Oncological Micropigmentation
Oncological micropigmentation does not eradicate the disease, but it helps to soften its effects by camouflaging, reconstructing, recreating, and enhancing the affected areas.
At Omicroart, we specialize in areola micropigmentation, eyebrow restoration, and lash enhancement.
Areola and Nipple Micropigmentation
3D Reconstruction of the Areola-Nipple
Through a meticulous semi-permanent makeup procedure, we reconstruct the areola-nipple complex in 3D. We use a dermograph to carefully insert the selected pigment, considering design, appropriate colors, and the effects of light and shadow. This process begins with the careful selection of these elements to achieve a natural and realistic outcome.
Realistic Reconstruction of the Areola-Nipple Complex
Our goal is to replicate with precision the color and shape of the areola, as well as the projection of the nipple. Through micropigmentation techniques, we even achieve recreating details such as Montgomery glands, nipple folds, and small capillaries. The result is an astonishingly realistic appearance, achieving a convincing and natural finish.
Helps restore the areola of the breast for women who have lost it after breast mastectomy.
Bilateral Oncological Breast Reconstruction (both breasts) and Areola Tattoo
There are different types of oncological mastectomy (breast removal), and various types of breast reconstructive surgery. It can involve one or both breasts, using breast implants or by transferring tissue from other parts of the body, such as the abdomen or buttocks.
At Omicroart, we specialize in recreating the areola in a natural and realistic manner in all cases.
It is important to note that this is an alternative and quick solution for optically reconstructing and recovering the areolas effectively, durably, definitively, and, most importantly, without pain.
Through 3D Areola Micropigmentation, we enable patients to regain the symbol of their femininity, the areola-nipple complex.
Our areola micropigmentation technique is a painless and non-invasive procedure. Designed with the utmost care, this treatment does not cause inflammation or damage to the skin, ensuring a safe and comfortable process for all our patients.
Clinical Case
Correction of Breast Asymmetry Through Optical Effect
In cases where there is a significant difference between both breasts, the goal is not to “physically equalize” them, but to balance how they are perceived.
Before starting, we analyze:
- Skin quality
- Nipple projection
- Type of scar
- Volume differences
BEFORE
AFTER
Simply put:
we play with light and shadow so the eye perceives balance, even if perfect symmetry does not exist.
Darker tones create a sense of volume.
Softer tones reduce it.
The result is a more harmonious overall perception.
And that completely changes how the patient sees herself.
Unilateral or Simple Oncological Breast Reconstruction and Areola Tattoo for One Breast
In cases of mastectomy of one breast, it is very important to match the shape, color, and location of the tattooed areola with the healthy (contralateral) areola.
Between two and a maximum of three sessions will be necessary to achieve total symmetry with the healthy areola.
At Omicroart, we always show the results of the treatments once healed, as during the physiological healing process, the hue of the colors varies depending on several variables (undertone and skin quality, genetics, care, etc).
Micropigmentation and realistic areola tattooing is an effective technique not only for the reconstruction of the areola and nipple after a mastectomy but also for disguising scars on the breasts.
There is a higher percentage of cases of mastectomy of one breast, and in most, surgeons must perform breast lifting or reduction surgery on the healthy breast. Therefore, to achieve symmetry in height, size, and shape with the reconstructed mastectomized breast, scars occur.
By using pigments similar to the skin tone and applying them with micro-needles, a semi-permanent makeup effect is achieved in the affected areas. This procedure helps to even out the skin tone and reduces the visibility, thickness, and extent of scars, providing a more uniform and natural appearance to the entire area.
Our areola micropigmentation technique is a painless and non-invasive procedure. Carefully designed, this treatment does not cause inflammation or damage the skin, ensuring a safe and comfortable experience for all our patients.
Clinical Case
Areola Reconstruction in Unilateral Mastectomy with Color Adjustment in the Healthy Breast
In cases of unilateral mastectomy, one of the biggest challenges arises when the areola of the healthy breast is very light.
If not addressed, matching the color in the reconstructed areola may appear artificial or poorly integrated.
For this reason, in some cases, the best decision is not only to reconstruct…
but to balance both.
Before starting, we assess:
- The tone of the healthy areola
- Skin response
- The desired long-term result
From there, we apply a subtle color adjustment to the natural areola.
Very subtle.
Highly controlled.
Before starting, we analyze:
-
We facilitate the reconstruction of the new areola
- We avoid artificial contrast
-
We achieve a more harmonious result
BEFORE
AFTER
The goal is not to modify it, but to bring it closer to the ideal tone so that both are perceived as equal.
The final result is not based on copying one areola.
It is based on both being perceived as part of the same whole.
The result is a more harmonious overall perception.
And that completely changes how the patient sees herself.
Clinical Case
Areola Reconstruction and Hyperpigmented Scar Camouflage
In this case, in addition to reconstructing the areola with a hyper-realistic effect, we worked on a hyperpigmented (darker than normal) scar.
The objective was twofold:
- To visually lighten the scar
- To enhance the realism of the areola
To achieve this, we combined:
- Micropigmentation techniques
- Skin regeneration techniques
BEFORE
AFTER
This allowed us to soften the tone of the scar and improve its integration with the surrounding skin.
By reducing contrast, the reconstructed areola gains prominence and naturalness.
These types of results are only possible with real expertise in scar camouflage and advanced pigmentology.
Reconstruction of Eyebrows and Eyelashes with Micropigmentation
At Omicroart, we specialize in restoring the original appearance of eyebrows in situations of total or partial hair loss. This is achieved through a meticulous process of microblading, recreating their density through the application of subtle shading.
It’s important to note that, in cases of oncology patients, microblading treatment is contraindicated due to its aggressiveness on sensitive, thin, and radiation-exposed skin. In these circumstances, we recommend only micropigmentation as it is the most clinically appropriate treatment.
Additionally, we offer micropigmentation services to subtly define the area of both upper and lower eyelashes, visually recreating an appearance of fuller, denser, and darker lashes.
When is the ideal time to start eyebrow micropigmentation treatment?
We recommend starting eyebrow micropigmentation for oncological patients shortly after the cancer diagnosis, before hair loss and beginning chemotherapy treatment. This way, we maintain exactly the same shape you had before the hair loss. And we also ensure better healing results.
We always take into account each client’s individual needs and facial features to ensure a natural and harmonious result.
Oncological Micropigmentation in Oral Cancer: Restoring a Natural Appearance
After reconstructive surgery, it is common for scars, color changes, or loss of definition in the lips and chin to remain. And it is not only aesthetic.
It changes how you see yourself.
Hyper-realistic oncological micropigmentation allows for the optical reconstruction of the oral area in a non-invasive and painless way.
This is not about makeup.
It is about restoring shape, color, and balance to the mouth, always respecting the skin.
Cómo trabajamos la micropigmentación oncológica en la boca
At Omicroart, we study each case to understand:
- Skin condition
- Scarring
- Areas that have lost shape or color
From there, we design a personalized treatment for lips, chin, and visible areas.
We work with color the way skin does: without harsh lines, using soft transitions that create depth and naturalness.
This allows us to:
- Soften scars
- Redefine lip contours
- Visually restore volume
- Bring expression back to the face
Natural Results: When the Scar Stops Being the Focus
Through the precise use of color and undertones, we shift the focus away from the scar.
The overall appearance becomes more harmonious and balanced.
We do not aim for artificial perfection.
We aim for naturalness.

Safe and Personalized Care
Before starting, we carry out a full assessment to define what can be achieved in your case.
We work with techniques and pigments adapted to medically treated skin, always prioritizing safety and natural-looking results.
Frequently asked questions
When is the ideal time to start areola micropigmentation treatment?
The ideal time to start this treatment is between 6 months and a year after the breast reconstruction performed by the surgeon.
Is areola tattooing treatment safe?
Oncological micropigmentation is safe when performed by an experienced professional using high-quality pigments. This procedure, carried out with the utmost care and with pigments approved by the AEMPS (Spanish Agency for Medicines and Health Products), offers a high level of safety.
What care should I take after an areola tattoo?
Patients who undergo oncological micropigmentation must follow specific post-treatment care instructions. The decision to undergo this treatment before or after cancer treatment is a personal choice that is discussed and respected in each case.
Here are some instructions patients should follow after the procedure:
- Remove the dressing applied by the technician 48 hours after the session.
- Apply a special ointment for a week.
- Avoid exercise for the next 7 days.
- Once the dressing is removed, apply a small amount of specific healing cream 2-3 times a day, or as needed.
- Do not scrape, rub or remove the crust.
- Keep the area clean, dry, and moisturized. Avoid sweat, excess water, saunas, pools, or the beach.
How long does areola micropigmentation last?
Generally, micropigmentation can last between 3 to 6 years, but its duration depends on factors such as:
- Skin quality
- Phototype
- Genetics
- Immune system
- Aftercare and protection against UV rays
Here are some instructions patients should follow after the procedure:
- Remove the dressing applied by the technician 48 hours after the session.
- Apply a special ointment for a week.
- Avoid exercise for the next 7 days.
- Once the dressing is removed, apply a small amount of specific healing cream 2-3 times a day, or as needed.
- Do not scratch, rub, or peel off the scab.
- Keep the area clean, dry, and moisturized. Avoid sweat, excessive water, saunas, pools, or the beach.
It is crucial to avoid sun exposure, immersion in water, and the use of makeup not recommended by the doctor.
Similar to how clothes lose color with washing and sun exposure, micropigmentation can fade over time, depending on various factors.
