Non notable and promotional .This is an advertisement, or more precisely an academic cv making do as an advertisement. The honors listed include every scholarhip from undergraduate years on,but nothing of major or national scope. The list of publications looks impressive, and the most cited has 107 cites a/c GScholar, but they are almost all of them unimportant review articles of the sort associate professors write and get cited in medicine, where everyone cites everything. The article was written by  "Mps doctor" who has written a number of similar now deleted articles on plastic surgeons.  DGG ( talk ) 04:54, 17 June 2016 (UTC)  DGG ( talk ) 04:54, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
