Areola Reconstruction

After breast reconstruction surgery, an areola reconstruction may complete the process of a more natural breast appearance.

After the nipple reconstruction, a tattoo is used to create the look of an areola. The tattoo can be repeated if the areola color fades over time as tattoos usually do. The areola is often slightly darker than the desired pigment to compensate for the expected fading. Sometimes tattooing the opposite areola is recommended to achieve symmetry.
