Restorative Tattoos

3D Areola & Nipple Tattoo

What is it?

A nipple and areola tattoo is a permanent tattoo of a nipple and areola on your breast. The tattoo will help recreate your nipple and areola. A nipple and areola tattoo can be done after breast and nipple reconstruction surgery to treat breast cancer. It can also be done after a preventive mastectomy.

You’ll need to wait at least 3 months after your final breast reconstruction procedure to get your tattoo.

Pre- Appointment

Aftercare

The same way you would treat any tattoo. :) Wash with a gentle cleanser or antibacterial soap 1-2x a day. There will be some redness in the treated area and potentially swelling, but usually only lasts 24 hours. Avoid direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time and tanning until the area is healed. Avoid swimming, hot tubs, saunas, or heavy sweating for 7 days post treatment. Avoid chemical peels/treatments. Healing is complete 6-8 weeks after procedure.
