You can see despite using the same ink and techniques on both sides, the DIEP flap skin from the belly retained it lighter compared to the other side chest wall skin. So, at touch up I evened out the 2 side areolas and added more to #3deffect and details. That's why the 2 step method is so important. Different skin can act differently. Sometimes it's spot onโ€ฆother times it's unpredictable. It's best to let the skin REVEAL to you how it heals then go from there.

#MASTECTOMYTATTOOS shown freshly done on bilateral implant based #breastreconstruction ๐ŸŽ€ This service was made possible for this lovely lady through the generosity of the AiRS Foundation ๐Ÿ’“ I am so proud to be a participating artist with them! Please visit their page to learn more! This client had some wound healing complications with her #nipplereconstruction surgery leaving scar and some thin skin present. Her surgically created nipples are low and very lateral on her breast mounds... they're also flattened which allowed me to ignore the placement and put lovely #3Dnippletattoos in a more aesthetic position and avoiding attempting to put her #3deffect portion of the tattoo on that thin skin (this is a safety issue which is more important). The redness will subside as they heal and she'll be back for touch up later. #areolarestorativetattooing #nipplefairy๐Ÿงšโ€โ™€๏ธ

#MASTECTOMYTATTOOS shown freshly done on bilateral #diepflapreconstruction with implants. #diepflap by Michael Miller at OSU plastic surgery after a failed #implant based #breastreconstruction ๐ŸŽ€ Then Dr Hedrick in Dayton Ohio did #nipplereconstruction and placed implants beneath her diep flaps. She chose to come to Columbus for her #nippletatttoos by me ๐Ÿงšโ€โ™€๏ธ โค These tattoos are fresh and red here but will soften as they heal. Some will return for touch up later.

#MASTECTOMYTATTOOS on bilateral #diepflapreconstruction by Midwest Breast. She had a previous lumpectomy with #radiationtherapy on the right side prior to her #mastectomy ๐ŸŽ€ Her #3Dnippletattoo on that side falls 1/2 on her previously radiated chest wall skin and 1/2 on the #diepflap so we will let it #revealhowitwillheal and adjust as needed on touch up also adding to #3deffect. Redness will lessen as they heal.

#MASTECTOMYTATTOOS shown freshly done on bilateral #diepflapreconstruction by Midwest Breast ๐Ÿ’“ Her old abdominal tattoo got moved up with her #diepflap skin paddle so a few months ago, I did a test coverage spot and it worked beautifully. Her original areolas were a rich brown so this color for coverage was decided upon. She will return later for touch up with me and plan for perhaps something decorative to cover the old remaining tattoo in the future.

#MASTECTOMYTATTOOS on Bilateral implant based #breastreconstruction ๐ŸŽ€ done at the Cleveland Clinic. This has been a long road to get to this stage. She initially had #nipplesparing #mastectomies resulting in losing the majority of her #NAC bilaterally. She required wound care and revision surgeries. Then she was turned away by a very famous #nippletattooartist because she had existing #areola tissue refusing to tattoo her until she underwent more surgery to remove it! She found me on the internet and I was more than happy to help. She has realistic expectations on the end result and is #overthemoon๐ŸŒœ with her new look.

#MASTECTOMYTATTOOS freshly done on this sweetheart who came frome Michigan to see me! She had a long road of #breastcancer #reconstructivesurgery , initially treated with lumpectomy and #radiationtherapy on the right, followed by reoccurrence and bilateral #mastectomy She had a #latissimusdorsi flap on the right and implant based on the left where her skin is very thin. This must be treated very carefully. Fresh tattoos are red and swollen at first. We used her preoperative pictures for inspiration. She will return for touch up later. Also neutralized her radiation marker tattoo.

Her healed 1st session looks great. At touchup I added a light dusting of ink to give a powdery edge of the areola plus more #3deffect and details. ๐Ÿ˜

I originally tattooed her for one visit in 2016 and she returned for touch up in 2020. She looks natural and lovely ๐Ÿ˜ I enlarged her 1st set of areola tattoos which are healed, so at touch up I added more to deepen the #3deffect and details.

#MASTECTOMYTATTOOS on right implant based #breastreconstruction and left #diepflapreconstruction.

Progression from start to finish

You can see despite using the same ink and techniques on both sides, the DIEP flap skin from the belly retained it lighter compared to the other side chest wall skin. So, at touch up I evened out the 2 side areolas and added more to #3deffect and details. That's why the 2 step method is so important. Different skin can act differently. Sometimes it's spot onโ€ฆother times it's unpredictable. It's best to let the skin REVEAL to you how it heals then go from there.

Radiation marker neutralized

I neutralized the blueish black tattoo marker from her radiation treatment. Now it appears more like a freckle. Added another layer at breast touch up. ๐Ÿงšโ€โ™€๏ธNote: I ONLY treat the central midline tattoo marker. I NEVER touch the others located lateral/on the breast, in case (she didn't reach her radiation max before) they'd be needed to identify previous xrt location for future treatments.

Each restorative tattoo artist has a unique style and It's important that you find the right artist for you ๐ŸŽจ !

Her left nipple reconstruction protrudes but the right had compromised blood supply and is completely flat. #3deffect was added so they look equal ๐Ÿ‘€ Redness will lessen and these will soften to a warm rosy beige. She did not want physician office tattooing but a more natural, realistic appearing nipple tattoo. I'm so glad she chose me for her #finishingtouch ๐Ÿฅฐ

Progression of visits

Here you can see exactly why I tell people not to pick their artist by looking at freshly done tattoos. She is pale with very reactive skin. This turns red and swells during the tattoo process. Here areolas were completed in one sitting, requiring no additional color. You can see she has a lovely result healed after 1st session and the touch up to #3deffect and details really makes it even more realistic!

#MASTECTOMYTATTOOS shown freshly done on bilateral implant based #breastreconstruction ๐ŸŽ€ This service was made possible for this lovely lady through the generosity of the AiRS Foundation ๐Ÿ’“ I am so proud to be a participating artist with them! Please visit their page to learn more! This client had some wound healing complications with her #nipplereconstruction surgery leaving scar and some thin skin present. Her surgically created nipples are low and very lateral on her breast mounds... they're also flattened which allowed me to ignore the placement and put lovely #3Dnippletattoos in a more aesthetic position and avoiding attempting to put her #3deffect portion of the tattoo on that thin skin (this is a safety issue which is more important).
