Breast Cancer Awareness Month is an important opportunity to talk about prevention, early diagnosis and treatment. However, a woman’s journey does not end when treatment is completed.
After a mastectomy, recovery can also involve adapting to changes in the body. For some women, areola reconstruction after mastectomy can be an important part of the journey following breast cancer surgery.
The Journey After Mastectomy
The journey after breast cancer can involve different stages, and every woman experiences this period differently.
After surgery, some women choose to complete their journey with areola reconstruction. This procedure can help create a more balanced and natural-looking appearance in the treated area.
The decision always depends on each woman’s individual situation. For this reason, it is important to discuss the available options with the healthcare professionals involved in her care.
Areola Reconstruction through medical tattooing
Medical dermopigmentation, also known as medical tattooing, can help recreate the visual appearance of the areola.
During the procedure, the medical professional uses pigments specifically intended for medical use. The aim is to reproduce the colour and appearance of the areola. Some techniques can also create a three-dimensional effect, helping achieve a more natural-looking result.
Areola medical tattooing requires specific training, technical knowledge and appropriate preparation.

Omnia
The quality of a treatment depends on several factors, including the professional’s training, the technique, the pigments and the device used.
At Campomats, we are proud to contribute to an important part of the recovery journey with OMNIA, a medical device designed for medical tattooing in hospital settings and to support healthcare professionals in areola reconstruction after mastectomy.
Through precision and control, the treatment can help recreate a natural and harmonious appearance of the areola. However, its value can go beyond the aesthetic result. Becoming familiar with one’s body again can also be an important part of a woman’s recovery journey after breast cancer treatment.
During Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we want to highlight the importance of every stage of the journey: from prevention and early diagnosis to treatment and recovery.
