Breast surgery represents the ability to sculpt tissues whilst facial aesthetics is the practice of Art on Nature’s canvas. 

Rozina trained at St Thomas’ hospital Medical school, attained a 1st class Hons. degree in Anatomy which in turn lead to research into the effects of Leprosy on bones. She later spent 3 months working in a Leper Colony in Venezuela investigating the Ocular effects of leprosy for a World Health Organization pilot study.
