Forum: dermopigmentation or medical tattooing. Dermography in cancerology. Apropos of 220 clinical cases]

Based on a series of 220 cases of reconstruction (63 cases) or correction (67 cases) of the nipple-areolar complex and various extramammary procedures (tattoo scar revision, lips, eyebrows, eyelashes) (90 cases), the authors present their 2-year experience of medical dermography in a cancer centre. Dermography allows breast reconstruction to be completed in a large number of patients who had initially refused to complete their reconstruction. This minimally aggressive outpatient technique which reconstitutes the areolo-nipple complex with sufficient quality, is now part of reconstruction protocols and is gradually replacing surgical techniques.
