Identifying as an "innate nerd," Dr. Ahmed El Muntasar, born in Libya, embarked on his academic journey at St Andrews University in Scotland at the age of 16, setting a record as the youngest medical student there and the sole Arabic International doctor in his cohort. After obtaining his BSc in medical sciences, he pursued his medical degree in Manchester before furthering his education with a 'medical leadership' master's degree at London’s UCL. Driven by an insatiable thirst for knowledge, he expanded his expertise, completing twelve aesthetics courses by the time he established his first aesthetics clinic at the age of 26 in 2018, exceeding the standard requirement for practice.
Originally drawn to plastic surgery, Dr. Ahmed's perspective shifted after experiencing the pressures associated with such procedures. It was through the realm of aesthetics that he discovered his true medical calling. Despite the absence of formal education on aesthetics during his medical training, he found the instantaneous results of injectables more appealing compared to the prolonged consultations and multiple procedures characteristic of plastic surgery.
Balancing his role as a general practitioner with frontline duties during the pandemic, Dr. Ahmed remains deeply committed to patient care, dedicating three days a week to seeing patients. Renowned as a social media sensation under the moniker “the aesthetics doctor,” Dr. Ahmed has amassed a following of over 1 million followers, earning verification and cultivating a loyal clientele who value his expert guidance and unwavering commitment to patient well-being. Operating clinics in London, Leeds, and Cheshire, he has become a trusted figure within regional and minority communities, particularly among LGBTQ+ individuals and people of color.
Dr. Ahmed's vibrant personality and unconventional approach challenge traditional stereotypes of doctors while maintaining a strong educational focus, reflecting his continuous journey of self-discovery and advocacy within the medical field.
