Currently, the concept of health includes not only the absence of disease but also a complete state of physical, psychological, and social well-being with increased emphasis on the importance of self-esteem. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of surgical treatment on the self-esteem of patients with breast asymmetry, breast hypertrophy, or hypomastia.
The Rosenberg Self-Esteem UNIFESP-EPM Scale was administered preoperatively and in the early and late postoperative periods to assess self-esteem. The sample comprised three groups of patients: the breast asymmetry group (n=35), the breast hypertrophy group (n=50), and the hypomastia group (n=40).
Surgical treatment had a positive and similar impact on the self-esteem of the patients in the three study groups.
Correction of breast asymmetry, breast hypertrophy, and hypomastia improved the patient's self-esteem. All three groups reported a similar increase in self-esteem (decrease in total scores) after breast reconstruction.
目前，健康的概念不仅包括没有疾病，还包括身体、心理和社会的完全健康状态，并且更加重视自尊的重要性。本研究旨在评估手术治疗对乳房不对称、乳房肥大或乳房发育不良患者自尊的影响。
术前、术后早期和晚期采用 Rosenberg 自尊 UNIFESP-EPM 量表评估自尊。样本包括三组患者：乳房不对称组（n=35）、乳房肥大组（n=50）和乳房发育不良组（n=40）。
手术治疗对三组研究对象的自尊均产生了积极且相似的影响。
乳房不对称、乳房肥大和乳房发育不良的矫正改善了患者的自尊。乳房重建后，所有三组患者的自尊均有相似的提高（总分降低）。
