Longterm, you still want to be a complete woman and you want to look as normal as possible. There is a wonderful procedure that’s available for these women and it’s nipple tattooing. In fact, there are some surgeons out there that have dedicated their lives to making women whole again, and they have worked with tattoo artists who do 3D tattooing.

 

Basically what they’re doing is they’re placing tattoos, using ink and shading and making the nipple look almost as real as possible. In fact, I’ve seen some patients where it’s hard to tell between the real nipple and the tattooed nipple from approximately five feet away. There are a few tattoo artists out there that have websites.

 

There are a few local people in your town that may be doing that, but it’s worth it to do an online search for 3D tattooing. And you can become a whole woman again, despite the fact that your breast has been removed.
