There appears to be breast tissue behind the nipple, which would enlarge the areola size.

I'm no doctor but removing the gland tissue would decrease nipple size, but then might require lipo for contouring.

You appear to have puffy nipples and perhaps some additional excess surrounding tissues as well.

Whenever appropriate gyne surgery is performed, the nipple diameter will diminish spontaneously -- there is no need to surgically reduce the areolar diameter.  In fact, attempts to do so frequently lead to a spread areola with objectionable scarring.

Do your research carefully and find an expert in gyne surgery near to you -- or consider traveling if need be.

Good luck!

Doc,

Do you think I can accomplish the look of having my nipple reduced to be flush with my chest?

I know it would not be a true gyno surgery but at least I can wear tight shirts and not worry about my nipple popping out

What's ur thoughts?

You have puffy nipples.  If you had a reduction of just the nipple and not the areola, I don't think you would be pleased.

Also would the cost be the same as conventional gyno surgery

You are putting the cart before the horse.  You have to sit down with a surgeon and have an examination.  Then the surgeon will advise you of what he has found and make recommendations.  Your input as to what is important will be sought.  And usually a compromise solution will be reached.

Then you can discuss costs with your surgeon.
