Summary

This study looks at how different types of bilateral breast reconstruction affect women's quality of life and satisfaction. Researchers will compare women who had preventive mastectomy (due to high risk) with those who had therapeutic mastectomy (due to cancer), and also consider the timing and type of reconstruction. Participants fill out the BREAST-Q questionnaire to measure their well-being and satisfaction starting three months after surgery.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could help surgeons and patients choose the best reconstruction approach to improve long-term well-being.
What could go wrong
As an observational study, it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to all patients or reconstruction methods.
