3D Areola Restoration & Breast Scar Camouflage
Medical tattooing allows the same technology and similar techniques used in permanent makeup to re-create the appearance of the natural breast areola.
When the reconstructive surgical process is complete, there is a breast mound, often with a surgically created nipple, but there is no color as is found in a natural breast areola/nipple complex. Using the patient’s skin tones as a guide for color selection and careful measurements to ensure the correct size and symmetry of the areolas, artistry in shading and highlighting creates an amazingly realistic areola. 3-Dimensional shading can actually create the illusion of a protruding nipple, thus alleviating the necessity of additional surgery to create the nipple bud.
A unilateral mastectomy means one breast has been reconstructed and the opposing breast may have an intact areola nipple. We match the 3D tattooed areola to the natural color. In some cases, nipple-sparing surgery has left all or part of the natural nipple and areola yet with asymmetry and visible scarring. We can custom blend colors to add to the existing area to perfect the shape and hide scarring.
It is my passion and privilege to work with my breast cancer patients.
"As a woman, I have absolute compassion for their incredibly painful process of enduring the diagnosis and treatment of breast or any other form of cancer. Thankfully there are so many good treatment options and early detection methods today. Statistically, it is most common now to beat the cancer and live a long and healthy life. My contribution to the restorative process allows women to put that segment of their life behind them, feel restored and beautiful in a way they could not have imagined at the beginning of their treatment and reconstruction."
