The Healing Benefits of 3D Areola Tattoos

After surviving breast cancer, your body may have gone through some drastic changes. Surgery can leave scars that rattle your confidence and cause you to become self- conscious about your new appearance. You

should not feel guilty about wanting to change how you look. Repairing the damage to your skin and restoring a more familiar appearance can be a crucial part of your path to recovery. Fortunately, developments in the fields of cosmetic surgery and medical tattooing have given survivors of breast cancer the option to take back their confidence. With 3D Areola Tattoos, often paired with a procedure known as scar camouflage, our specialists apply a mixture of artistry, delicate treatment, and specialist training to create a realistic, three-dimensional effect that helps restore the area’s natural appearance. How It Works By utilizing multiple colors, realistic-looking wrinkles, texture, lowlights, and highlights, the 3D Areola Tattoo Restoration and Pigmentation creates a realistic, aesthetically pleasing

appearance of a natural nipple and areola. While getting a tattoo is usually unpleasant, a 3D Areola Tattoo is a minimally invasive, nonsurgical procedure involving minimal discomfort. The first session is generally done in about 45–90 minutes, with the number and duration of additional sessions varying based on the severity of the treatment area. Recovery After you finish your sessions and the 3D Areola Tattoo is complete, you can expect a short recovery. The treated area generally heals within 7–10 days, although you can expect some subtle changes in the pigmentation of the affected area over the next 4–6 weeks. If you do opt for this procedure, we’ll provide specific post-care instructions. With proper post-care, you can expect the tattoo to last for up to 5–7 years.
