Unique tattoo helps breast cancer survivors feel complete again

Unique tattoo helps breast cancer survivors feel complete again

Every year, nearly 250,000 women find out the heartbreaking news that they have been diagnosed with breast cancer.For the 1 in 8 women the American Cancer Society says are living day-to-day with breast cancer, there are many options for treatment, including removing the breasts and reconstructing them.The journey to recovery can be a long and painful one that isn't often finished with surgery.Now, a unique cosmetic tattoo treatment is helping to make survivors feel complete again.Medical micropigmentologist Sherah Juarez uses a special technique to tattoo natural-looking areolas onto breast cancer survivors who have opted out of surgically recreating a nipple."I use multiple different size needles, different colors, some highlights and shading that gives the optical illusion of protrusion," said Juarez."We also do some art work in there, which creates Montgomery glands, so it's really life-like.
