Donda West Plastic Surgeon Jan Adams Speaks

Donda West’s plastic surgeon has come forward saying he did nothing wrong before fingers start pointing at him. TMZ reports:

Plastic surgeon Dr. Jan Adams has told TMZ that he was the doctor who performed cosmetic surgery on Kanye West’s mother Donda before she died.

Dr. Adams told TMZ her death, which followed a tummy tuck and breast reduction, was unforeseen and could have been caused by a heart attack, pulmonary embolism, or massive vomiting.

Dr. Adams tells TMZ West consulted with him over a period of four months. He says she changed her mind numerous times, sometimes green-lighting the surgery and sometimes halting it.

As for the TMZ report that Beverly Hills doctor, Andre Aboolian, refused to conduct the surgery because of a medical condition that West had, Dr. Adams said of Dr. Aboolian, "He is sleazy and manipulating the truth to elevate his own importance."

If Donda had a medical condition that made her a high risk patient, then Dr. Jan Adams should have declined the COSMETIC surgery. Doing multiple cosmetic surgical procedures increases the risk of mortality even in healthy patients, so if Dr. Jan Adams knew Donda had a medical condition that already increased her risk, and he agreed to do two procedures at once, then he should be held liable for the outcome, which was her death. Kanye West would have legal grounds, in my opinion, to file a wrongful death lawsuit. Kanye’s lawyers are no doubt assessing the situation.
