Looking Good

Permanent Makeup Helping Breast Cancer Patients

By Cheryl Lohman

As I write this issue's column, it’s still the end of summer and we are headed toward the start of fall. My favorite time of year. September is my birthday month and I love the harvest time for all the beautiful flowers, fruits and vegetables. I also love that warm-cool weather. Then coming in October there is Breast Cancer Awareness month. You may think it’s odd that I look forward to October… but I do because I like helping people and this is one way that I can assist cancer patients.

Many people don’t know that Permanent Makeup can help breast cancer patients regain confidence and feel better about themselves at the end of their treatments.

Permanent Makeup is also known as micro-pigmentation, cosmetic or paramedical tattoo. This skill is used to recolor the areola and nipple area after breast reconstruction at the end their medical treatments. We attempt to match the color and size of the existing areola if it was a single mastectomy. With a double mastectomy, we can design the areola color and placement to what the patient desires. Scars from the surgery can also be treated using camouflaging techniques.

Areola Repigmentation is covered by insurance because it is considered part of the medical treatments. Topical anesthetics are used and patients are very comfortable.

The results are amazing with a 3D look. It looks so realistic

you would never know they are a paramedical tattoo. After Areola Repigmentation, many patients share that they feel whole again, feel better about themselves and have more confidence. What a great end to an intense journey!

If you’d like to explore the possibility of permanent makeup, it is essential to have a consultation with a highly trained and qualified artist. Now more than ever it’s important to look for an artist who will keep you safe. This is not a service you want to

bargain shop for and you will want to see actual photos of their work.

Today, most professional permanent cosmetic artists are members of the world's leading, not-for-profit society devoted to this field, the Society of Permanent Cosmetic Professionals (SPCP). This organization sets standards of practice for its members, which assures the public of the highest levels of professionalism and safety. After permanent makeup — you’ll be among those who enjoy a natural look that lasts a long time.
