Asked By:family4me in AZ

I have a tattoo on my breast that I wt removed. However being that I’m 4 months w my breast augmentation they want to use a Microneedling to remove my tattoo next to my nipple but not close to the sutures at all, is this OK? I figured it would be nice because I’m still numb all around there and the needle does not penetrate deep. Also I had the implants under the muscle. Is this safe?
