Dana Reinke, Ambassador for Pink Perfect, Breast Cancer Survivor, Patient Advocacy


In 2015, I had a skin-sparing double mastectomy that not only removed two invasive breast cancer tumors but also removed both my nipples.

I had to wait 8 months to heal before trying have a surgical procedure to reconstruct nipples and then wait another 4 months after that surgery for areola tattoos.

No nipples for a year! Such a LONG process after my double mastectomy and losing a part of me that actually made me feel like a whole women! Unfortunately, the nipple reconstruction FAILED! It healed so well it flattened out or some would say collapsed and left me with no projection whatsoever. This happens because the skin is so thin after a double mastectomy. I still had the plastic surgeon tattoo areolas which made me feel a little bit better but I was still completely devastated.

I even ended up paying $500 to have 3-D nipple tattoos. Unfortunately, they were just “okay” because they didn’t give me the realistic look and projection. The tattoes also faded within months and I was left with this emptiness and a feeling of not being complete.

A very important part of me was still missing. Not having nipples impacted me deeply. My self-confidence was much lower and I was feeling undesirable. It was a deep painful wound.

I searched on the internet to look for others who have been through what I have been through. I stumbled upon Pink-perfect.com!

I found nipple Prosthetics that looked so realistic, natural, and super easy to use! I was in shock! I was so excited I couldn’t wait to order a pair. I remember being so happy but also feeling a bit frustrated that no one had explained to me or told me that there was such a product out there. This could have saved me from all my emotional pain these last 3 years. Suffering from insecurity, feeling unsexy and unexplainably feeling incomplete.

I didn’t want anyone to ever have to endure the heartache, pain, tears or devastation that I went through. Not knowing that there WAS a solution to help the quality of life after losing a precious part of you.

Therefore, I became an Ambassador for the beautiful Pink Perfect nipple prosthetics. I offer my personal assistance and a $25 off coupon code: gopinkperfect25 for any order at www.pink-perfect.com.
