The study used 4 databases, namely PubMed, Science Direct, Google Scholar and EBSCO. The main keywords were "Perception", "Body image", "Mastectomy", "Qualitative Research". Article searches were carried out according to PRISMA guidelines. The findings in this study contain 3 main themes from 7 articles.
