He is a former President of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) and holds a Hunterian Professorship at the Royal College of Surgeons, where he is lead for the UK National Audit of Cosmetic Surgery and Safety. He trained at St Bartholomew's Hospital Medical College and holds an MD from the University of London; during his higher surgical training he was awarded a Royal College of Surgeons scholarship to Harvard Medical School.
