About William P. Adams Jr., MD
Introduction
Choosing a plastic surgeon can be a confusing task, but the most important thing to consider before making your decision, is if your doctor has undergone the elite training that is required for being a recognized plastic surgeon; not just a surgeon that performs cosmetic procedures. Specialized training prepares the surgeon to perform distinct cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery procedures all over the body. This elite standard can be identified by Board Certification from The American Board of Plastic Surgery.
Dr. Adams is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, accredited by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. This means he has undergone the rigorous additional, comprehensive surgical training required by the Board, and passed both extensive final written and oral examinations. Furthermore, certification requires continuous self-assessment and developmental standards that must be met.
There are many classifications of board certification, but only the American Board of Plastic Surgery differentiates true plastic surgeons. As a patient, it is imperative to confirm your doctor has this precise certification.

My wife has long had Baker III capsular contracture around her Allergan 468 textured implants (18 yrs post-op). Won't the CC tend to mask the effusion/swelling and/or firmness that seem to be the most prevalent early symptoms of BI-ALCL? If so, might this set of circumstances uniquely make…

One of the main risks factors for BIA-ALCL is textured implants. A relatively small number of the case had had capsular contracture. There have been two known cases of capsular contracture as the only presenting issue/symptom. The pathogenic process for Capsular contracture and BIA-ALCL may have some similarities mediated by chronic inflammation, but the end host response appears to be different - fibrotic (CC) vs. transformative (BIA-ALCL).
