After the death of her husband Henry three years ago she set about transforming herself from a regular, if somewhat undistinguished, mature lady into someone who attracts attention everywhere she goes.

Tattooing Nipples on Breast Cancer Survivors.

After a mastectomy, women want nothing more than to regain their identity and self-image. Following reconstruction, let our Areola MicroPigmentation permanent tattoo makeup restore the hue, shape, and texture to your areola. It’s one of the great last steps to restoring what was once a lost part of yourself.

After a mastectomy, women frequently have breast reconstruction or Areola MicroPigmentation. Breast reconstruction alleviates the deformity of the breast and constructs breasts that meet the patient’s expectations aesthetically and psychologically.

Areola MicroPigmentation enhances the hue and provides a natural appearance for the breast that has undergone reconstruction. The appearance of natural looking nipples and areola is achieved by skillfully blending pigments to enhance or recreate your skin's natural colors.

Areola Micro Pigmentation Procedure - Many women opt for Breast Restoration after mastectomy and as part of this process choose to have the nipple and areola created to complete the breast restoration process. Our permanent Areola MicroPigmentation techniques involve implanting custom color pigment into the dermal layer of the skin as a way to restore the natural beauty of your breasts. Areola Micro Pigmentation provides color and definition - essentially a tattooing of the area - in order to simulate a nipple and areola.

This process improves the appearance of post-surgical scarring around the circumference of the areola, due to Nipple Restoration or breast uplift surgery. Prior to the Micro pigmentation procedure a consultation will determine the most pleasing color, position, form and size for the nipple and the areola.

If only one breast has been reconstructed - pigments are custom blended, to create the most natural looking result to match the existing nipple and areola.

For men and women who have areolas that are too small, asymmetrical, and too pale or without definition, cosmetic tattooing can achieve a balanced shape, even coloring and clarity. Permanent cosmetic tattooing is a simple, non-surgical procedure that when performed properly, is safe and effective. It’s an excellent way to enhance your natural appearance and possibly eliminate the need for traditional makeup.

Areola MicroPigementation is a permanent cosmetic technique great not only for cancer survivors, but for men and women longing to enlarge the areola or define and smooth the nipple.

Areola MicroPigmentation Process - Topical anesthetics are applied prior to the medical tattooing process to reduce the pricking sensation. However, in many of the cases full sensation may not have been restored following the reconstructive surgery and hence the patient feels very little. The nipple and areola are created initially on the breast mound using a surgical marker, and only when the patient indicates that she is content with the position and form will the medical tattooing procedure begin. The pigment infusion process normally takes 60 to 90 minutes and does not require admission to a hospital.

Areola MicroPigmentation Post Procedure care is simple. A patient will need to apply an antiseptic cream twice a day and keep the nipple and areola covered with sterile gauze for two days. A follow up procedure is normally required after four to six weeks, in order to allow final adjustments to be made to the shape and color of the nipple and areola.
