The mental image that an individual has of oneself is part of a person’s self-concept. A person’s thoughts about their identity can be conscious or unconscious.

For women, the change of appearance can create feelings of altered femininity due to the loss of one or both breasts.

Your assessment is vital to help Janet adjust to alterations in self-concepts (Potter et al., 2019).
