Areola reconstruction

Areola dermopigmentation, also known as areola tattooing, recreates the colour and shape of the areola and nipple, or softens the scars around them.

Who it is for

• After a mastectomy and breast reconstruction, to rebuild one or both areolas.
• After a breast lift (mastopexy), on inverted "T" scars.
• After breast surgery (mammoplasty), on the scars around the areola.
• For an areola that is too pale (hypopigmentation) or small.

When

• With the go-ahead of the surgeon or oncologist.
• Once the scars have settled.

How

• A three-dimensional areola, with the nipple, is designed together with the client, choosing colour, size and position.
• The work is completed in one or more sessions.
• Resorbable pigments are usually used; permanent pigments only in rare cases.
