“…This study obtains similar results to other relevant studies carried out in patients with similar ages and using the same procedure, so it can be concluded that the NAC micropigmentation technique is a simple and safe technique, with few complications, being satisfactorily valued by the patients as the expected result can be visualised using photomontage techniques, with nursing professionals trained in micropigmentation being the ideal ones to carry it out [21][22][23]25,26]. It is important to mention that most of the studies on NAC reconstruction are carried out through surgical techniques and there are scarce studies on alternative techniques such as micropigmentation or on other techniques that can be performed on women who reject the surgical technique [27,28].…”

This study aimed to investigate the impact of the establishment of a nursing practice for micropigmentation of the nipple-areola complex at the San Cecilio University Hospital in Granada on women who have undergone unilateral or bilateral mastectomies. Micropigmentation is a procedure for decorating the human body by implanting pigments and dyes at the sub-epidermal level for a temporary duration of several months or years. Methodology: Retrospective descriptive study conducted in the micropigmentation clinic of HUSC-Granada (Spain). The sample consisted of 167 patients: 24 declined the treatment, 3 had second thoughts and cancelled the appointment, and 135 were accepted. Results: The mean age of the women was 53 years (range:35–75 years). Of the patients, 64.1% came from San Cecilio University Hospital in Granada, the rest from Virgen de las Nieves Hospital in Granada (19.6 %), hospitals in the province of Almería (7.2 %), and private hospitals and clinics (9.2 %). In the last two years, 36.4 % of the women had undergone surgery in the last 2 years. Complications arising from this technique are almost nonexistent. Conclusions: A very high number of women accepted the technique, with the highest proportion being those under 48 years of age. It is a technique that has not presented complications; therefore, it would be interesting to study how the application of the technique would affect women's self-esteem and quality of life

“…Patients have reported high levels of satisfaction following nipple-areola complex (NAC) reconstruction, with the majority happy to recommend it to others. 3 It is often seen as the final step in what will have been an arduous journey for the patient. The importance of this type of reconstruction in a patient's emotional wellbeing cannot be overstated.…”

In this guide, we discuss a technique that allows nipple tattooing to be done at the time of the patient’s nipple reconstruction surgery, using simple equipment available in most hospitals, without the need for a specialist tattoo machine. This simple technique reconstructs the full NAC aesthetic unit, giving a more immediate result compared to the traditional two-stage process. By allowing this step to be completed at the time of their reconstruction, one could propose their satisfaction is accelerated, and allows their treatment journey to come to an end sooner.
