In this study designed to quantify the degree of breast enlargement produced by augmentation mammaplasty, 112 women who underwent breast augmentation were interviewed. The size increase that typically resulted from various implant volumes was measured by comparing preoperative and postoperative bra sizes. For the study group as a whole, the average increase was two bra sizes (either increased cup size or a combination of increased cup size and chest circumference), regardless of the implant volume inserted. Patients also were asked a series of questions to evaluate the impact of the surgery on various psychological parameters, including body image, feelings of self-confidence, and interpersonal relationships. Along with having a very positive body image, the group reported decreased self-consciousness (86 percent) and heightened self-confidence (88 percent); in addition, 95 percent said they felt better about themselves after surgery. The women's satisfaction with the results of augmentation and the success of surgery in meeting their expectations also were measured. Eighty-six percent reported being completely or mostly satisfied with the postoperative results, 86 percent felt the operation was a complete success, and 95 percent said that augmentation met their expectations.
在这项旨在量化隆乳术导致的乳房增大程度的研究中，对112名接受隆胸手术的女性进行了访谈。通过比较术前和术后的胸罩尺寸，测量了不同植入体体积通常所导致的尺寸增加情况。对于整个研究组而言，平均增加量为两个胸罩尺寸（要么罩杯尺寸增加，要么罩杯尺寸和胸围同时增加），无论植入的植入体体积如何。患者还被问及一系列问题，以评估手术对各种心理参数的影响，包括身体形象、自信心和人际关系。除了拥有非常积极的身体形象外，该组报告称自觉意识下降（86%），自信心增强（88%）；此外，95%的人表示术后自我感觉更好。还测量了女性对隆胸效果的满意度以及手术在达到她们期望方面的成功率。86%的人报告对术后结果完全或基本满意，86%的人认为手术完全成功，95%的人表示隆胸达到了他们的期望。
