What is areola tattooing?
Drs. Christine Fisher and Silvia Kurtovic describe areola tattooing as a way of restoring the appearance of the breasts following breast removal. During breast reconstruction, the nipples are no longer present. Due to this, many women feel embarrassed by the appearance of their breasts, even after they’ve been restored following breast removal. Areola tattooing is a service offered by our team at Austin Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery to help create the illusion of a nipple using a specialized 3D-styled tattoo.
Will my areola tattoo look natural?
With medical-grade tattoo services, tattoo artists are experienced in replicating the appearance of a natural nipple on the fully-healed breasts. When possible, during construction, a nipple mound will be left which can prepare the breast for the 3D tattoo later on. This gives women the option to move forward with aesthetic tattooing to restore the appearance of their nipples even after removal. At Austin Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, patients can ask to see before and after photos of our areola tattooing patients to get an idea of what they can expect from their procedure. We take this time to answer any questions a woman might have about this cosmetic solution.
