title: Breast capsulorrhaphy.
abstract: The malposition of breast prostheses without capsular contracture has become an increasingly frequent event. In our experience with 40 patients over the last 5 years, we have found multiple-layer breast capsulorrhaphy to be a simple, safe, and reliable technique. With this method, repositioning of the breast is easier, more accurate, and more permanent than single-layer closures, which attempt ideal correction of the malpositioned implant on the first try.
