 Raised in Arizona, Dr. Sean Lille, renowned Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, attended Brophy Prep. He graduated Summa Cum Laude with a BA from Cal-Berkeley and received his MD from the University of Arizona. Dr. Lille did his Residency in General Surgery at the University of Washington, where he was also a Research Fellow in Vascular Surgery and completed his Residency in Plastic Surgery. This included a Plastic Burn Fellowship at Southern Illinois University Medical Center. An Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Fellowship Specializing in Cosmetic Surgery took Dr. Lille to the Mayo Clinic Scottsdale.
Dr. Lille, Board Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, has authored more than 50 publications in his field. He has also lectured both nationally and around the world.
In addition to his private plastic surgery practice, Dr. Lille is a Research Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Arizona State University.
