Areola Restoration
Areola restoration is a semi-permanent solution in which pigment (color) is implanted into the skin of your breast to re-create the color and shape of the nipple-areola complex. The aim of this procedure is to create an areola that is as realistic as possible.
This solution minimizes the appearance of breast scars and improves areola irregularities, restoring them to a natural shape and symmetry. This treatment is ideal for men and women whose areola/nipple is too pale, without definition, too small or asymmetrical. It can help you achieve a balanced shaped, enhanced color and incredibly natural definition.
As a microblading artist and areola restoration specialist, I have seen the transformative power of my work on the lives of cancer survivors.
The loss of hair, eyebrows, and the nipple-areola complex can leave survivors feeling defeated, hopeless, and less confident.
Through my artistry, I have had the privilege of helping many people regain what chemotherapy and surgery have taken away. It is an honor for me to help these warriors feel like themselves again, see the smiles on their faces, and witness the joy and confidence that my work brings.
