Project MTFM: Medical Tattooing Following Mastectomy

About the Study

The University of Central Florida researchers invite people diagnosed with breast cancer to take this survey to share their thoughts about how breast cancer surgery can impact mental health and wellness. The researchers will also explore how breast cancer survivors view breast cancer surgery and medical tattooing following. Participation includes an optional information session and consultation with a medical tattoo artist. This study aims to provide further evidence to indicate medical tattooing as a cosmetic intervention following mastectomy. 

This study is no longer enrolling people.

What the Study Involves

When you participate in this survey:

• You will view images of survivors' breasts before and after receiving a mastectomy with and without cosmetic intervention. 
• You will provide your personal attitudes toward the different cosmetic interventions.
• You may be eligible to participate in an informational session and consultation with a medical tattoo artist.
