Mastectomy troubles

Hi all,

This is really to gain an understanding and an opinion. A close friend has recently undergone a double mastectomy and is contemplating whether or not to have 3D Areola construction through permanent make up. She is wanting to know if it is a good option if anyone has had it themselves and would recommend. I think her biggest fear is them looking fake. Any replies or recommendations would be amazing. 

  • Hi dandan1,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. Unfortunately I'm not able to advise on this, but it may be worth browsing or searching the forum (using the button in the blue bar above) if you haven't already, for any other potentially relevant discussions.

    My reply here will also boost your post so more people will see it, and if anyone has experience to share then hopefully they'll be along soon.

    All the best,

  • Hi

    Not had this yet but know a good place for your friend to get feedback - facebook page 'DIEP reconstruction UK', its a private facebook group so your friend will need to request to join.  They're a very friendly bunch and I've seen lots of positive feedback re the 3D tattoos - which I will be having at some point in the future.
