What is Areola Repigmentation?
Areola Repigmentation is a specialized area of medical cosmetic tattooing. The procedure helps improve the appearance and self-esteem of both women and men who have undergone breast surgery. These techniques can “create” an areola after breast reconstruction, minimize the appearance of scars, or restore an areola to a more natural-looking color and shape. Cosmetic tattooing techniques and color pigments are used to create the realistic and 3-dimensional appearance of an areola. This procedure can be for many different patients. Patients who have had breast reconstruction after a mastectomy or lumpectomy can use this treatment to match the newly reconstructed breast to the natural breast. Or create new ones on both sides.
