Areola Restoration following Breast Reconstruction surgery

It is very common for patients to feel a sense of loss following breast cancer and mastectomy. This is because of the loss of shape and appearance that often happens following the procedure. In which case the structure of the breast is not the same as it was before the diagnosis. In order to achieve a more natural look to the restored breast, a procedure known as Subdermal pigmentation, which can also be called nipple or areola tattooing can be employed.

Following a breast reconstruction surgery, patients have the option of adding color to the area of the breast mound where nipple and areola once appeared. This helps to restore confidence and a more natural appearance.

Nipple and areola reconstruction and correction are both carried out as an outpatient surgery and general anesthesia is employed so as to reduce pain and improve comfort and safety.

The pigmentation procedure is carried out in the office and would normally take between two to three hours. Patients can choose to have nipple and areola construction with surgery and have the color added to the area three months after. For those who are not keen on surgery, they can opt for a 3D tattoo.
