Donda's Surgeon -- I'm the Victim of "Sleaze"

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 us West consulted with him over a period of four months. He says she changed her mind numerous times, sometimes greenlighting 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."

Dr. Adams says he did nothing wrong.

18. PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE YOU GO UNDER THE KNIFE...SOME PLASTIC SURGEONS ARE DENTIST OR EVEN WORSE NOT EVEN REAL PLASTIC SURGEONS. GO TO A GYM, TAKE YOUR VITAMINS AND STOP STRESSING OUT FOR A HAPPIER , HEALTHIER LONG LASTING LIFE.

19. This is really sad. Such a senseless death for such a young woman. This whole mess is likely to go on for quite a long time. We'll probably never know the truth either. My heart goes out to Kanye and his family. I hope this turns out to be one of those horrible tragedies and not some kind of malpractice.

20. ...IF she had any kind of heart disease and most do by the time they reach her age ..ten a surgery that would cause alot of bleeding would be extremly high risk just due to the clotting of blood....cardiac arrest would most likley be the cause due to blood clots....or pulmonary embolism in her lungs....bottomline...the bleeding causes clots, and they can hit u in the head ( stroke) heart ( Mi's-myocardia infarctions aka heart attack) or lungs ( embolism)...one of those got her in the end...sad for all...again speculation on my part...

21. #12 Your comment is evil and senseless. If it was your mother you would want everyone to respect her memory.

25. Kanye West is a public figure so he has limited right to privacy when death like this tragedy occurs near him.

Perhaps now you people will stop and think how you could contribute to the death of person by making fun of, and insulting, other people who are adjusting to aging.

26. Damn, I really will think twice now about going under the knife. If I had the money, I would like to have the same procedures done: lipo, breast reduction, but I'm 12 years younger than Mrs. West. When I'm 58, I don't think I'll care as much, hell I don't really care too much now. My Aunt died at the age of 27 when she went to have a hysterectomy--she left a young son behind who never quite recovered over her death. A friend of mine knows someone who died have dental work done...a doctor I used was the culprit--he no longer practices, thank God. I can't help but wonder what kind of prior condition she had (if she did have one), that would cause such a senseless death, and I thought it was rather crass of the first doctor to mention this to the press anyway. As far as I'm concerned, he violated the confidentiality agreement by alluding that there was a prior medical history that prevented him from doing the surgery even though he didn't say what it was. If there is any suing done, I hope he gets sued also; maybe that'll teach him to keep his effin' mouth shut.

27. Privacy laws don't apply once the patient is dead.
