About Dr. Green
Dr. Jason Green completed his undergraduate training at Wake Forest University where he graduated with a degree in Biology, earning Magna Cum Laude, and was a member of the Wake Forest University Football Team. He received his medical degree from the Duke University School of Medicine. He is currently one of four Chief Residents in the Integrated Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Program at the University of Pennsylvania.
During residency, Dr. Green has published research examining the underrepresentation of African Americans in Plastic Surgery as he understands that adequate representation is critical to providing optimal patient care. He has also begun to develop advanced understanding of diet, exercise, intermittent fasting, muscle health, and longevity. This knowledge is with the understanding that health and appearance are integrally related. He believes that establishing a synergistic relationship between health and appearance is a key factor to long-term health and wellness.
Dr. Green is pursuing a career in Aesthetic Surgery with sub-specialization in the areas of facial aesthetics and post-bariatric/high-definition body contouring. After completion of residency, he will be completing an Aesthetic Surgery Fellowship at the renown Aesthetic Center for Plastic Surgery in Houston, Texas. During this fellowship he will train under several full-time Aesthetic Surgeons while managing his own fellowship practice.
