#MASTECTOMYTATTOOS on Bilateral implant based #breastreconstruction ๐ done at the Cleveland Clinic. This has been a long road to get to this stage.

She found me on the internet and I was more than happy to help. She has realistic expectations on the end result and is #overthemoon๐ with her new look.

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

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 onโฆother times it's unpredictable. It's best to let the skin REVEAL to you how it heals then go from there.
After touch up. I also neutralized her 2 radiation markers on her midline.
#MASTECTOMYTATTOOS freshly done on lovely bilateral #diepflapreconstruction by Midwest Breast ๐ here I evened the surgically created #nipplereconstruction to appear the same shape and size. This will heal to a soft pink after redness subsides.

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. ๐งโโ๏ธNote: 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.

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 ๐ฅฐ
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 ๐. Her original mastectomy and reconstruction was done 13 years ago and she had #nipplereconstruction with #areola grafting.

#MASTECTOMYTATTOOS shown freshly done on bilateral implant based #breastreconstruction ๐ This service was made possible for this lovely lady through the generosity of the AiRS Foundation ๐ 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 #nipplefairy๐งโโ๏ธ

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

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 onโฆother times it's unpredictable. It's best to let the skin REVEAL to you how it heals then go from there.
After touch up. I also neutralized her 2 radiation markers on her midline.
#MASTECTOMYTATTOOS freshly done on lovely bilateral #diepflapreconstruction by Midwest Breast ๐ here I evened the surgically created #nipplereconstruction to appear the same shape and size. This will heal to a soft pink after redness subsides.

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. ๐งโโ๏ธNote: 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.

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 ๐ This service was made possible for this lovely lady through the generosity of the AiRS Foundation ๐ 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).
