I've had 2 consultations with 2 different Dr's for breast implant exchange. Dr #1 said he would do a Popcorn Capsuloraphy procedure with implant exchange Dr #2 said he would do a popcorn capsulorrhaphy with implant exchange. Can someone please tell me what the difference is between a Capsulorrhaphy and a Capsuloraphy procedure?
Answer: What is the difference between popcorn capsuloraphy and popcorn capsulorrhaphy? Thank you for sharing your question. These are meant to be identical procedures, one practice uses spell check, while the other did not lol

Answer: What is the difference between popcorn capsuloraphy and popcorn capsulorrhaphy? Ok not to be snarky but the only difference is that one is spelled correctly. Capsulorrhaphy is the correct version which basically means manipulation of the pocket where the implant sits. In this case, it is most common to tighten the pocket.

Answer: What is the difference between popcorn capsuloraphy and popcorn capsulorrhaphy? Hi. Not to sound obnoxious, but capsulorrhaphy is spelled correctly. Now there may be differences between how one surgeon and the other surgeon actually do their capsulorrhaphies and there may be different thoughts between how effective a popcorn capsulorrhaphy is, but it is probably just that Dr. #1 inadvertently left an "r" out of the spelling. I would recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon with good experience with breast implant surgery including exchanges. Make sure you have all of your questions answered and that you feel comfortable with your potential surgeon.

Answer: Capsulorrhaphy A capsulorrhaphy is a technique used to reduce the size of a capsule in areas that it is needed. It is commonly referred to in breast implant revision surgery where it is used to reshape a breast implant pocket by tightening up areas of the capsule that forms around a breast implant. This can be done by the popcorn technique or with sutures or both.

Answer: Popcorn Capsulorrhaphy There is no difference except the spelling is incorrect. A capsulorrhaphy and spelled with 2 r's and a h. I wrote the very first paper on capsulorrhaphy in 1999 and have performed thousands of these procedures. Typically, popcorn capsulorrhaphies do not work and are waste of time. I would search for a plastic surgeon in your area has extensive experience with breast revision surgery and capsulorrhaphies. Best wishes to you.
