Psychosocial variables
The investigators will assess mental health history and self-reported psychosocial variables as hypothesized risk and protective factors for body image and depression severity in breast reconstruction patients, before and after their mastectomy and breast reconstruction surgery. Mastectomy and breast reconstruction will be received in the context of routine medical care. Thus, this is not a psychological intervention, but rather observational measures assessed pre- and post routine care for breast reconstruction patients.
