Permanently Beautiful

Every four seconds another woman is diagnosed with breast cancer. Many will lose one or both breasts during their courageous fight against this disease. Breast reconstruction has become a common practice in America and an integral element in the healing process after a mastectomy. Complete breast reconstruction recreates not only the shape and balance of the breast mounds, but strives to recreate the appearance of a normal areola and nipple. This is what makes a breast mound look real, giving a healing cancer patient renewed confidence in her appearance as a woman.

Too often this final important step in the breast reconstruction process is performed by the individual’s surgeon, his nurse or a technician. While these individuals may be skilled in their respective fields, the application of paramedical tattooing to create a natural-looking nipple and areola is a highly specialized skill. Too often a cancer survivor must suffer one more indignity when inexpertly applied micropigmentation fails to produce a natural-looking or even acceptable result.

The Whitney Center for Permanent Cosmetics‘ Melany Whitney is a nationally-recognized expert in paramedical tattooing. Her compassion for the breast cancer survivors she treats led Melany to develop a revolutionary micropigmentation technique that successfully creates the illusion of a lifelike areola and three-dimensional nipple. Through Melany’s unique blend of technical expertise and artistry, breast cancer survivors are able to again have normal-looking, attractive breasts.
