Participants were allocated into three groups: women with a history of cosmetic surgery, women who were candidates for cosmetic surgery, and a comparison group. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire, the Short Form Health Survey (SF\u201012), the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ\u201028), the Body Appreciation Scale (BAS), and the Body Image Concern Inventory (BICI). Data were analyzed using one\u2010way analysis of variance, Tukey's post hoc test, Pearson's correlation, and multiple linear regression.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The mean scores for quality of life, general health, body appreciation, and body image concern were 56.18, 27.58, 50.25, and 41.11, respectively.
