Areola restoration In Calgary

Areola restorative tattooing is a specialized form of paramedical tattooing that recreates the appearance of a natural areola and nipple using advanced tattooing techniques. This procedure is often performed for individuals who have undergone mastectomies, breast reconstruction, or other surgeries, as well as those with scarring or pigmentation loss. By using customized pigments and shading techniques, areola tattooing restores a realistic, three-dimensional look, helping individuals regain confidence and a sense of wholeness. The results are long-lasting and tailored to each client’s skin tone and aesthetic preferences.

As a compassionate and skilled permanent makeup artist, I am dedicated to helping breast cancer survivors and individuals who have undergone a mastectomy or any breast surgery regain their confidence and feel whole again through the art of areola tattooing.

This service is very near and dear to my heart: I lost my mom to Breast Cancer in 2003. Yes, it was a long time ago and I feel blessed I can now offer this service to others who have gone through this journey!

WHAT ARE 3D NIPPLE TATTOOS?

Areola tattooing, also known as nipple tattooing or 3D areola restoration, is a specialized technique that recreates the natural appearance of the areola and nipple complex. This transformative procedure is not just about aesthetics; it is about empowering individuals and providing them with a sense of closure and healing after their breast reconstruction journeY.

This technique is commonly used for individuals who have undergone mastectomies, breast reconstruction, or other surgeries that resulted in nipple loss. Using advanced shading and color-matching techniques, artists tattoo realistic highlights and shadows to give the appearance of depth and texture, even though the skin remains flat. 3D nipple tattoos help restore confidence and provide a non-invasive, long-lasting alternative to surgical nipple reconstruction.

TREATMENT FAQS

AREOLA REPIGMENTATION COST

Typically, securing a 3D Areola tattoo from a certified tattoo specialist can cost approximately $350 for a single nipple and around $600 for both nipples, should you choose to pay independently. You can visit our service page to understand our pricing structure better.

DOES AREOLA TATTOOING HURT?

As the pigment settles into its form, microblading can take about 10 to 14 days to heal properly.

Post-mastectomy, it's common to experience breast numbness, as nerve damage during the procedure often leads to a reduction in breast sensation.

The amount of discomfort experienced during the nipple and areola tattooing process varies from individual to individual. However, it's important to remember that the sensitivity of your reconstructed breast is typically diminished. Therefore, discomfort is usually minimal to nonexistent.

You might experience some slight tingling or unease, but these sensations can usually be mitigated with the application of a numbing cream or a topical anaesthetic during the procedure.

For patients with implants, it's important to note that they might feel an increased vibration on their skin during the procedure. This sensation isn't painful, but it's worth knowing in advance what to expect.

HOW LONG DOES A 3D AREOLA LAST?

Although tattoos are generally designed to be permanent, in most instances, the ink is softened to create a natural blend with each individual's skin tone. Factors such as exfoliation, the use of body creams, circulation, and overall aftercare of the tattoo contribute to fading over time. It's typical that after about five years, you may need to rejuvenate the colour.

When executing the tattoo, our usual approach is to aim for a lighter hue rather than a darker one, which might necessitate a second visit. It's important to remember that it's easier for us to intensify the shade than to lighten it before the process is finished. Thus, opting for a brighter shade is usually more advantageous than choosing a darker one.
