Impact of Nipple Micropigmentation in Mastectomized Women

This will be a multicenter prospective descriptive case series study following a cohort. The micropigmentation/tattoo procedure will be carried out following the protocol established in each center (see annex x). The present investigation only involves measuring the impact that this technique has on the patients by collecting data in digital format before and after the CAP micropigmentation/tattoo that motivated their visit to the clinical service. CAP micropigmentation/tattooing is usually performed between 6 and 12 months after the breast reconstructive surgery has been completed, sufficient time for healing to complete and the breast to stabilize, although it can be performed from 2 months after the intervention. Nurses are responsible for performing micropigmentation/tattooing of the areola and nipple in mastectomized women.
