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.

33. very sad... I find it tactless that the doctor came out and told EVERYTHING. He is not under scrutiny at all (yet) ! I guess I just don't understand why he had to get into a pissing match with that other doctor when really ... it isn't about him at all! How professional of him to diss the other doctor like that! man... they are all the same! and i thought that lawyers were bloodsucking leeches.
Privacy laws or not.... there is something called "respect for the departed"...

34. I am amazed at the complete lack of professionalism on the part of both of these doctors! Regardless of whether or not it's a violation of privacy laws because she's passed - it's just in poor taste.
It's also monumentally stupid. Surgery is always a risk and things happen - sometimes through no fault of the surgeon, but anyone with more than five functioning braincells would know that when these things do occur - you keep your mouth shut and handle any statements through the proper channels. You don't start issuing juvenile he said/ he said slams.

35. What a tragic shame she didn't go to a quality physician. Tragic shame that cost an innocent victim, her life.

36. Isn't this the guy from TV? I think he has a show warning about bad plastic surgery!

37. This is sad. Not to say that plastic surgery is bad, but yes one should do their homework. Check for malpractice suits, and active licenses to practice. On another note. I was also curious about the doctor speaking out. There are privacy laws that you can't speak on someones personal information. If someone calls into my office to get info on a customer. I can't give out personal info. I can vefify what they have vs. what I have on file. I hope the West family sues. The HIPPA laws have been inforce for quite some time now, and clearly this has been breeched.

39. Dr. Death.

I looked at his web site.
How come they don't put on there where he kills people?


His new name should be Dr. Death.

40. I am reading more comments. Does the privacy become null and void in all states upon death?

41. Some of you people act like animals. What world are you living in?

It's a sad shocking loss and very sad for Kanye and family.

If the risk factor was 1 percent, that is still 1 percent. Dr. West is part of those risk factor statistics. If she had health issues prior to this surgery, nobody knows for sure at this point in time.

Wait and get your facts from a reliable source and not a celeb gossip site. You're crucifying this surgeon and you don't even know the true facts.

Dummies.

44. You know #1 I was thinking the same thing, why are these doctors all ready to cheese for the camera and tell someone's private information

45. Dr. Jan Adams is a world renowned plastic surgeon who graduated with honors from Harvard University and I forget which school of medicine but he is world renowned. He is also the narrator for the Discovery Health channels Plastic Surgery programs. He is very good. As for commenting he is trying to save his reputation and coming out on line or in print to rebut what the other plastic surgeon says is quite normal. By the way I've never heard of the other surgeon...
