Celebrity doctor...DUIs and malpractice suits...BD
The doctor who performed a tummy tuck and breast reduction on the mother of rapper Kanye West is a plastic surgeon to Hollywood's elite and something of a celebrity himself, with a TV show of his own and a number of appearances on programs from "Extra" to "Oprah."
What Dr. Jan Adams has not publicized, however, is that the state medical board is investigating whether to revoke or suspend his license over alcohol-related arrests; that he has been the target of malpractice lawsuits; and that he has paid out nearly $500,000 in civil settlements.
Adams, through his spokesman Kevin Williams, confirmed for The Associated Press that he operated on Donda West, who died Saturday night at a hospital after she stopped breathing at her home. She was 58. Adams also sells a line of skin care products, including a product that lightens skin, and has written two books on plastic surgery, including the 2000 title "Everything Women of Color Should Know About Plastic Surgery."
