Restoring Confidence with Areola Tattooing
Brief explanation that areola tattooing is a form of medical tattoo and appearance care, often performed after breast cancer treatment or breast reconstruction.
What is Areola Tattooing?
-
It is a medical micropigmentation procedure designed to recreate the natural appearance of the areola and nipple.
-
Many patients undergo breast reconstruction, but without the areola, the result may still feel incomplete or unnatural.
-
Areola tattooing helps achieve a more natural-looking chest, reduces the need for additional surgery, and supports emotional healing.
Who Can Benefit?
After breast cancer surgery (with or without nipple-areola reconstruction)
Scars after areola reduction surgery.
Those seeking a natural and three-dimensional appearance.
Who is Not a Candidate?
During ongoing reconstruction procedures.
Undergoing radiation therapy, or with severe post-radiation skin changes.
Severe underlying medical conditions or allergies.

お客さまの声
After my surgery, I felt like something was missing. When I had my areola restored through tattooing, it was as if I finally recognized myself in the mirror again. It gave me back a sense of wholeness and peace.
The tattooing process was gentle and professional. I never imagined something so simple could make such a big difference. Now I feel confident wearing my favorite clothes again, without hesitation.
For a long time, I avoided looking at my chest. This treatment changed that. The natural result helps me feel comfortable in my own body, and I can finally close this chapter of my recovery.
