Krapohl became a specialist in plastic surgery in 2003. In the same year he completed his habilitation in plastic surgery and venia legendi in plastic surgery at the University of Lübeck . In 2004 he also received the venia docendi for plastic surgery at the Medical University of Vienna. He received the additional title of hand surgery in 2005.

From 2003 to 2005 he was a doctor in the Department of Plastic Surgery and Reconstructive Surgery, Lainz Hospital and a resident doctor in his own private practice for plastic, aesthetic and hand surgery in Vienna. In 2005, Krapohl became head of the Department of Plastic Surgery and Hand Surgery at the Bundeswehr Hospital in Berlin and a consultant at the Center for Musculoskeletal Surgery at the Charité. In 2007 he was appointed lecturer at the Charité at the Bundeswehr Hospital Berlin and teaching association at the Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin.

In 2015 he became chief physician at the Clinic for Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery, Reconstructive Microsurgery and Hand Surgery at the St. Marien Hospital in Berlin, consultant at the Charité for reconstructive surgery and child hand surgery and consultant for breast reconstruction . In 2018 he was appointed to the Carl-Thiem-Klinikum Cottbus in order to establish the field of plastic surgery here.

Clinical-scientific contribution

Since the beginning of his university career, Krapohl's main interests have been in microsurgery of nerves and blood vessels. While at the Cleveland Clinic, he worked on the early animal models for limb and organ transplants. Krapohl also developed animal models for microvascular thrombosis and thrombolysis there . In 1997, that could Jet Propulsion Laboratory of NASA Krapohl win for developing the prototype of a microsurgical robot together with the engineers of NASA. In his clinical work, too, he later placed a focus on microsurgery and, in particular, on replanting surgery of the extremities.

As part of his military medical work at the Bundeswehr Hospital in Berlin, he developed a new focus in breast surgery. He demonstrated that one-sided breast growth can be stimulated in guard soldiers by using the carbine attachment. He thus underpinned the etiology of mechanically induced gynecomastia and was later involved in the creation of the AWMF guidelines for gynecomastia in adulthood.
