This study suggests that women who underwent breast reduction showed a significant improvement in both physical and psychological symptoms associated with macromastia and in their overall quality of life, 12 months postoperatively. Comparing pre- with postoperative scores obtained with the Body Dysmorphic Disorder Examination Self-Report (BDDE-SR23), the Short Form-36 Health Survey and the Symptom Inventory Questionnaire, the study objectively proves that breast reduction increases patient's satisfaction with their body image and improves their lives from both a psychological and relational point of view.
