At The De Peyer Clinic, we offer specialist medical tattooing for nipple and areola reconstruction, providing a compassionate, restorative solution for individuals following breast surgery, mastectomy, or gender-affirming procedures.
"Using advanced micropigmentation techniques, we recreate the natural appearance of the nipple and areola, helping you feel whole again."
Expert Areola Restoration
We use medical-grade pigments and advanced shading techniques to recreate lifelike results tailored to your unique anatomy and aesthetic goals.
What is Medical Tattooing?
Also known as areola micropigmentation, this is a form of medical-grade tattooing designed to simulate the look of a natural nipple and areola. Whether creating a realistic 3D effect or blending colour after surgery, this highly specialised treatment enhances both appearance and emotional wellbeing.
Who is this treatment suitable for?
Post-mastectomy
Restoring the areola and nipple complex following breast cancer surgery.
Breast Augmentation
Correcting scarring or asymmetry after cosmetic breast procedures.
Gender-affirming
Creating masculine or feminine nipple aesthetics for top surgery patients.
Pigmentation Loss
Repigmenting areolas that have faded due to vitiligo or natural aging.

Stage 1: Initial assessment of the treatment area prior to pigmentation.
Stage 2: Expert mapping and symmetry planning to ensure a natural placement.
