ABSTRACT

Objective:

Breast reconstruction after mastectomy has increased the expectations regarding aesthetic outcomes and increased quality of life for the patient. The survey is an important study tool to assess patient satisfaction among those undergoing cancer treatment. The study aims at identifying the level of satisfaction of patients who underwent mastectomy because of breast cancer, followed by immediate reconstruction with silicone implants.

Methods:

Retrospective cohort study with 42 patients who underwent mastectomy and immediate reconstruction with silicone prosthesis, who answered the BREAST-Q patient reported outcome questionnaire.

Results:

In general, 78.1% of the patients were satisfied or very satisfied with the reconstruction, and 64.3% were satisfied or very satisfied about their self-esteem.

Conclusion:

Reconstructive surgery after mastectomy should be provided for patients whenever possible since it leads to higher self-esteem and personal satisfaction.
