Patients were selected based on available sampling. The tools of two parts questionnaire information collection include demographic information and Body Image Quality of Life questionnaire (BIQLI). The obtained information was analyzed using descriptive statistics and repeated measures ANOVA.

Results: In this research a statistically significant relationship was found between time and changes of body image quality of life and also between education level and body image quality of life (P less than 0/001).
