In that case, do breast augmentation patients feel it was worth the effort?
Studies have found little change in general measures such as physical health, activity, or work capacity. However, there are dramatic improvements in specific measurements, like body perception, feelings while wearing clothes, attraction ability, and a sense of femininity. There are positive effects on factors that contribute to psychological well-being and quality of life. A recent study of breast implant recipients at six years showed a 94% satisfaction rate (PRS 2007 120 (December Supplement 1):13S, 106S).
