In this month’s Let’s Talk with Mel podcast we hear about a wonderful partnership project which is offering a transformative procedure for breast cancer survivors who have had mastectomy surgery.
The Nipple Innovation Project (known as NiP) charity has partnered with Bradford Teaching Hospital to bring its expertise to patients, offering realistic 3D nipple tattoos to those eligible.
The tattoos restore the appearance of the nipple and areola, promoting a sense of wholeness, body confidence and emotional wellbeing. It is carried out after the breast has had time to heal and is permanent.
Mel chats to founder and chief executive officer of NiP, Lucy Thompson and breast cancer surgeon and multi-disciplinary team lead, Cathy Tait about the difference this new service is making to women who have had surgery at Bradford.
