Section Chief, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
Clinical Professor, Surgery

Dedicated to surgical education, Dr. Mason organized and secured accreditation for West Virginia’s first integrated plastic surgery residency program during his tenure there, serving as program director for the new program. He was a primary investigator of research studying the use of liposuction-derived fat for reconstructive uses, including early studies investigating the prospect of stem cells residing in fat.

He is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Cleft Palate Craniofacial Association, the American Society of Craniofacial Surgery and the American Society of Maxillofacial Surgeons.

Outside of medicine, Dr. Mason enjoys the outdoors and activities including hiking and biking. His two dogs keep him busy, and he is always up for travel. Some of his favorite stops include Melbourne, Australia; Algonquin Provincial Park in Ontario, California; anywhere in Italy; the south of Spain; and the islands of Greece.
