Abstract (EN): Background: Satisfaction is an important outcome variable in surgical success. The purpose of this study is to evaluate predictors of satisfaction in women submitted to silicone textured breast implant surgery. Methods: A retrospective evaluation of women receiving textured silicone breast implants was performed. Patients were divided in four groups: cosmetic cohort (n = 104), reconstructive cohort (n = 120), general population control cohort (n = 120) and aesthetic control cohort (n = 54). Data were collected based on information retrieved from patient records, a planned consultation and a self-administered structured questionnaire. Results: Patient satisfaction was influenced by preoperative information (p = .007), cohort (p <. 001), and occurrence of postoperative complications (p <. 001). The degree of satisfaction was also related with drug intake habits: women using psychotropic drugs were 3-fold more likely to report poor satisfaction than those that never used these drugs (p <. 001). Conclusion: The purpose of the surgery, preoperative information and the occurrence of postoperative complications have an impact on the degree of satisfaction of women submitted to silicone breast implant surgery. Women using psychotropic drugs are more likely to report poor satisfaction.
