What is Areola Restoration

Areola Restoration is a specialized procedure designed to enhance the appearance of the areola after surgery, injury, or changes due to various medical conditions. This technique uses pigmentation to recreate a natural-looking areola, helping to restore confidence and femininity for individuals who have undergone breast surgery, such as mastectomy or augmentation.

How Does Areola Restoration Work?

During the procedure, specialized pigments are carefully applied to the skin using a technique similar to tattooing. The color, shape, and size of the areola are customized to match your natural breast appearance or to create a new look that enhances overall aesthetics. This method provides a realistic effect, blending seamlessly with your skin tone.

Who Can Benefit?

Areola Restoration is ideal for individuals who have experienced changes in their areolas due to surgery (e.g., mastectomy, breast reconstruction, or reduction), trauma, or other medical conditions. This procedure is suitable for all skin types and can help those looking to restore balance and symmetry to their breasts.

Benefits of Areola Restoration:

• Natural-Looking Results: The procedure is designed to mimic the natural appearance of an areola, enhancing your overall look.

• Boosts Confidence: Restoring the appearance of the areola can significantly enhance self-esteem and body image.

• Non-Invasive: Unlike surgical options, Areola Restoration is a gentle, outpatient procedure with minimal recovery time.

Areola Restoration Aftercare

Proper aftercare is crucial for ensuring the best results and promoting healing after your Areola Restoration procedure. Please follow these guidelines:

First 3 Days After the Procedure:

• Keep the Area Dry: Avoid contact with water, including showers, swimming pools, and sweating. Gently pat the area dry if it gets damp.

• Do Not Touch or Pick: Refrain from touching, rubbing, or scratching the treated area. Allow any minor scabbing to heal naturally.

• Avoid Makeup and Skincare Products: Do not apply any makeup, creams, or other skincare products to the area for at least 3 days.

Days 4-7:

• Apply a Recommended Ointment: After day 3, use a gentle healing ointment recommended by your specialist to keep the area moisturized and support the healing process.

• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Protect the treated area from sun exposure, as UV rays can cause fading. If you must be outdoors, cover the area or use sunscreen with SPF 30+.

Weeks 2-4:

• Continue to Avoid Sun Exposure: To maintain the color and integrity of the pigments, use sunscreen if the area is exposed to sunlight.

• Avoid Harsh Products: Refrain from using exfoliants, chemical peels, or any aggressive skin treatments until the area is fully healed.

Long-term Care:

• Moisturize Regularly: Once healed, continue to apply a gentle moisturizer to keep the skin hydrated.

• Follow-Up Sessions: Depending on your skin type and lifestyle, a touch-up may be necessary to maintain the vibrancy of the areola color.
