Scar Camouflage

Scar Camouflage can be used in many ways from adding some color to a white scar or to building a full areola after a mastectomy. 

These 3 images show the before, intermediate and after steps of camouflage tatooing.

Right breast mastectomy reconstruction.
The actual breast was formed from donor material from the stomach area.
Skin from left areola was transplanted to the right breast to form a new areola.
And a patch of skin from the stomach was used to add skin to help form the new breast.
 
Scars and stitch marks around areole were blended and made to look even by tattooing color into the area.  Color was also added to the white skin to make it blend to the entire chest and all scars left from the actual surgery were softened.
 
This procedure took three applications of color and blending over several months.  The picture to the right shows the breast three months after the first procedure.

Patient satisfaction was incredibly high.

There are many uses for cosmetic tattoo in camouflagueing scars.  It has successfully blended scars from facial and head injuries.  Scars in the eyebrows and scalp can be easily blended.  Tell tale scaring from face lifts can be blended and made less detectable.  Pigment can be added to white scars blending them to the surrounding skin.
