Outcomes were assessed using the validated Polish version of the BREAST-Q questionnaire preoperatively and at 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively.

Psychosocial well-being increased from 50.8 \u00b1 19.8 preoperatively to 91.5 \u00b1 12.6 at 12 months, whereas sexual well-being improved from 47.1 \u00b1 22.9 to 87.5 \u00b1 14.9. Physical well-being showed a transient decline at 3 months, followed by recovery to near-baseline levels at 12 months. Satisfaction with breasts increased markedly over time. The procedure demonstrated a low complication rate, with one major complication and no cases requiring reoperation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Primary breast augmentation leads to significant and sustained improvements in patient-reported quality of life and satisfaction. Despite a transient decline in physical well-being, recovery occurs over time.
