| Abstract |
There are only a few studies that provide sufficient data regarding the effects of aesthetic breast augmentation on various aspects of quality of life. Significant improvement in body image, satisfaction with appearance, sexual attractiveness, and self-esteem has been observed in these studies. In contrast, however, a somewhat impaired general health-related quality of life has been reported at follow-up. Nevertheless, when considering the effects of aesthetic breast augmentation on eating habits, publications are lacking. We therefore decided to assess the effects of aesthetic breast augmentation on quality of life, psychological distress, and eating disorder symptoms. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 20 March 2019.
All research outputs
#14,146,599
of 22,668,244 outputs
Outputs from Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
#629
of 1,202 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#96,554
of 165,196 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
#9
of 15 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,668,244 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 35th percentile – i.e., 35% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,202 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.8. This one is in the 45th percentile – i.e., 45% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 165,196 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 39th percentile – i.e., 39% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 15 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 40th percentile – i.e., 40% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
