Restorative Areola Tattooing is a specialized form of medical tattooing that recreates the appearance of a natural areola and nipple. It is often performed after breast reconstruction surgery to help clients regain a sense of wholeness and confidence.

This procedure is ideal for anyone who has undergone a mastectomy, breast reconstruction, or other breast surgeries and wishes to restore the appearance of their areola. It’s also suitable for individuals looking to correct or enhance the shape, size, or colour of their areolas.

Most clients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure. A topical numbing cream is applied to ensure your comfort. Pain tolerance varies, but the numbing process significantly reduces any discomfort.

Areola tattoos are semi-permanent and typically last between 3-5 years. Over time, the pigment may fade, and touch-ups may be needed to maintain the desired appearance.

The healing process usually takes about 7-10 days. Initially, the tattoo may appear darker and slightly swollen. As it heals, the color will soften and the skin will return to normal. Full results are typically visible after 4-6 weeks.
