Ruth Swissa's Micropigmentation Procedure Helps Breast Cancer Survivors Regain Self-Esteem & Confidence!
Agoura Hills, CA – According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), it is estimated that in 2009 there were 192,370 new cases of invasive breast cancer diagnosed among women, and approximately 1,910 new cases in men. For the many men and women who have been, and will be diagnosed this year, the battle to get through treatment and surgery is only the beginning of the journey to survive. Although the feeling of survival is unsurpassed, the physical scars at times may leave some survivors anxious with their new appearance. Ruth Swissa has taken her passion and artistic expertise in the permanent make-up industry to provide areola pigmentation for breast cancer patients post reconstruction to help renew self-confidence and boost self esteem.
"Many of my patients have said that waking up every morning, and looking in the mirror is a constant reminder of their battle, which although comes with a sense of pride, it also at times causes insecurities because they don't feel like themselves," says Ruth Swissa.
Micropigmentation is an alternative method of creating a realistic nipple and areola after a mastectomy, to achieve a more symmetrical shape and even coloring using artistic light and shade effects. Ruth Swissa works closely with her patients in order to achieve the desired coloring and size to create a natural-looking effect. This procedure takes less than an hour and is usually painless.
Ruth uses a customized medical tattooing technique for applying permanent make-up for areola pigmentation. This unique method proves to be more exact, very gentle and less invasive than traditional cosmetic tattooing. The results look more natural and subtle in appearance.
