How to do a simple dermabrasion tattoo technique for a single-stage nipple areolar reconstruction

Abstract

In this guide, we discuss a technique that allows nipple tattooing to be done at the time of the patient’s nipple reconstruction surgery, using simple equipment available in most hospitals, without the need for a specialist tattoo machine. This simple technique reconstructs the full NAC aesthetic unit, giving a more immediate result compared to the traditional two-stage process. By allowing this step to be completed at the time of their reconstruction, one could propose their satisfaction is accelerated, and allows their treatment journey to come to an end sooner.
