3D Areola Restoration Tattoo
3D Areola Tattooing
Lacey is proud to be offering 3D Areola tattooing to help Breast Cancer Survivors feel whole and back themselves again!
Areola tattooing, also known as 3D areola restoration tattoo, is a cosmetic procedure that creates a “picture” of an areola and nipple on the breast. The tattoo will look 3-dimensional but it is flat to the touch. If a woman chooses to have areola tattooing, it is the final step of breast reconstruction after a mastectomy if the nipple was removed as part of the surgery. Generally you must wait 6 + months after surgery but always check with your doctor first.
It involves 3D areola restoration tattoo, which is tattooing a nipple on the skin that may have details that make it look more realistic than a nipple reconstruction might. It may also be able to cover scars from the breast reconstruction surgery. Areola tattooing is a less invasive alternative to nipple reconstruction surgery. It can also be used to add color to nipples after nipple reconstruction surgery if you have chosen that.
