Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Compare the physical well-being Q-score derived from the BREAST-Q between the two groupsCompletion of study (estimated to be 30 months)

The physical well-being module is one of the domains of the BREAST-Q that can be administered in isolation. Patients answer specific questions with answers that range from 1-4 to 1-5. Upon completion of this component of the survey, a physical well-being-specific numerical score is generated. This is then converted, based on previously published Rasch-modeling to generate a Q-score whose values range from 0-100. This same approach is used for all other domains of the BREAST-Q. Pre- versus postoperative Q-scores for physical well-being can be directly compared to study the impact of surgery on physical well-being. Similarly, the physical-well-being domain can be readministered to provide a longitudinal assessment of physical function over time.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Satisfaction with breastsCompletion of study (estimated to be 30 months)

-The satisfaction with breast module is one of the domains of the BREAST-Q. Patients answer specific questions with answers that range from 1-4. Upon completion of this component of the survey, a specific numerical score is generated. This is then converted, based on previously published Rasch-modeling to generate a Q-score whose values range from 0-100.

Satisfaction with outcomeCompletion of study (estimated to be 30 months)

-The satisfaction with outcome module is one of the domains of the BREAST-Q. Patients answer specific questions with answers that range from 1-3. Upon completion of this component of the survey, a specific numerical score is generated. This is then converted, based on previously published Rasch-modeling to generate a Q-score whose values range from 0-100.

Upper extremity function as measured by PROMIS Upper Extremity Short Form 7aCompletion of study (estimated to be 30 months)

-Questions regarding upper extremity function as reported by patient. Answers range from 5=without any difficulty to 1=unable to do. The total score ranges from 5-35.
