🌸 Areola 3D Tattoo (Medical Micropigmentation)

---

Areola 3D tattooing, also known as nipple-areola complex tattooing or medical micropigmentation, is a cosmetic tattoo technique that restores the appearance of the areola and nipple after breast reconstruction surgery.

This procedure uses shading, depth, and natural pigments to create the illusion of a 3-dimensional nipple and areola — even when no nipple mound is present. It's a final, empowering step in the breast cancer recovery journey, helping patients feel whole, confident, and feminine again.

• Restoring the natural appearance of the breast after mastectomy or reconstruction
   
• Enhancing results after nipple-sparing or nipple reconstruction surgeries
   
• Correcting areola size, shape, or color irregularities
   
• Camouflaging scars or asymmetry
   
• Supporting emotional healing after breast cancer
