Is areola repigmentation tattoo the correct treatment for me? (Photo)

Asked By:Glorious30869 in Krung Thep Maha Nakhon, Thailand
I had chest reconstruction surgery to remove loose skin, my right nipple/areola got covered in black stuff like gunk, and this is what my areola looks like now. I've heard of areola repigmentation, was wondering if this is the correct treatment? Also, how do I find doctors near me who will help me? I live in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
