Patient satisfaction after breast reduction surgery is not linked to tissue removed or bra size changes. However, receiving thorough pre-operative information significantly boosts satisfaction with the breast reduction outcome.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Patient Outcomes Research

Background:

  • Breast reduction surgery alleviates discomfort from breast hypertrophy.
  • Patient satisfaction is a key outcome measure in plastic surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate how demographic and surgical data influence patient satisfaction after breast reduction.
  • To identify factors correlating with improved outcomes using the Breast-Q Questionnaire.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the Breast-Q Questionnaire's breast reduction module for 52 patients (2016-2020).
  • Analyzed demographic data, surgical details, and questionnaire results using SPSS.
  • Set statistical significance at p < 0.05.

Main Results:

  • No correlation found between tissue removed, bra size change, and satisfaction.

  • Higher Body Mass Index (BMI) correlated with increased physical well-being and tissue removed.
  • Patient satisfaction was 84.51% ± 24.28, strongly linked to pre-operative information (p < 0.001).

    • Conclusions:

    • Pre-operative patient education is crucial for satisfaction following breast reduction.
    • While physical relief is a primary driver for surgery, aesthetic results and informed expectations are key to satisfaction.
    • Factors like tissue weight and bra size changes do not significantly impact overall patient satisfaction.
