After serving as chief resident, he then went on to complete a dynamic fellowship in plastic surgery at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, where he received excellent operative training with broad exposure to complex reconstruction and advanced cosmetic surgery. Some of the specific areas of training include breast reconstruction with microvascular and implant techniques, cosmetic surgery of the face, breast, and body, complex hand injury management including microvascular surgery, and replantation. During his seven years of surgical training, he had the opportunity to be educated and shaped by many well-known leaders in general and plastic surgery.
He is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the Southeastern Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons (SESPRS), the Georgia Society of Plastic Surgeons (GSPS), the Georgia Society of the American College of Surgeons (GSACS), and Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (ACS).

Astra Plastic Surgery is a thriving plastic surgery practice with locations in Forsyth County, and North Metro Atlanta. Dr. Killingsworth and his wife Lindsay (an OB-GYN) live in the North Atlanta area with their three daughters. They enjoy traveling, food and wine, and spending time with their extended family.
