Can I get breast lift and implants if I have a nipple tattoo? (photo)

Your photo is not the best with being partially covered and slanted, but a lift can be done. You might still have some tattoo left, but a tattoo artist could add to it later if you wanted. The surgeon doing the procedure will focus on giving a nice lift and shape, instead of preserving your tattoo.

The lift may disrupt the tattoo. You can always have the tattoo revised if needed. It may not be possible to completely remove the tattoo.

Hello, thank you for your question. It is a common one and we have performed numerous surgeries on patients with tattoos on their chest. We try our best to remove the tattoo in completion however it maybe difficult in your case to remove that much skin in order to remove the tattoo. The better option would be to perform the lift taking out enough skin to tighten the pocket and to not compromise the blood supply or cause for wound healing concerns. If there is still a portion of the tattoo remaining then you can decide to either do a cover tattoo or laser tattoo removal but this would have to wait until after the incision is completely healed.
