replying
I might try the anti-androgen route and see if there is any change.

Puffy areolas is quite a common thing. If its a problem for you and nothing else works the option for surgery is always there.
