I had a young woman come in yesterday who had had implants when she was quite young because she was totally flat chested. She didn't like the implants so she had them taken out. She then had fat implants from her body from an amazing doctor in New York and she looks 100% natural. (This doc in NY is a true sculptor) So...she comes to me because she has scars on her areolae from the first surgery. Some of the scar is in the areolae and some is outside. To make them really even, she wants some of the areola color flesh toned and most of the scar areola colored. I agree that that would be optimum if it could be done. She has invested a lot so far and I want to make sure I can give her something better than she has, but I'm not sure about covering the dark color with light. It's hard to describe without seeing it, obviously, but any input from people who have had experience with this would be greatly appreciated!

Can you make the areola slightly bigger to incorporate the scar and darken the whole outer perimeter shading it slightly inward. I may not be picturing it right. Can you explain where exactly is the scar?

I think there are better remedies for darkly pigmented scars than tattooing with skin toned camo colors. She should first try to get them lightened.

I can make the areola slightly bigger, but if I cover it all, it will be too big. Part of the scar is inside the skin, part clearly on the areola, and part of it separates the edge of the areola. The parts that are separated from the edge push it out too far because of the white scarring. It's quite sloppy. Her scars are not darkly pigmented. I took some good pictures, but don't want to post them here, of course. Does that make any better sense?

Well I was referencing this statement...."but I'm not sure about covering the dark color with light". So typically the best results are tattooing skin tone pigment colors over light/white scars and poor results by trying to cover a scar color that is darker than the natural skin tone.

Maggie, I was talking about the trace of the edge of the areola color that was "split-off" from the rest because of the scar and if it would or would not be advisable to lighten that slightly.
