Quality of Life After Breast Enlargement With Implants Versus Augmentation Mastopexy: A Comparative Study.

Abstract:

Background:Research regarding quality of life (QoL) among women who have undergone breast aesthetic surgery is expanding. A comparative, anonymous study between the two main breast aesthetic procedures is needed. Objectives:The authors compared patient characteristics and aspects of QoL among women who underwent breast enlargement with implants (BI group) and those who underwent augmentation mastopexy (AM group). Methods:Patients at the Oslo Plastic Surgery Clinic were given a 47-question survey to measure QoL. The survey was anonymous; 61 patients who received breast implants and 37 patients who underwent augmentation mastopexy between 2005 and 2009 responded. Answers were processed by a QuestBack return mail system and sent to the authors. Statistical analyses were performed to evaluate significance between the groups. Results:The response rate was 67% in the BI group and 88% in the AM group. Mean follow-up time was 2.8 years in both groups. Motivation for surgery was primarily cosmetic (65%) and emotional (48%) in the BI group as well as cosmetic (78%) and physical (31%) in the AM group. The effects on psychosocial aspects were significant in the BI group regarding life changes and feeling like a "whole" person (68.9% vs 40.5% and 73.8% vs 40%). BI group also had a significantly higher satisfaction with overall cosmetic result, enlargement, and breast volume (93.4 %, 90.2%, 80% vs 69.4%, 70.2% vs 67% in AM group). Additionally, the BI group was more satisfied with shape, scar, and symmetry (90.1% vs 63.9%, 70.6% vs 40.5%, and 83.6% vs 54.0%, respectively). Conclusions:None of our patient groups were stereotypical and motivation for surgery was primarily cosmetic in both groups. BI patients were significantly more satisfied with the aesthetic outcome and the QoL of many psychosocial aspects. AM patients may have had different expectations than BI patients and a significant dissatisfaction was reported in shape, scarring, symmetry, and the nipple-areola complex. Level of Evidence 3:
