Hi there, just wondering how long after a BA with periareolar incision can I tattoo a design on both my nipples?
Answer: Tattooing Over Scar Tattooing over any type of scar can be carried out as soon as 3 to 6 months. Scars initially get the thickest and the strongest at three months and then begin to change back to normal skin over the next 9 to 12 months.

Answer: Breast Augmentation proper healing Thank you for your question. After a breast augmentation with a periareolar incision, it's essential to allow proper healing before considering any tattoos on the nipple area. Typically, you should wait at least 6 months to a year post-surgery to ensure the scars have matured and there's no residual inflammation. Tattoos can potentially cause complications or interfere with healing if done prematurely. Always consult with your plastic surgeon before making a decision.

Answer: Tattoo It takes a year for your scars to mature. Your surgeon will be the best one to advise when it is okay for you to proceed with tattooing the area based on how you are progressing through recovery. Keep in mind that the areola may change in appearance depending on the implant size you select.

Answer: Tattoo I would wait at least 4 months to decrease the risk of infection of your implants. Tattoos on your nipples are still not a good idea since nipples always carry bacteria. I would recommend no tattoo in that area.
