After undergoing breast cancer treatment, many women opt for breast reconstruction to restore the natural appearance of the breasts. If a nipple-sparing mastectomy isn’t possible, our practice offers natural-looking 3D nipple tattooing as an empowering option for people in Schererville, Munster, Crown Point, and other Indiana communities seeking additional closure and confidence after their breast reconstruction journey.
What Is Nipple and Areola Tattooing?
A licensed medical professional performs 3D nipple tattooing, also called paramedical tattooing, to create the realistic illusion of a protruding nipple and surrounding areola after breast reconstruction. Using detailed shading and coloring, the tattoo is artfully and meticulously applied to the breast to mimic the texture and color variations of your natural nipple.
Women who choose paramedical tattooing enjoy these benefits:
- Customization: Your tattoo is tailored to your natural or desired nipple color, shape, and appearance.
- Safety: Your tattoo is administered by a certified medical professional.
- Emotional and physical healing: Restoring nipple appearance boosts body image by making women feel “whole” again.
