You are incredibly strong. You are a breast cancer survivor! But there are days when you may not feel like you can look beyond your current treatment status. Ruth Swissa, a leading expert in areola micropigmentation and scar camouflage, encourages you to actively take part in your post-treatment recovery.
Building Your Care Network During and After Cancer Treatment
Whether you are just starting your journey toward beating breast cancer or are looking forward to post-treatment recovery, it can be lonely and frightening. Now is the time to lean on your spouse, friends, care team, and other professionals in the Beverly Hills area who are committed to your survival.
From a nutritionist to a talented hair stylist, you may discover surprising options that help you maintain your quality of life while keeping your treatment on track. Embrace suggestions offered by other patients, your oncologist, and your neighbors.
Rediscovering Your Personal Power
Whether you received a lumpectomy or double mastectomy, your body has been changed by this disease. While working with your medical team is crucial, sometimes considering cosmetic solutions is also a vital part of your healing.
The woman that looks back at you in the mirror looks tired, pale, and thin. Even if you have never used makeup or hair coloring, a day spent with a supportive cosmetologist can provide the knowledge and tools you need to once again face the world with a smile.
What can you do to find your confidence while looking at your scarred breasts?
Micropigmentation Tattoos Support Breast Cancer Survivors
For patients whose areolas have been damaged by surgery and radiation treatments, a talented certified medical cosmetologist can create a micropigmentation tattoo able to minimize the visible damage. This procedure uses a customized palette of skin tones that match your natural coloring to help hide the look of scars.
The tattoo is applied when your body has completely recovered from your treatment. Once it heals, you will no longer have to stare at a physical reminder of the most stressful time of your life. This can be the moment when you can truly start planning for the future again.
Working with a Trusted Professional for Beautiful Results
Certified medical areola micropigmentation is not a procedure done by most tattoo artists. Tiny needles and a wide palette of multiple hues are used to create subtle variations that look like your natural skin. Scar camouflage takes time, patience, and the eye of a true artist to effect a nearly seamless look.
Like the rest of your survival team, selecting the right person to complete this procedure is crucial to its success and your future happiness.
A New and Temporary Solution
Ruth Swissa has created a realistic 3D areola tattoo designed for those who do not desire permanent make-up just yet. It is a temporary, yet realistic areola tattoo that is a safe, quick, and inexpensive option.
Ruth Swissa is a Cedar-Sinai Medical Group network provider in Los Angeles and works extensively with the oncological department and breast cancer survivors performing areola micropigmentation for the hospital’s breast cancer unit. Sometimes, the best choice is the one found in your backyard.
