The Body Image Scale (BIS) has ten items rated on a four-point Likert scale (0 \[not at all\] to 3 \[very much\]), with total scores ranging from 0 to 30. Higher scores indicate greater BI distress.
Decision Regret
Time Frame: 1 month, 8 month, 12 month post surgery

Decision conflict
Time Frame: Pre-surgery, 1 week after intervention
Decision Conflict Scale (DCS) accesses the perception of uncertainty in information, values or support for surgery options. This instrument contains 16 items and was developed by O'Connor. The items were summed, divided by 16, and multiplied by 25. Higher scores indicate greater decision conflict.
Secondary Outcomes
