At 360 Wellness in Houma, LA, our areolar restoration services help individuals feel complete again after mastectomy or breast reconstruction. This is deeply personal work, and our team approaches every session with the sensitivity and respect you deserve.
What Is Areolar Restoration?
Areolar restoration is a specialized form of restorative tattooing that recreates the natural appearance of the areola and nipple -- most commonly sought by individuals who have undergone mastectomy, breast reconstruction, or other breast surgery. The technique uses custom-blended pigments, advanced shading, and three-dimensional illusion to produce a realistic result on skin that has been altered by surgical procedures. 360 Wellness provides this service as a meaningful part of the recovery process.
Many clients tell us they did not realize this option existed until well into their recovery. 360 Wellness wants more people to know that areolar restoration is available. It can make a profound difference in how you feel about your body after surgery.
Who Is This Service For?
