- Reducing visible
scars by matching the pigment of the scar to that of the
surrounding skin. This procedure is effective on scars that
are lighter in color than the surrounding skin. Some post-surgical
scars can also be concealed in this manner.
- Blending stable
areas of hypopigmentation with the surrounding skin. This
procedure restores natural-looking pigmentation to areas that
are permanently depigmented and not treatable by medical means.
- Repigmenting
areolas after breast reconstruction. When the nipple and
areola have not been reconstructed, a realistic likeness can
be created through skillful artistic tattooing.
- Camouflaging
scars around the areola after breast enlargement or reduction
surgery to create the most natural look possible.
- Redefining
the lip line after trauma or surgery and restoring natural-looking
color to the lip area. This procedure is effective for men
as well as women.
- Creating the
illusion of hair in the eyebrow or hairline after surgery
or trauma.
There are many
other situations where skin repigmentation has been altered,
or lost altogether, that careful repigmentation can significantly
improve. I see most of my clients through referrals from dermatologists,
plastic and reconstructive surgeons, and through other clients.
