3D AREOLA & NIPPLE TATTOO

Medical tattoo micro-pigmentation is a non-surgical procedure augmenting breast reconstruction by creating the illusion of a natural, three-dimensional areola and nipple. For women who have undergone mastectomies or may have irregular or fading areola's, this complex intra-dermal pigmentation and 3D nipple restoration, helps women to recover physically and emotionally from the scars of breast cancer. 

Depending upon unilateral or bilateral mastectomy, some women will only require one breast to be matched to natural areola and nipple. Some will require both breast to be treated.

NIPPLE ENHANCEMENT

In addition to 3D nipple & areola tattoo use of injectable dermal filler to restore the 3-dimensional contour of the nipple due to loss of nipple projection after reconstruction or nipple sparing surgery can also be performed. This is a simple & non-invasive procedure with immediate and adjustable volume results that positively impact patient satisfaction and well being.
