Brazilian Portuguese version of the Female Genital Self Image Scale (FGSIS) for women seeking abdominoplasty

Female body image is a multifaceted construct associated with satisfaction with specific body parts (e.g., abdomen, arms, thighs, among others), body size, and feeling comfortable showing the body to the partner or others1,2. These perceptions and feelings about the body are influenced by socio-cultural aspects and personal views, and may affect sexual performance and satisfaction3. Changes in body image are particularly evident in women who have experienced changes in the body, including pregnancy, weight gain, serious diseases such as cancer, and aging.
