3D areola/nipple tattoo
1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. Around 40% of those will need a mastecomy as part of their treatment. In many cases women will opot for breast reconstruction and creating a nipple or areola will be part of that process.
In many cases, the areola will be removed as well if there is chance of cancer cells in the tissue. There are several options for mastectomy patients regarding the areola area. Some surgeons will create a nipple, using a silicone implant or the patients own tissue. Or no medical nipple reconstruction can be a choice. For some patients, a 3d areola tattoo can create a hyper realistic tattoo that will provide color, texture and shadows and highlight that can either match their native breast or create two new areolas.
Sometimes clients have received a medical tattoo at the time of their reconstruction at their doctors, or had past areola tattoos that have faded or that clients are uphappy with. Glow offers free consultations and can at the time of consultation discuss options available.
Not all women who need a 3D areola tattoo are breast cancer survivors. Sometimes women who have undergone breast augmentation can loose their areola. And men can sometimes for medical reasons also have their areolas removed and also be candidates for a 3d areola. Others may have scarring surrounding the areola and a combination of scar camouflage and areola pigmentation can offer women a cosmetic option.
Lastly, there are some women who like to have their areolas repigmented (we loose color as we age in our areolas) soley for cosmetic reasons and that can also be a service that Glow Cosmetic Tattoo can offer clients.
