3D Areola Nipple Tattooing
I specialise in Areola Artistry, giving women the look of a nipple which is not there, i use the technique of illusional cosmetic tattooing.
Areola restoration is one of my specialties, requiring advanced training in areola reconstruction. It is an art form requiring an understanding of delicate placement, colour, skin texture and shape. I will work closely with each client to achieve their expectations and will work to the highest standards to create a 3-D natural look. Clients will leave happy with full after care advice.
This highly specialised paramedical tattoo treatment restores the colour, size and natural shape giving the appearance of having realistic areola and is designed for both women and men who have undergone invasive reconstructive breast surgery including:
- breast reconstruction
- unilateral or bilateral breast reconstruction
- implant augmentation
- mastectomies
- breast reduction
- uplift
It can also restore colour to:
- faded areola due to aging or illness
- camouflage outer rim scarring
- provide circular symmetry
After a mastectomy many women decide to have a reconstruction 6-12 months post surgery. This restorative process of the areola area helps enormously physically and mentally with the healing process. Surgeries vary from patient to patient, and every healed result is different.
Following reconstruction, patients are usually left with a blank canvas of delicate skin. Most surgeons recreate a nipple mound harvesting a graft from the patients own skin. After this has healed it is then coloured using a tattoo illusion 3D process of carefully drawing a realistic looking areola and nipple. The Areola is pigmented with the colour of the patients choice or with a unilateral area the color will match the existing one.
BREAST SURGERY SCARS
Using our MCA needling technique, once the area is fully healed, all scar tissue is relaxed, camouflaged and minimised, we can safely and effectively start to tattoo a new coloured 3 dimensional Areola Nipple.
The process itself takes approximately 1.5 hour per side plus an additional 30 minutes consultation (either before or on the day). We advise two treatments to complete the treatment, as colours will need strengthening and certain areas will probably need tweaking.
AREOLA RESTORATION
This treatment requires a careful and considerate approach, the skin is delicate and requires a soft touch and intricate workmanship. I specialize in giving the very best 3D Areola re pigmentation tattoos and provide the final solutions to a full breast recovery. It is the final step, in the long and difficult emotional journey, to relative normality leaving natural looking results. I can also lighten and flatten angry surgical scars using MCA skin needling methods of scar relaxation leaving much less noticeable scarring, if any. As well as looking aesthetically better, scar relaxation treatments, give a smoother area to work on for the delicate placement of the areola nipple pigment. I carefully match the patients own natural colour and create a 3 dimensional look.
As we grow older the natural colour to our areola and nipples fade. For cosmetics purposes some women want that youthful look restored, for cosmetic purposes, we can darken a naturally light areola colour. My aim is to create a natural look whilst taking time and great care to every clients needs and expectations in a relaxed and very private setting.
We care and am sensitive and sympathetic, advising what can be undertaken. A full consultation is given and colours, shape and placement are discussed and mutually agreed before proceeding.
