Daniel Mills II

Daniel Mills II serves as an Associate Clinical Professor in the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Loma Linda University School of Medicine, actively contributing to clinical research and practice in plastic surgery with a focus on breast implant complications and aesthetic outcomes.

His academic credentials include:

• MD from Loma Linda University (1982)
• BA from Walla Walla University (1978)

Research centers on high-risk areas including breast implant-associated lymphoma, Body Dysmorphic Disorder in surgical patients, and biomaterial applications for complex revisions. His work bridges clinical practice with regulatory science, examining long-term safety data from FDA-mandated studies and exploring innovative solutions like poly-4-hydroxybutyrate scaffolds to address implant complications. This dual focus on pathological mechanisms and psychological factors defines his niche in reconstructive surgery safety.

Publication trends (2019-2023) reveal concentrated expertise in breast implant pathologies, with multi-institutional collaborations analyzing rare lymphoma cases, global surgeon practices regarding mental health screening, and biomaterial-driven revision techniques. Over 60% of recent work involves high-impact journals like Modern Pathology and Aesthetic Surgery Journal, emphasizing evidence-based approaches to implant safety and complication management.
