BUD IN THE NIP

Bud in the Nip, is a dedicated non profit initiative of Dermakraft- Integral Micropigmentation Co, India, offering subsidized yet high quality non-surgical Nipple areola complex restoration to breast cancer survivors... The nipple areola complex (NAC) has great symbolic significance for women. Many of the patients with loss of the nipple and areola from cancer excision continue to experience psychological distress even after breast mound reconstruction has been done. Various researches have shown that reconstructing the NAC has a positive influence on the recovery process from the damages to both physical and mental health inherent to breast cancer treatment. Although various surgical techniques are available for the reconstruction of both the nipple and the areola, the final color of the NAC is rarely close to that of the contralateral breast. Micropigmentation of NAC is a safe, fast procedure with low morbidity and good results of breast reconstruction.
