There has been recently heightened media-driven attention to BII and BI-ALCL. Nowadays the importance of receiving correct and complete evidence-based information about these diseases and the potential impact of these emerging issues on disposition to receive breast implants are not investigated on BREAST-Q. The BREAST-Q survey has the potential to create an evidence-based approach to aesthetic surgical practice. We suggest implementing the BREAST-Q subthemes domain in order to investigate the degree of satisfaction about the education received concerning BII and BI-ALCL and to investigate the possible change of patient perception towards breast implants.
