Topic: Oncoplastic and aesthetic surgery
INTRODUCTION: Disturbances in body image and sexuality after breast cancer are common amongst women. Poor cosmetic outcome after breast surgery is known to lead to low self-esteem and poor body image. The aim of this study is to identify if lipofilling improves patient satisfaction. Methods This retrospective study included all patients undergoing lipofilling at a single institution between September 2014 and February 2018 (n=76). Patients received two validated questionnaires (Breast-Q and Sexual Adjustment and Body Image Scale) to measure health-related quality of life and patient satisfaction before and after lipofilling.Data was summarized with simple descriptive statistics. Differences between the scores were tested for statistical significance using the Wilcoxon test for paired samples.Appropriate divisional ethical approval was obtained to undertake study. Results: 101 procedures were performed in 76 patients. 32 completed questionnaires returned; a response rate of 42%.Lipofilling improves psychosocial wellbeing significantly across multiple areas including patients level of confidence (p=0.0001), feeling of normality (p=0.0002) and femininity (p=0.0002).Reported outcomes concentrating on satisfaction with breasts highlights improved satisfaction when looking in the mirror clothed (p=0.0001) and unclothed (p=0.0001). Our patients report that they feel more satisfied in their clothes following lipofilling (p=<0.0001), that they are able to wear more fitted clothes (p=0.004) and an improved softness of the breast is enhanced (p=0.0002).CONCLUSIONLipofilling significantly improves a patients psychosocial wellbeing and satisfaction with their breasts following surgery. Lipofilling is a useful tool to help improve low self-esteem in breast cancer patients.
