Excellence in Medical Tattooing

Medical tattooing is an highly specialized procedure requiring not only experience but a great deal of attention to detail.

Medical tattooing minimizes the appearance of scars by correcting any areas where loss of pigment occurred, also known as “Scar Camouflage”.

Traditionally medical tattooing was known for creating 3D areolas after mastectomy surgery. However, there is a growing trend in patients undergoing standard breast or chest surgery who simply wish to have minimally visible scars and opt for medical tattooing as an efficient way to permanently camouflage scars. Patients can now have the option to have medical tattooing at Cruise Plastic Surgery to camouflage their scars and feel happier about their appearance after the treatment.

Ideal Scars for Camouflage

Hypo-pigmented scars are ideal scars for camouflage. These scars look white or lighter in color than the surrounding skin. i.e. facelift scars or around the areola or small areas from melanin loss.

3D Areola – Medical Tattooing can restore the shape of the areola when the pigment is lost in addition to creating the appearance of a 3D nipple.
