Downloads
Background: Body image is an important psychiatric element in women, and breasts are the main body parts that determine women’s body image. Therefore, this study was conducted with the aim to evaluate the sexual and body image satisfaction of women undergoing cosmetic breast surgery.
Methods: The present study was a descriptive study. The study population included 185 women who were undergoing cosmetic breast surgery and voluntarily participated in this survey in Behsima clinic and Dr. Keshavarz's clinic, Shiraz, Iran, between June 2016 and December 2017. Data were collected using the Sexual Satisfaction Questionnaire and Body Image Concern Inventory (BICI) (Littleton et al.) 6 months and 1 year after surgery. After data collection, data were compared among 3 different measurements using repeated-measures ANOVA in SPSS software. The significance level in this study was 0.05.
Results: The mean ± SD of age of the participants was 35 ± 1.89 years; the majority of the participants (56.25%) were 31-40 years old. More than half of the participants (50%) were college graduates. The mean score of sexual satisfaction was 118.34 ± 25.4, 121.12 ± 26.8, and 125.13 ± 15.42, before surgery, and 6 and 12 months after surgery, respectively, and that of body image scores were 32.28 ± 9.5, 29.06 ± 9.91, and 29.15 ± 10.64, respectively. There was a significant difference among the 3 intervals (P < 0.001).
Conclusion: An increase was observed in the sexual satisfaction and body image of a group of healthy women at the 6-month and 12-month follow-up after cosmetic breast surgery.
