I graduated with a degree in medicine in 1997, then completed a 4-years specialisation programme in General Surgery in 2002. Later, I completed a second specialisation in Plastic Surgery. In 2005, I became a member of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh after passing the MRCS exam. And later a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.

Since 2005, I have trained and worked exclusively in the field of plastic and reconstructive surgery. I have worked in some of the busiest plastic surgical units in the United Kingdom. I was awarded the Master Degree in General Surgery, the MD degree (Medical Doctorate with Thesis) for my research work in angiogenesis, and later passed the European Board of Plastic Surgery exam and the United Kingdom Intercollegiate Board Exam in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.
