Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

This study established normative scores for the BREAST-Q Augmentation module using data from 1211 women. These scores provide crucial benchmarks for interpreting patient-reported outcomes in breast augmentation research and clinical practice.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Patient-Reported Outcomes
  • Health Outcomes Research

Background:

  • The BREAST-Q Augmentation module is a validated tool for assessing outcomes of breast augmentation.
  • A lack of normative data limits the interpretation of BREAST-Q scores in clinical practice.
  • Establishing normative values is essential for benchmarking and understanding patient experiences.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To generate normative data for the BREAST-Q Augmentation module.
  • To provide a reference for interpreting patient-reported outcomes in breast augmentation.
  • To compare normative scores with previously published augmentation study findings.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the "Army of Women" online community for data collection.
  • Recruited women aged 18+ without prior breast cancer or surgery history via email.
  • Performed descriptive statistics and linear multivariate regression analysis.

Main Results:

  • 1211 women completed the preoperative BREAST-Q Augmentation module.
  • Mean scores reported: Satisfaction with Breasts (54±19), Psychosocial Well-being (66±20), Sexual Well-being (49±20), Physical Well-being (86±15).
  • Lower scores observed in women with BMI ≥ 30 kg/m² or bra cup size D+; published scores differed from normative data.

Conclusions:

  • Army of Women data offer normative benchmarks for women not seeking augmentation.
  • These data can serve as comparison values for patients undergoing breast augmentation.
  • The findings highlight the potential value of breast augmentation in improving patient outcomes.
