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: 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: Spelling Thanks for your question! It was likely just a typo. "Capsulorrhaphy" is the correct spelling for the procedure. Make sure to look at B&A photos and reviews. Good luck!

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.
