Summary

This study is testing a medical ink called BIOCHROMADERM® to help people who have had a mastectomy (breast removal surgery) get a more natural-looking nipple and areola. About 115 adults will receive the ink treatment, and researchers will check how well it works and how safe it is over 12 months. The goal is to improve appearance and boost patients' confidence and satisfaction.
