Brief Summary

Overall, 100 patients were enrolled. Of 69 patients (45 OP and 24 IBR) had completed the pre and postoperative questionnaire and randomized to simulation or not. In the OP group 24 were simulated and 21 received no simulation. In the IBR, 13 patients were simulated and 11 not. Comparing Breast-Q expectations rate, women in OP group had higher expectations for breast appearance when clothed than IBR implant group (93,4 ? 16,3 vs. 82,9 ? 26,5; p=0.03). In the OP group, 51% of patients expected that the breast would have normal sensation after 1 year, whereas 43,3% of women in IBR group expected to have some sensation. When Breast-Q score were compared between groups who received 3D simulation or not, the intervention group who had 3D simulation were more satisfied with information than the control group (p 0.021). There were no statistically significant differences between groups with respect to the others preoperative or postoperative Q-score value. Furthermore, in both groups the 3D simulation helped the patients understanding the process of surgery (86,6% oncoplastic group and 75% breast reconstruction group
