“Half my worry was the tattoo. The surgeon hid the scar in the linework — you can't find it.”
Heavily tattooed, with the gland distorting the artwork on his chest. Surgeon planned the incision to sit inside the existing design. Six months out the tattoo reads clean again.
What happened
Peri-areolar excision routed inside existing tattoo lines. No lipo needed. Tattoo realigned as swelling resolved.
