Areola Tattoo

3D Nipple Tattoo Restoration

Areola tattooing is a safe, precise, and transformative procedure designed to restore the appearance of the areola following mastectomy surgery. Beyond aesthetic restoration, it can play an important role in emotional healing, helping patients regain confidence and a sense of wholeness.

Robin provides both unilateral (single areola) and bilateral (both areolas) treatments, customized to each individual’s needs.

This treatment is also beneficial for patients with breast surgery scarring, asymmetry, or those seeking improved symmetry and a natural-looking enhancement.

The Areola Restoration Process with Robin Hays

THE PROCEDURE

During your personalized consultation, Robin carefully evaluates your anatomy, skin type, and desired outcome to design an areola that complements your body naturally. The treatment area is prepared using strict medical-grade hygiene protocols, and a topical anesthetic is applied to ensure comfort throughout the procedure. Using precise micropigmentation techniques, pigment is carefully implanted to replicate the natural color, shape, and texture of the areola.

THE HEALING PROCESS

Some redness, mild swelling, or flaking is normal in the first week and part of the natural healing process. You will receive detailed aftercare instructions to support optimal healing and pigment retention. A follow-up session is scheduled 6–8 weeks later to evaluate results and make any necessary refinements, ensuring symmetry, color balance, and the most natural, lasting outcome.

At every stage, Robin prioritizes both your safety and emotional comfort, guiding you through the process with care and expertise to achieve results that restore both appearance and confidence.

THE FOLLOW UP & LONGEVITY

A follow-up appointment is typically scheduled 6–8 weeks after the initial procedure to assess healing and perform any necessary refinements, ensuring optimal symmetry, color retention, and overall aesthetic outcome.

The pigment generally retains its appearance for 1–3 years, though individual results may vary depending on skin type, lifestyle factors, and sun exposure.
