About Sean M. Hill, MD
Introduction
I grew up in a small farming community in southern Illinois, the youngest of three children. My two older sisters are in the arts; one is a dancer and the other a writer. Naturally, with these influences, I was actively involved in theatre and visual arts throughout school. I went to college thinking of becoming an engineer like my father. I enjoy mathematics and science, especially the idea of puzzles and putting things together.
However, while on a medical mission trip to see the impact medicine can have on people, I decided immediately I wanted to be a physician. I entered medical school wanting to be a family physician; that is the role I admired while growing up in a small town. I liked the thought of being involved in patients’ lives for their longitudinal needs. Also, I appreciated the family doctor’s active involvement in so many aspects of the community and its needs.
I was sitting in the anatomy lab during the first year of medical school when I fell in love with the complexity of human anatomy and human form. I knew at that moment I must be a surgeon. During a plastic surgery rotation, I had the opportunity to work with a surgical master. While watching the precision and the way he cared for his breast reconstruction patients, I knew I wanted to be a plastic surgeon. I saw in the way he cared for these women, that as a plastic surgeon I could be involved in my patients’ longitudinal care much as I envisioned as a family physician.

I am 7 months post op from BA with lift and have acute capsular contracture in both breasts. My implants (450cc, SRF) were placed UTM. My surgeon will perform a capsulotomy and replace with a smaller 365cc implant. Would you advise against the exchange?

Hey there.
Thank you so much for this question. Capsular contracture unfortunately is a known complication of breast implant surgery occurring 1% per year for a patient. In your case the risk would be 1%. Patient risk factors typically include any nicotine usage. The exact etiology is unknown but the most commonly accepted cause is bacterial colonization of the implant leading to the encapsulation. The most common treatment is implant exchange and 'pocket change'; meaning if you are on top of the muscle placing the implant below the muscle, or if you are below the muscle making a neosubpectoral pocket (new submuscular pocket). The site change is key as it helps to place the implant away from the presumed bacterial source.
In our practice we also are sure to copiously irrigate the pocket with several different antibacterial solutions to cleanse the area.
I would advise to make sure you are consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in aesthetic surgery; a member of the Aesthetic Society illustrates this fact.
Thank you again for your question and best of luck.
