My Story

Two decades at the frontier of aesthetic medicine

“I came to aesthetics through medicine, not the other way around. That distinction shapes everything I do.”

My training began in medicine, and that clinical grounding in anatomy, physiology, and tissue behaviour still shapes how I understand aesthetic outcomes. I do not see them as cosmetic fixes detached from the rest of the face.

Over the past two decades, that perspective has led me to publish more than sixty peer-reviewed papers, write Springer textbooks, and teach at three leading universities. It has also shaped a practice in which patients are not handed a treatment menu. They are offered a conversation, a diagnosis, and a considered recommendation.

Facial ageing is never only about skin. It is also about fat loss, muscle change, bone resorption, and the effects of dentition, airway health, mouth breathing, clenching, and grinding on facial structure over time. My background as a dental surgeon has made me particularly attentive to those wider influences.

My understanding of beauty is also informed by lived and professional experience. I grew up in the UK as a Middle Eastern woman and have spent years living, working, and teaching aesthetics across East Asia. That has given me a more fluent understanding of how proportion, balance, and beauty are read across different faces and cultures.

Alongside aesthetics, I maintain an active wellbeing practice in nutritional medicine, hormonal health, and restorative care for patients who know that how they look and how they feel are connected questions.
