Until a few years ago, most breast cancer survivors opted for nipple grafts, the protrusion of the nipple made them feel complete and feminine. However, women were disappointed when the nipple grafts flattened or did not have enough definition.
3D Areola Complex Tattooing, sometimes called “nipple tattooing” was introduced and has become a popular choice that can help a breast cancer survivor feel more comfortable with her new breasts. Some women find they are content without having a nipple at all, while others choose a form of reconstruction that does not require surgery. Areola complex tattooing is the final step to the breast reconstruction process.
Areola complex tattooing is relatively simple, has a high degree of satisfaction, adds no new scars, and can be repeated if necessary. Areola complex tattooing is completed no sooner than three months after nipple reconstruction to allow the latest incisions to heal well.
Advanced micropigmentation techniques involve shadowing, highlighting, feathering, and contouring. Color selection and blending is vital for a natural looking result.
