Restoration after the operation.
Camouflage for tummy tuck, breast surgery, C-section, mastectomy, and other surgical scars, once your skin has fully healed and is ready to receive pigment.
For surgical scars 12+ months post-op
Surgery saves lives and reshapes futures, but it leaves visible reminders behind. Once your scar has matured (typically 12 months or more after surgery), paramedical tattoo can soften the contrast between the scar tissue and your surrounding skin. Common surgeries we work with include tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), breast augmentation/reduction/lift, C-section, mastectomy, top surgery, and orthopedic surgical scars.
- Tummy tuck / abdominoplasty
- Breast surgery (aug, reduction, lift, mastectomy)
- C-section scars
- Top surgery & gender-affirming scars
- Orthopedic surgical scars
Good candidates
Surgical scars must be fully healed and matured, at least 12 months post-op, with full clearance from your surgeon if you're unsure. The scar should be flat or close to flat, lighter than the surrounding skin, and stable.
A good fit if…
- 12+ months post-op
- Surgeon-cleared healing
- Flat or near-flat scar
- Lighter than surrounding skin
Let's pause if…
- Less than 12 months post-op
- Raised, keloid, or hypertrophic scarring
- Active treatment of the scar
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
