Permanently Beautiful

The term mastoplexy can be used for any mammoplasty that corrects the size, contour, or elevation of sagging breasts.  Also commonly known as breast
life surgery, the term mastoplexy takes its roots from the Greek words masto and plexy meaning “breast” and “affix,” respectively.  Women who can benefit from mastoplexy include women who have gone through one or several pregnancies, women who are reaching older age, and post menopausal women among others. If you fall into any of these categories, chances are your bust line has lost elevation, size, or appropriate contour as a result.

Although mastoplexy can make breasts look fuller and more youthful and ensure that you, as a woman, feel more comfortable during exercise and in and out of your clothing, there is often one common side effect you’ll need to be aware of.  Scars often result from mastoplexy surgeries.  These scars may appear around the breast-areola area or any other place an incision has been made.  This is why permanent makeup and mastoplexy often need to go hand in hand to complete a successful breast transformation.

The expert paramedical tattooing professionals at the Melany Whitney Center for Permanent Cosmetics have perfected the art of scar camouflage.  If you will be in the New York or New Jersey area and you have an unsightly scar from a past surgery or are planning your mastoplexy today, consulting with the Melany Whitney Center will help to ensure that the final results from your breast surgery are beautiful.

Most women have at least one thing in common despite differences in age, culture, lifestyle, or ability.  We all want to look and feel beautiful.  We want to be the best versions of ourselves we can be and to present a face to the world that we’re proud of and one that projects great first impressions. 

Most women apply makeup every morning as part of their daily beauty routine to keep themselves looking fresh, awake, and young.  For women with disabilities or certain medical conditions, however, applying makeup every morning can be burdensome.  If the following describes you or your loved one, you are urged to consult with an expert permanent makeup artist.    

For women who have poor eyesight or are legally blind, looking in the mirror and trying to apply makeup flawlessly can be an unwelcome source of stress.  The same holds true for women with unsteady hands which may be just slightly unsteady or severely unsteady due to a specific neurological like Parkinson’s Disease.  Applying makeup in the morning can even be tough for women with blood sugar related conditions that affect stability.

Sometimes the little things some women take for granted, such as getting ready and feeling that they look their best in the morning, are not so simple for women with the issues addressed above.  For these women, permanent makeup or permanently tattooed cosmetics can offer the perfect solution.    

If you’re looking to camouflage your scars permanently, one of the best things you can do is consult with Melany Whitney at the Whitney Center for Permanent cosmetics. One of the many services the Whitney Center offers is called “micropigmentation,” a technique that is great for permanently camouflaging scars and skin discolorations.

Scars and imperfections can occur after medical surgeries, cosmetic surgies as well as burns or other injuries. In certain case, pigmentation issues or skin discolorations can even occur due to sun exposure or acne. Micropigmentation, or paramedical cosmetic tattooing, has the ability to break up scar tissue and color it to better match your natural skin tone.

The Whitney Center has achieved miraculous results on clients with hypo-pigmented scars, face lift surgery scars, sun damage scars, cancer surgery scars, and others. Many of Melany’s client’s have had seen their scars become completely undetectable. The Whitney Center is even called on by physicians at the New York Presbyterian Hospital of Cornell University and the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City to compliment their cosmetic and reconstructive surgery procedures.

The disappearance of scars can greatly increase a your confidence and improve their appearance. If you have a scar that has bothering for weeks, months, or even years, you owe it to yourself to schedule a consultation regarding micropigmentation.

Permanent makeup or cosmetics can be great for making eyes appear larger by way of permanent eyeliner, a use many women know of, but did you know that permanent makeup can be used for a great variety of other reasons?

Permanent Makeup for Lips:

Permanent makeup can be used to create a subtle contour to the lips and can even be used to add color to the lips to bring back their youthful glow or to give the youthful glow they might have never had.   

Permanent Makeup for Eyes:

Permanent makeup can not only enhance the eyes with eyeliner that lasts forever, but can also give you the perfectly shaped brows you’ve always hoped for…permanently!  You can also enhance the color of your eyelids with a light shadowy look, keeping you always looking polished and ready to go. 

Permanent Makeup for Skin:

Did you know permanent makeup can actually camouflage hypopigmented areas of the skin?  This makes it a great solution for disguising certain scars or spots due to vitiligo.  Permanent makeup can even help to restore the natural look of skin in the nipple or breast areola area after mastectomy. 

Permanent makeup or cosmetic tattooing has been improving the lives of women and men since the 1930’s.  Find out how permanent makeup can help to improve your life by contacting New Jersey and New York’s foremost expert on permanent makeup today!

In the beauty profession there are always horror stories floating around. The inexpert haircut that practically scalped the client. The Botox injections that turned a face into a frozen mask. The permanent makeup job that disfigured the client’s face. Recovery from a botched haircut is merely a matter of time. A bad Botox job will, hopefully, self-correct when the effects of the filler dissipate. But poorly done permanent makeup is forever.

People whose appearance has been damaged by an inadequately trained, inexperienced or artistically-inept permanent makeup technician turn to Melany Whitney in the hope that she will be able to undo the damage and make them feel beautiful again. To these people, Melany is a savior. Nationally known as “the voice of permanent makeup,” Melany has the well-honed technical skills, broad experience, and artistic talent to correct flaws made by others and create beauty.

An innovator in the field of paramedical tattooing, Melany regularly works with plastic surgeons to hide scars and improve the appearance of facial features. When Dr. Mehmet Oz offered to restore the looks of a woman tragically disfigured in a car accident, he called upon Melany to hide scars and redefine the woman’s facial features. In a post-treatment appearance on the Dr. Oz Show, the woman tearfully told Melany and the audience that it was the first time she had felt beautiful since the accident.

If you’re considering permanent makeup, place your face in the hands of someone you can trust to achieve the beautiful results you desire.


Hair loss isn’t something that happens only to men. While female hair loss doesn’t usually reach the “bullet head” stage, many women do experience varying degrees of hair loss as they age. You may have noticed women in their golden years whose hair is so thin that their scalp can be clearly seen through the wispy stands. Some women even develop a circular bald spot at their crown.

Called Androgenetic Alopecia, clinical pattern baldness can happen to men, women and even children. When they’re pregnant, quite a few women suffer thinning hair caused by hormonal changes. In many cases the hair regains its pre-pregnancy thickness but in some cases the hair loss is permanent.

Thinning hair and bald spots can be especially distressing to women because it is unexpected and unaccepted by society. Men may loathe losing their hair, but at least hair loss is anticipated as a normal part of male aging. That is not the case for women which makes the thinning of their hair that much more devastating. Women may feel tremendously embarrassed by their loss of hair, even freak-like.

Fortunately, there is a solution. Paramedical tattooing, the clinical application of permanent makeup, can give the appearance of hair where hair has been lost, making it look as if you have a full head of hair. By injecting medical-grade pigment into the dermal layers of the skin, a permanent makeup artist can create the illusion of individual hairs on the scalp, effectively camouflaging female hair loss.

It’s surprising what a difference in our appearance our eyebrows make. That arch of hair over each eye frames and defines our face. Perhaps our most expressive facial feature, we use our eyebrows to express delight, anger, surprise and thoughtfulness. Our eyebrows make us look human. Without eyebrows we look vaguely robotic and incomplete. 

Believed to be an autoimmune disorder, Alopecia Areata Universalis causes rapid loss of all facial and body hair. It can strike at any age, including early childhood, leaving alopecia sufferers feeling self-conscious and extremely uncomfortable about their appearance. Some sufferers of the disorder say the stares and rude comments of strangers can make them feel freakish about their appearance and reluctant to participate in social activities.

Many alopecia sufferers have found relief from their condition in paramedical tattooing. Using precision paramedical tattoo techniques, expert permanent makeup artists like Melany Whitney are able to create natural-looking permanent eyebrows where none existed. To help alopecia sufferers reclaim their natural beauty, Melany combines expert technical skill with her talent as a professional artist to tattoo individual eyebrow “hairs” above the eye sockets, creating perfectly-shaped eyebrows that look three-dimensional and completely natural.

Always the rebel, the Baby Boomer generation is being dragged kicking and screaming into their golden years — and they’re fighting back! Refusing to look older than they feel, active boomers are dying their hair, stepping up the pace at the gym, liposuctioning away stubborn fat, and rejuvenating their appearance with permanent cosmetics to retain a youthful look. While social stereotypes would make most people assume that women are at the root of this boom in anti-aging pursuits, they would be wrong. Men are leading the charge!

Staying competitive in a tight job market is the primary reason men give for rejuvenating their appearance, but late-life dating lurks in the background, unspoken but equally important to male boomers. In both the business and dating arenas, men are finding that a mature but more youthful appearance gives them back the competitive edge Mother Nature is stealing away.

In their battle against time, many men are discovering the benefits of permanent cosmetics for men.  With permanent cosmetics there is no invasive medical procedure like there is in cosmetic surgery; and results are immediate, unlike the long months of hard work required to achieve noticeable results from diet and exercise programs.

Permanent cosmetics for men can bring natural, youthful color back to pale, aging lips. It can thicken and darken thinning eyebrows. Permanent makeup for men can even camouflage hair loss. Click here to find out more about how permanent makeup for men can make you look as young as you feel.

Unsightly scars whittle away at a person’s self-esteem and self-confidence. Even small scars loom large if they are visible to others. But a scar doesn’t have to be readily visible to diminish a person’s enjoyment of life. Embarrassment about a scar can cause people to change the way they dress to keep their scar hidden from view. Some people avoid physical activities that might expose their scar. Other people are so cognizant of their scar that it interferes with their desire to socialize, potentially leading to unhealthy isolation. Worst of all, a scar can shake a person’s confidence in his or her appearance and make the individual feel ugly and repulsive.

It was embarrassment about an unsightly chest scar that lead one woman to seek permanent relief from permanent makeup artist Melany Whitney. One of the country’s most respected paramedical tattoo experts, Melany was able to camouflage the woman’s scar so completely that it seems to disappear before your eyes. To see for yourself, click here to watch the actual procedure on a recent Fox News health segment on scar camouflage.

An innovator in the field of paramedical tattooing, Melany combines expert technical skill with her training as a professional artist to camouflage scars from accidents and surgery. While not all scar tissue can be successfully repigmented, many scars are excellent candidates for paramedical tattooing. Precise color matching and meticulous technique allow Melany to banish unsightly scars forever, restoring the patient’s self-confidence and making them feel whole and beautiful again.

When Fox News decided to do a health segment on scar camouflage, they came to Melany Whitney, a recognized expert in the art of paramedical tattooing. The news segment tells the story of a woman who was embarrassed by an unsightly scar on her chest left after removal of basal cells. (Click here to watch the Fox News segment on scar camouflage.)

The scar was high enough on the breast bone to be visible if the woman wore a V-neck sweater or did not keep her blouse tightly buttoned. She confessed that she found the inevitable questions and remarks at the health club and at the pool during the summer to be uncomfortably intrusive and embarrassing. Rather than hiding the scar, makeup just seemed to call attention to it, left a telltale stain on clothing and, of course, was useless if exposed to sweat or water. With another summer looming, the woman was desperate to find a permanent solution that would end her feelings of humiliation and embarrassment.

Paramedical tattooing provided the permanent solution the woman had been looking for. Paramedical tattooing is a highly specialized application of permanent makeup in which medical-grade pigment is injected into the intradermal layers of the skin to change the color and appearance of the skin. When performed by an expert permanent makeup artist like Melany Whitney, the technique makes scars seem to disappear.
