The Breast Unit of the Vinalopó University Hospital, managed by the Ribera healthcare group, has begun to perform 3D tattoos of the areola-nipple complex to patients with breast cancer, thus becoming the first center in the province of Alicante, he said in a statement. To do this, he uses the traditional tattoo technique, giving the area to be treated a 3D appearance. The procedure is performed in consultation and it only lasts 30 minutes, it is painless, semi-permanent (It requires much less rework than micropigmentation) and gives patients a very real result. The health center has been working in the fight against cancer for years.
Tattoo care is the same as any other that a patient performs on their body: it must be covered for the first 24 hours, regular skin washing and hydration. “Thanks to the incorporation of this technique into our portfolio of services, patients regain their appearance prior to surgery, helping to improve their self-esteem and confidence,” explains Dr. Lorenzo Rabadán, surgical coordinator of the breast area of the Ribera health group. Dr. Rabadán adds that with the nipple tattoo “breast reconstruction ends.” The testimonies of the patients attest to the good results of this technique and the comprehensive care provided by the Breast Area in the different Ribera hospitals. Women feel like they can pass the stage.
