Longitudinal Analysis of Change in BREAST-Q Score after 1 Year Post-operatively

	Satisfaction with Breast		Physical Well-Being of Abdomen		Physical Well-Being of Chest and Upper Body
Laterality	Δ	P	Δ	P	Δ	P
Non-Obese	+ 19.4	< 0.01^*	−18.1	<0.01^*	+0.3	0.92
Obese	+22.7	< 0.01^*	−15.6	< 0.01^*	−0.3	0.93

Statistically significant (p < 0.05).

The Δ statistic represents longitudinal variance in BREAST-Q score from pre-operative baseline.
