JULIA ALI

Medical Doctor

Summary

I'm a junior doctor with a genuine interest in aesthetic medicine. Over the years, I've had the chance to work in different healthcare settings across the United Kingdom, Hungary, and Lebanon, which has really shaped the way I connect with people and adapt to their individual needs. I'm drawn to aesthetics because it combines medical knowledge with creativity and attention to detail — and I'm keen to build my skills in a setting where patient care and subtle, natural results come first.
