What is areola (nipple) restoration and which patients are suitable for it?

Areola restoration is a medical permanent makeup procedure applied to women who have undergone breast cancer treatment (mastectomy – removal of the breast) and had breast tissue reconstructed but lacked a nipple and the colored ring around it (areola). Using special 3D coloring and shading techniques, a realistic nipple and areola image is drawn onto a completely flat skin surface. This procedure is one of the most respected and meaningful applications of medical aesthetics, enabling women who have overcome breast cancer to feel aesthetically and psychologically whole again.
