Reconstructive tattooing is a widely recognized restorative treatment in the medical field, effective to conceal the scars on the skin.

Restorative Treatment Benefits

Restorative treatment brings the following benefits:

• Disguises scars due to skin diseases, mainly vitiligo
• Hides scratches and marks caused by accidents, surgery, skin cancer or burns
• Hair simulation to restore a natural look and conceal the patches due to hair loss on the eyebrows, eyelashes, moustache and scalp.
• Enables nipple-areola re-pigmentation on the reconstructed breast after mastectomy surgery and breast surgeries including augmentation, breast lift and reduction
• Enables to restore skin tone and texture after Mohs reconstructions and skin grafts

Things to Consider when Preparing for Restorative Treatments

Always keep in mind to check whether these treatments are suitable for you. Micropigmentation or reconstructive tattooing is the process of coloring the outer dermal layer using natural pigments derived from iron oxides. At all times, confirm the use of ultra-fine sterile needles for tattooing. Topical anesthesia is provided before the treatment to ensure total comfort of the patient.

Prior to the restorative treatments, the patient has to consult the plastic surgeon to gather all details about the treatment procedures, risk factors, costs, post-operative care and recovery period. After assessing your health conditions and related factors, the surgeon confirms your candidacy for the treatment. Prior to the treatment the required lab tests are carried out, medications are prescribed; patients are advised to stop smoking and avoid the use of anti-inflammatory drugs. Allergy tests are also conducted before the actual procedures.

Selection of matching pigments for tattooing is an important process. After breast reconstruction surgery, many women wish to have nipple and areola tattooing to simulate a natural appearance. Spot tests are done by the surgeon to choose a colour that looks natural. These tests are done 4 to 6 weeks prior to the actual treatment. Once the spot is healed, the colour is assessed to proceed with further tattooing procedures. More than one session may be required for attaining the results you desire. It is important that you maintain realistic expectations regarding the results. Normally, restorative treatments or tattooing are done on healed scars having stable color. Imperfections of the skin can be hidden only if the scars are smooth and flat without dark edges.
