The authors administered a questionnaire to 56 women with breast cancer who had bilateral subcutaneous mastectomies after Stroembeck/Beller since 1985. In this study, psychological aspects were investigated. There was no change in social behavior; isolation was not noticed. The negative effects on the body image were well accepted and discussed with relatives and friends. Psychological or emotional suffering was rare compared to patients with simple mastectomy. No change in sexual behavior was reported. The sexual function of the mamillae was significantly reduced. Although some cosmetic deformities were obvious, most patients would again choose the subcutaneous reduction mastectomy as operation of choice.
