Abstract

Surgical breast reconstruction following mastectomy often results in scarring not only to the breast but often to the donor-site area. However, few studies have been devoted to the potential effects of scarring among women who underwent breast reconstruction. The aim of the study was to explore these women's attitudes towards scarring.
