The Process

The 3-D areola/nipple micropigmentation service is done to fill in the missing coloration of the areola due to the lack of skin pigment. The 3-D nipple is created using semi-permanent tattoo or permanent ink.

The micropigmentation specialist will walk you through every step of the procedure, including size, placement, choosing a pigment color, and aftercare. Since every case is unique, determining what will be needed to achieve the best outcome calls for a trained eye.

Numerous factors come into play, including scar patterns, skin thickness, scar tissue, placement, and past medical history. Your specialist will determine the best course of action to get the best results.

Both unilateral and bilateral 3-D nipple tattooing procedures are provided at our clinic. Either way, fantastic outcomes will be achieved with or without nipple reconstruction. Also, the specialist can achieve exceptional outcomes when working over nipples performed by a surgeon’s office.

Why is 3-D areola/nipple tattoo important after breast surgery?

There is no one-size-fits-all approach. Practicing on latex is also a must. It is important that your artist is familiar with selecting pigments and anesthetics (if applicable) that work best with your skin. A good artist has in-depth training in anatomy and physiology, pre-care and aftercare, and implements health and safety best practices.

Getting to work with breast cancer survivors is one of the most fulfilling aspects of being a paramedical tattoo artist. With the right color choice, artistic skill, and experience, we can simulate real areolas or nipples after mastectomy. As the skin's natural color returns, scars appear less noticeable. Even though a nipple created or grafted by a plastic surgeon has the most natural appearance, patients frequently decide against having further surgery. By incorporating highlights and shadows, the appearance of a protruding nipple can be created.

Before

Tattooing scar tissue presents several complications that both artists and clients should consider. Scar tissue can vary significantly in texture, thickness, and sensitivity compared to normal skin, which can affect the tattooing process and the final outcome. The altered skin may not hold ink as well, leading to uneven pigmentation or fading over time. Additionally, the pain threshold in scarred areas can be heightened, making the tattooing experience more uncomfortable for the client. There is also a risk of complications such as keloid formation, where the scar tissue grows excessively, potentially distorting the tattoo. Furthermore, the healing process may be more complex, requiring careful aftercare to prevent infection or other adverse reactions. Therefore, it is crucial for both the tattoo artist and the client to have a thorough discussion about these factors before proceeding with a tattoo on scar tissue.

A breast's aesthetic appearance is greatly influenced by the areola. A woman's self-esteem can be greatly impacted by the way her breasts appear, so losing an areola can have a catastrophic psychological impact. After a mastectomy, a woman can recover from breast cancer and get her body back with breast reconstruction. After breast surgery, 3D nipple areola tattooing offers the "final touch." Patients believe that getting tattoos helps them feel and look "whole" again in the latter stages of their recovery.

Skin color loss/de-pigmentation can occur from medical procedures, trauma from burns or accidents, congenital anomalies, or different types of skin diseases. Medical treatments and surgical procedures can correct or improve the appearance of many types of scars and skin abnormalities. However, some patients still need the skin color of the treated are to be re-applied, so it appears more normal.
