3D Areola Reconstruction in Alberta: What to Expect from Medical Tattooing

For many people, healing after breast surgery doesn’t end when the medical treatment is complete.3D areola reconstruction is a form of medical tattooing designed to restore the natural appearance of the areola and nipple using advanced pigment blending, light, and shadow.

At Max Color Ink in Alberta, this service is offered with privacy, sensitivity, and a trauma-informed approach—because this work is about restoration, not decoration.

What Is 3D Areola Reconstruction?

3D areola reconstruction is a non-surgical tattoo procedure that creates the illusion of a natural areola and nipple on the skin’s surface.

Unlike traditional tattoos, this technique relies on:

  • subtle color gradients

  • soft edges (no outlines)

  • realistic depth created through shading

The result is a natural, three-dimensional appearance rather than a flat image.

Who Is This Treatment For?

This service may be suitable for individuals who:

  • have undergone mastectomy or breast reconstruction

  • experienced trauma or surgical scarring

  • have asymmetry or pigment loss

  • want a restorative, non-invasive option

Every consultation is private and individualized.

Is This a Medical or Cosmetic Service?

While performed by a tattoo professional, 3D areola reconstruction is considered restorative medical tattooing.

The focus is not aesthetics alone, but:

  • emotional closure

  • body autonomy

  • restoring a sense of wholeness

Does It Hurt?

Sensitivity varies, but most clients describe the procedure as manageable.Numbing options may be discussed during consultation if appropriate.

Healing & Results

  • Initial healing: 7–10 days

  • Color softens as skin heals

  • Touch-ups may be recommended after healing

Results are long-lasting but may gradually fade over time, as with all tattoos.
