Can popcorn capsulorrhaphy technique be used for over dissected implant pocket? (Photo)

February 23, 2024
Asked By:thatgirl225 in Sanger, California

Updated: I had a breast augmentation revision last year after My right implant ruptured. The surgeon over dissected the pocket towards the midline / cleavage area and towards the armpit. Now I can see that one breast is clearly wider than the other and crosses the midline, so to take up more of the cleavage area. It just does not look symmetrical in shape. What’s the recommended technique to make the pocket smaller so that my breast is not crossing the midline? I don’t want smaller implants, just symmetry,
