3D Reconstructive Tattooing
For some patients (especially those with bilateral reconstructions) they opt against having the nipple reconstructions. This would normally leave them with just a smooth "breast mound". Rather than leave the reconstructions looking that unfinished, I began tattooing these patients to look as if the nipple was present.
Many patients find that this option gives them freedom to wear a wider variety of clothing without having to worry about the nipple protrusions being visible but still leaves the appearance of a nipple when undressed.
This technique is also referred to as "The Illusion of Protrusion" and for those with a sense of humor "Pointless Nipples".

This technique is difficult to convey with photographs. If you have any questions at all about this procedure, please let me know.
(Most of these photographs are taken immediately after the tattooing has been completed.)
Many of these photos were taken while the patients were in a reclining position ( for their comfort and for better lighting) so positioning may look "off".
