After a long and tiring fight with Breast cancer, many women wish to improve the aesthetic appearance of their reconstructed breast. One of the final steps in post mastectomy breast restoration is the creation of Nipple areola complex. With advent of high quality equipment and pigments many women these days are choosing 3D areola micropigmentation over surgical procedures for areola restoration. It is also called Nipple or Areola tattoo in layman’s terms.
The aim of nipple and areola micro-pigmentation is to improve the cosmetic appearance of the breast by recreating, as closely as possible, a nipple and areola that mimics the previous natural self or the one on the opposite breast. This has a positive effect of improving body image and boosting self esteem.
Since the procedure is only minimally invasive, practically painless, comparatively free of any possible complications and gives vary natural looking results, it is becoming a preferred method for the final step in breast cancer rehabilitation.
However, at present, not many centers are offering a truly 3D Areola restoration in India. With a vision to guide and support the patients seeking 3D areola micropigmentation as the option, Bud in the Nip was founded as a non profit initiative of Dermakraft- Integral Micropigmentation Co. Today many women have benefited from the highly subsidized restorative areola micropigmentation services offered at highly subsidized prices by the project.
For most of the patients, the restoration of nipple not only has an aesthetic importance but it also provides a great sense of healing after having undergone immense suffering in their fight against cancer. And that is very important!
