Donda West Surgery
Dr. Jan Adams performed a tummy tuck and breast reduction on Donda West in November 2007. West died shortly after from either a "heart attack, pulmonary embolism or massive vomiting."1
A second plastic surgeon, Dr Andre Aboolian, claimed that West had approached him months ago about having cosmetic surgery, but he refused her due to concerns of a pre-existing medical condition.3
Adams had been sued for malpractice twice before this incident.1
