We Apologize...

Healing Time:

• The body requires ample time to heal after surgery. Tattooing over surgical areas too soon can interfere with the healing process and lead to complications.

• Performing tattooing before tissues are fully healed can cause additional trauma or disrupt surgical scars.

Scar Maturation:

• Scars need time to mature and settle before any paramedical tattooing can be performed. Typically, scars are still forming and changing within the first six months post-surgery.

• Tattooing prematurely can lead to unpredictable pigment absorption and unsatisfactory results.

Risk of Infection:

• Tattooing on a recently operated area increases the risk of infection, which can compromise both the surgical outcome and overall health.

Swelling and Tissue Changes:

• Post-surgical swelling and changes in breast tissue positioning can occur for several months. Waiting ensures the final shape and size of the breast area is stable, ensuring accurate tattoo placement.

Medical Clearance Requirement:

• Physicians often advise waiting until full clearance is given to avoid complications related to healing tissue or any ongoing treatments (e.g., chemotherapy, radiation).

Psychological Readiness:

• Emotional and psychological recovery after a mastectomy is significant. Patients need time to process the changes and prepare emotionally for the restorative tattooing process.
