Post Mastectomy and Restorative Tattooing
Restorative and cosmetic tattooing for positive results that change lives.
“My goal is to provide clients with the best possible esthetic outcome to increase confidence and enhance their quality of life.
About
In August 2013, Marnie had a double mastectomy and reconstructive surgeries, which inspired her to help others through medical tattooing. Marnie trained with several leading artists including Mandy Sauler, Stacie Rae and Valerie Weber. She works diligently to provide beautiful, detailed tattoos for her clients and works with all skin types and conditions from scarring and necrosis to eczema. Marnie is a member of the Society for Permanent Cosmetic Professionals, and double board certified by the American Academy of Micropigmentation and the Certified Permanent Cosmetic Professionals. Marnie’s services include 3D areola restorative tattooing, scar camouflage, collagen induction therapy (micro-needling) and scalp micro-pigmentation. She is referred by several physicians in the tri state area who travel to her private office suite at NYBRA Plastic Surgery in Great Neck, New York. Marnie occasionally travels to West Virginia to serve clients in her home town community.

You will be given a comprehensive after care sheet to take home following your procedure.
It is important to recognize the characteristics of the skin for the most realistic outcome. With the right blend of colors, we can create realistic looking 3D nipples and areolae and will make your scars less noticeable. Scar camouflage pigments are selected to closely match the surrounding skin and then carefully tattooed to blend with it. The result is a natural skin like appearance.
- Taking before pictures will help you to remember your areola size and shape.
- Consider that the skin on your new breasts might not be the same, especially if you have had radiation or Flap procedures and may affect how your skin holds pigmentation.
- Schedule your appointment. Four to six months following surgery is usually the minimum wait time to ensure you are properly healed prior to your procedure.
We do require that you get clearance from your doctor before prior to treatment.
