Post-cancer reconstruction
The last stage of the journey — the one that no longer treats, but repairs. Giving back an areola, a nipple, a complete silhouette, and finding again in the mirror what had stopped being there.
You arrive here after a long road. There is no rush: we take the time it takes, we talk before we do anything, and you stay in charge of every step — including the step of saying no, or not yet.
Reconstruction after surgery
Areola and nipple with a 3D effect
After a mastectomy or reconstructive breast surgery, pigmentation recreates the natural appearance of the areola and nipple through a trompe-l'œil technique. Depth is suggested by the play of light and shadow, using a wide range of dedicated colours chosen for your skin tone.
There is no incision and no graft: the pigment alone does the work. The result gives the reconstructed breast back its complete silhouette — the one you find again in the mirror, and had stopped seeing there.
The session takes place in a medical setting, after a confidential conversation about what you have been through and the result you want.
Step by step
Four steps, at your pace and no one else’s
01
A caring consultation
Time to listen, without a white coat or a clock, to understand where you have come from and what you want from this final step. Nothing is decided that day if you are not ready.
02
Choosing the shades
The shade is mixed in front of you, tone on tone with your skin and, where there is one, with the areola of the other breast. You are the one who approves it, not me.

Personal follow-up
Gentle support at every stage; any touch-ups are planned with you and quoted separately.
