All rights reserved Abstract PURPOSE: The overriding goal of post-mastectomy breast reconstruction is to restore body image, and satisfy patient expectations. Measuring individual patient expectations would allow surgeons to identify patients who have unrealistic expectations, and subsequently to address their issues preoperatively through focused pre-surgical education. The purpose of our study is to develop a patient-reported questionnaire to measure individual patient expectations for breast reconstruction.
