Ryan M. Greene, M.D., PhD - Ft. Lauderdale * Boca Raton Facial Plastic Surgeon

Ryan Greene, MD, PhD, is a fellowship-trained facial plastic surgeon and a member of the highly elite American Academy Of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. He is also board-certified by the American Board of Otolaryngology, one of the oldest medical specialties in the United States. Otolaryngologists are physicians uniquely trained in the surgical and medical treatment of patients with disorders and diseases of the head and neck.

Dr. Greene’s education began at Wake Forest University, where he majored in Biology. After graduation, he moved to Atlanta to research infectious diseases at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Here he developed an interest in public health, and chose to pursue a Ph.D. at the University of Georgia. He was awarded the prestigious Parasitology and Vectors Training Grant from the National Institutes of Health for his graduate studies. His Ph.D. research has been instrumental in the development of a diagnostic test currently used in developing countries. It was through this exposure to medicine and public health that Dr. Greene chose to follow his calling to medicine.

He matriculated into the University of Texas Medical School at San Antonio, and graduated at the top of his class. He excelled to the top 3% in his class in clinical rotations, and was selected for the Alpha Omega Alpha medical honor society. During medical school, he developed an interest in head and neck surgery, especially with regards to facial aesthetics. This fascination with its intricate surgery and positive impact on patients solidified his decision to pursue further training in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery.

Throughout his medical career, Dr. Greene has trained and worked with leaders in facial plastic surgery. He completed a residency in Otolaryngology/Head and Neck Surgery at the University of Illinois at Chicago. At this authority of facial plastic surgery, he trained under world-renowned leaders in the field such as Dean Toriumi and Regan Thomas. While in Chicago, he received many awards for clinical teaching, and he published numerous articles and textbook chapters on facial plastic surgery. He was also invited to serve as a Contributing Editor in a groundbreaking textbook on neurotoxins (Botox, Dysport) and injectable fillers. This textbook is used by practitioners around the world as a reference for the use and technique of injectable agents.

Following residency, he was among an elite group selected for a fellowship in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. At the University of Miami, he again trained with pioneers in rhinoplasty and facial reconstruction. He also received additional training in lasers, injectables, and skin care by prominent cosmetic dermatologists. As a fellow, he continued to be a prolific writer, writing additional book chapters and continuing important research in facial plastic surgery.

Dr. Greene’s track record in academic success demonstrates his unrelenting commitment to his work. He has published landmark research articles in peer-reviewed journals and has received many awards and honors throughout his medical and surgical training. Perhaps more importantly, he takes pride in delivering compassionate care to each and every patient. His philosophy is simple: Do whatever it takes to ensure patient satisfaction, without compromising integrity, patient safety, or ethics. It is Dr. Greene’s belief that this guiding principle will optimize patient outcomes and will best serve his patients and the community.
