The aim of this study was to measure breast satisfaction and quality of life using the BREAST-Q Reduction Module in a large sample of postoperative patients having breast reduction using the inverted T technique.
With due approval from the ethics committee of our university, 414 patients who were seen in consultation for breast reduction surgery between 2005 and 2015 performed by the same team were asked to fill out BREAST-Q surveys. The patient factors collected for all those undergoing breast reduction included age, body mass index, incision pattern, areola complex pedicle used, amount of tissue resected, concurrent procedures, and complications.
At our Department of plastic, reconstructive, and aesthetic surgery, 414 women underwent reduction mammoplasty with the inverted T technique from 2005 to 2015. All patients answered the BREAST-Q reduction mammoplasty postoperative module. Postoperative patients who presented with severe hypertrophy and asymmetry Grade C were more satisfied than others.
Our study represents the largest number of patients who answered the BREAST-Q reduction mammoplasty module. The goal of breast surgery should be the attainment of patient satisfaction with good breast volume, shape, and symmetry.

本研究的目的是使用BREAST-Q缩胸模块，对大量采用倒T形技术进行缩胸手术的术后患者的乳房满意度和生活质量进行评估。
在获得我校伦理委员会的适当批准后，要求2005年至2015年间由同一团队进行缩胸手术咨询的414名患者填写BREAST-Q调查问卷。收集的所有接受缩胸手术患者的相关因素包括年龄、体重指数、切口模式、乳晕复合体蒂的使用情况、切除的组织量、同期手术以及并发症。
2005年至2015年间，在我们的整形、重建和美容外科，414名女性接受了倒T形缩胸手术。所有患者均回答了BREAST-Q缩胸术后模块。表现为严重肥大和C级不对称的术后患者比其他患者更满意。
我们的研究涵盖了回答BREAST-Q缩胸模块的最多患者数量。乳房手术的目标应该是让患者对良好的乳房体积、形状和对称性感到满意。
