Abstract

Introduction: The breasts are symbols of femininity, sexuality, and maternity. Breast augmentation is among the most sought-after procedures for women and has a positive impact on quality of life. Sexuality is one of the items that contribute to increased quality of life. Surgical outcomes can be evaluated from the patients' perspective using developed and validated questionnaires. For the assessment of sexuality, the most commonly used instruments are the Female Sexual Quotient and the Female Sexual Function Index, which estimate several domains of sexuality and can be used to evaluate the impact of surgery on it.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of breast augmentation on female sexuality.

Methods: We selected 87 patients from the Plastic Surgery Outpatient Clinic of Hospital São Paulo (Federal University of São Paulo) who wished to undergo breast augmentation. The patients were classified into two groups: the Female Sexual Quotient questionnaire was applied to one group, and the Female Sexual Function Index questionnaire was applied to the other group to evaluate sexuality preoperatively as well as at 2 and 4 months postoperatively.

Results: In both groups, there was a significant increase in the total score of the Female Sexual Quotient and Female Sexual Function Index questionnaires, and an individual increase in each domain assessed, with a significant increase in the domains of orgasm and sexual satisfaction, as well as foreplay and arousal, indicating an improvement in the patients' sexuality postoperatively.

Conclusion: Breast augmentation has a positive impact on female sexuality; furthermore, the Female Sexual Quotient and Female Sexual Function Index are sensitive in detecting this impact.

隆胸对女性性欲的影响。
简介:乳房是女性气质、性欲和母性的象征。隆胸是最受女性欢迎的手术之一,对生活质量有积极的影响。性是提高生活质量的因素之一。手术结果可以从患者的角度评估使用开发和验证问卷。对于性行为的评估,最常用的工具是女性性商和女性性功能指数,它们可以评估性行为的几个领域,并可用于评估手术对其的影响。目的:本研究的目的是评估隆胸对女性性行为的影响。方法:选取圣保罗联邦大学整形外科门诊87例拟行隆胸手术的患者。将患者分为两组,一组采用女性性商问卷,另一组采用女性性功能指数问卷,分别于术前及术后2、4个月对患者的性行为进行评价。结果:两组患者的“女性性商”和“女性性功能指数”问卷总分均有显著提高,且各评估领域均有个体提高,其中性高潮和性满足、前戏和性唤起等领域均有显著提高,表明患者术后性行为有所改善。结论:隆胸对女性性欲有积极影响;此外,女性性商和女性性功能指数对这种影响的检测较为敏感。
