Bud in the Nip, is a dedicated non profit initiative of Dermakraft- Integral Micropigmentation Co, India, offering subsidized yet high quality non-surgical Nipple areola complex restoration to breast cancer survivors.

The nipple areola complex (NAC) has great symbolic significance for women. Many of the patients with loss of the nipple and areola from cancer excision continue to experience psychological distress even after breast mound reconstruction has been done. Various researches have shown that reconstructing the NAC has a positive influence on the recovery process from the damages to both physical and mental health inherent to breast cancer treatment. Although various surgical techniques are available for the reconstruction of both the nipple and the areola, the final color of the NAC is rarely close to that of the contralateral breast. Micropigmentation of NAC is a safe, fast procedure with low morbidity and good results of breast reconstruction.

“As micropigmentation professionals, with the hold we have on techniques, skills and other resources, we can positively affect lives of many those who are in need of restorative procedures, Bud in the nip is a humble step in this direction”

- Dr. Gaurav Raj Chhabra, Founder, Bud In the Nip

The restorative services from Dermakraft Medical and its affiliates, are offered at highly subsidized prices under the Bud in the Nip project. All procedures are carried out with due aesthetic precision under clinical grade hygiene and due privacy.
