Benefits of Areola Tattooing in Denver for a More Natural Look

Breast reconstruction can restore your shape, but of course, you want your results to look as natural as possible. Areola tattooing helps recreate the nipple and areola in a realistic way.

Dr. Christopher G. Williams and Dr. Jeremy Z. Williams are board-certified plastic surgeons at The Breast Center in Lone Tree, Colorado. Both surgeons trained at The Johns Hopkins Hospital, one of the most recognized medical institutions in the country. 

Patients in Denver and beyond can benefit from their expertise in areola tattooing as a finishing touch to breast reconstruction.

What Is Areola Tattooing?

Areola tattooing is a specialized form of medical tattooing that replicates the natural look of the nipple and areola. It is often done after breast reconstruction to add pigmentation and shading.

This process is different from getting a regular tattoo. The surgeon will use special techniques to create color and shading that blend with the skin. Many women choose this as the final step in their reconstruction to help their breasts look more complete.

Benefits of Areola Tattooing

Areola tattooing comes with the following benefits:

• Increases Confidence: Many patients feel more comfortable with their reconstructed breasts after areola tattooing. Adding this detail can help you feel more like yourself again.
• Minimally Invasive: Areola tattooing is a straightforward, non-surgical step in breast reconstruction. The procedure is fast, with little to no downtime.
• Custom Pigmentation Options: Your surgeon will work with you to choose the right color, shape, and size to match your skin tone and preferences.
• Balances Skin Tone and Scarring: Areola tattooing can help soften the appearance of surgical scars by blending pigment with the surrounding skin.
• Adaptable for Unilateral or Bilateral Reconstruction: Whether you have had surgery on one or both breasts, areola tattooing can be adjusted to match the natural side or create symmetry between both breasts.
• Long-Lasting Results: The pigments used in areola tattooing last for years and maintain their shape and color with minimal touch-ups.
