Evaluation of satisfaction and well being with Breast-Q© of aesthetic breast augmentations by implants using the "Dual Plane" technique: A serie of 191 cases.

[INTRODUCTION] Dual Plane allows, according to J.B Tebbetts, to combine the advantages while reducing the drawbacks of the other implantation pockets. We assessed patient satisfaction using the Breast-Q © questionnaire after breast augmentation using the Dual Plane technique.

[MATERIAL AND METHODS] Our study involved evaluating data from the Breast-Q © questionnaire from 191 patients retrospectively. Other secondary criteria were studied such as postoperative complications, the correlation between satisfaction and implant volume, satisfaction and operating time, satisfaction and age of the patient.

[RESULTS] The Breast-Q © questionnaire allows us to assess the satisfaction of the patients in our series about their breasts, their implants, the information received and the outcome of the intervention. Physical, sexual and psychosocial well-being is also assessed.

[CONCLUSION] Breast augmentation using a Dual Plane pocket according to Tebbetts achieves significant levels of satisfaction and well-being in patients. To our knowledge, this is the most important series devoted to the evaluation of these criteria after the use of the Dual Plane.
