AREOLA RESTORATION

Areola restoration is a tattoo procedure that creates a 3D replica of the areola and nipple. It's for people who've experienced total loss, irregularity, or inconsistency in their areolas and nipples due to breast reconstructive surgery. Scar Camouflage is also an option for those with breast augmentations. The procedure produces a soft, hyper-realistic, and permanent result meant to restore beauty and look natural. The healing process and long-term appearance depend on how well you care for your areolas. Each person's skin responds differently, so the number of sessions and color retention vary. Results may not be guaranteed, as they're influenced by individual factors.
