Areola restoration/reconstruction can be a very beneficial procedure for breast cancer survivors. Not only can it improve the appearance of their breasts but also their self-esteem and confidence levels.
After breast reconstruction surgery, many women will find that their reconstructed breasts are missing an areola. It can be very depressing for some women and cause them to feel self-conscious about their chest area.
Minimize Scars
Areola restoration techniques can minimize scars created by breast reconstruction and breast augmentation. The procedure can also soften and blend scars that are too large or unsightly to be hidden by clothing.
Many women choose to undergo breast reduction surgery and the areola restoration technique. It is because breast reductions can reduce sagging and improve the shape of the breasts.
Some breast operations involve one or more incisions at or around the edge of the areola, which can produce a peri-areolar scar. Tattooing the areola scar using corrective pigment camouflage techniques can soften, blend, or reduce scars.
Another way to minimize the appearance of surgical scars is to practice perfect skincare after your procedure. It can help speed healing and decrease the risk of additional scars appearing.
Enhance Self-Esteem
One of the most gratifying aspects of breast reconstruction is the restoration of self-esteem. But, unfortunately, a women’s self-image is directly tied to her appearance, and a missing areola can be a psychological booby trap.
