What is Medical Micropigmentation?
Permanent makeup pigments are implanted into the skin to restore/enhance the appearance of the areola and nipple. This medical tattooing treatment works really well on a wide range of clients and is the ideal long term solution to get more confidence in your appearance. We also can increase areola size when considering a change in identity and this treatment is open for the transgender community
Here at North East Cosmetics we offer this treatment free to those who have lost their areola/nipples due to breast cancer through our Pay with a Smile campaign which you can make a donation too if you choose to below. Donations made will go towards funding for our sponsored artist to cover the cost of time, products and equipment so we can offer FREE life changing nipple tattoos to those who have had breast cancer.
If one or both of your nipples were removed when you had a mastectomy, you can in most cases choose to have surgery, tattooing, or both to recreate the nipple and the areola (the dark area around the nipple). Some people find that having their nipples reconstructed or tattooed is an important final step in the breast reconstruction process. Others don’t. The choice is completely up to you, and you can take your time to decide. Plastic surgeons usually recommend waiting at least four months after breast reconstruction surgery to have nipple reconstruction or nipple tattoos. This will give your breasts time to heal and settle into a final position. It’s also best to wait until you’re fully satisfied with the rest of your reconstruction. Rarely, some surgeons may offer the option of performing the nipple reconstruction as part of breast reconstruction surgery (rather than as a separate surgery). This is generally not recommended because it can result in poor positioning of the new nipples.
