Dr. Shahryar Tork is fed up with rumors suggesting he's the reason for TikToker Rachel Tussey's death ... and he's now going after who he thinks really caused it.
In a new lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Dr. Tork blames JourneyLite Surgery Center for Tussey's passing because he says they never provided safe recovery and post-anesthesia care.
According to Dr. Tork, the initial surgery went "smoothly" with him, but things went south during her post-op care with the Cincinnati surgery center, which he claims offered an unqualified care-unit nurse who ended up administering a post-anesthesia opioid overdose. He claims two of the surgery center's nurses "administered more opioids in a period of minutes than Mrs. Tussey had needed during the entire nine-hour surgery." He says this opioid overdose caused a respiratory failure that led to Tussey suffering an "anoxic brain injury" -- essentially a lack of oxygen to her brain.

Bunnie XO finally underwent the facelift surgery she's reportedly been planning for years ... and now she says she looks like Bert Kreischer!

Here's a detailed breakdown of their quests for ultimate beauty.
Kylie Jenner Told Her Fans Exactly Which Breast Implants She Got
Kylie Jennerconfirmed in a 2023 episode of "The Kardashians" ... she had her breasts augmented when she was just 19 years old.
Although she didn't give any specifics about her boob job at the time, last year she revealed exactly what she'd ordered after a fan on TikTok asked her what work she had done.
Kyle said she'd had 445 cc silicone implants with a "moderate profile" and said each implant was "half under the muscle."
She also wrote her implants had been done by the Kardashian clan's longtime cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Garth Fisher ... and he had tons of requests for similar implants after Kylie shared the details.
John Cena Got Bullied For His Hair ... So He Got Transplants
John Cena worked as a "babyface" -- a good guy in wrestling terms, FYI -- for much of his career, but even the good guys get fed up sometimes ... and he was apparently bullied over his hair so mercilessly he chose to get a hair transplant.
The WWE superstar declared on "The Pat MacAfee Show" in April 2025 that he'd undergone the procedure ... he said he'd been "ripped to shreds" about his bald spot, and that was too much for him.
Cena described the bullying as "not cool," as he was just dealing with his genetics, and recalled an instance where he was "in the [Royal] Rumble trying to win and they're like, 'Man, that's a bald spot!'"
Cena explained his surgeon took hairs from the side of his head and transplanted them onto the top of his dome in November 2024 -- and since the Undertaker won't be giving him a Tombstone anytime soon, those follicles shouldn't be under too much stress going forward.
Still, he felt as if taking steps to making himself feel better about his looks shouldn't have been a big deal ... and he later said he would've "gotten it done 10 years ago" had there not been any stigmas around cosmetic surgery.
Simone Biles Says She Felt 'No Shame' Going Under The Knife
Simone Biles shared a video on TikTok back in October unveiling the work she's had done ... talking about the mixed results she's experienced.
Waiting for your permission to load TikTok Post.
The Olympian had a lower blepharoplasty, which removes bagginess from lower eyelids and takes off extra skin from the upper eyelids. Simone says much of her family had what she described as "the Biles eye bags."
Simone also had a breast augmentation -- but she didn't go under the knife because of her looks ... it was about making herself feel more confident about her body.
The one thing Simone was not a fan of, however, were Botox injections ... hey, they can't all be winners!
Cardi B Had Regrettable Butt Injections -- And Eventually Took Them Out
Cardi B's been under the knife plenty of times, and she's talked about her past procedures that didn't turn out well ... in particular, a set of shady butt injections.
FYI ... Cardi has said she paid $800 for a woman to inject filler into her butt in a basement in Queens, New York, back in 2014 -- they didn't last forever, though.

On a 2025 episode of "Call Her Daddy," the superstar rapper discussed how she had what she described as a "tummy tuck" for her butt ... she was laid out for three months while she recovered from the procedure, which reduced the size of her rear end.
Cardi ruled out the possibility of another butt reduction, saying she's not "going to put myself in that position again because you don’t like my body."
Kristin Cavallari's Never Had Botox ... But She's Had Lots More!
Kristin Cavallari's had augmentations over the years ... on an episode of her "Let's Be Honest" podcast, she confessed she'd had breast implants, as well as a breast lift.
In case you didn't know, implants add volume and size, while a breast lift reshapes and elevates the skin around each breast ... and Kristin really maxed out what she had.
Kristin later told a fan why she hadn't opened up about her implants before then -- no one had bothered to ask!
We should mention ... not only did Kristin go through one set of implants, she actually redid her augmentations after one of her originals ruptured.
Kris Jenner Had A Facelift ... And A Facelift Refresh
We saved the best for last ... Kris Jenner's gone under the knife on and off screen on multiple occasions. One of her most unexpected reveals came in August 2025, when she said she had a facelift ... almost 15 years after her first one.
ICYMI ... Kris had her first facelift all the way back in 2011, and she told Vogue Arabia she'd had a second one performed just to "refresh" her looks and be "the best version" of herself.
Kris said her approach to aging might seem unorthodox to lots of folks, and said she knew cosmetic procedures weren't right for everyone.
Still, she said going under the knife was part of her approach to "aging gracefully" ... and even though most of us don't have Kardashian-level money, you can still see plenty of people chasing perfection -- and dealing with its consequences -- in FX’s "The Beauty."

Dr. Terry Dubrow has been sued by a former patient who claims he caused severe bleeding in her that required two additional surgeries, after using a non-FDA approved mesh material for a breast augmentation he performed on her ... all the way back in 2014.
According to the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, the woman says the famous doc stuffed her chest with unsafe, non-FDA approved SERI Surgical Scaffold mesh ... which a subsequent doctor says resulted in a hematoma in her right breast and required 2 surgeries to fix.
The plaintiff not only alleges she suffered physical injuries, but said she lost out on money because she could not work ... and had to shell out cash for the corrective surgeries. She is seeking reimbursement of her medial expenses and wants money for any future corrective procedures she may need ... in addition to damages for lost income.
He insisted ... "At the end of the day, it's nobody's business. This is his private medical information. If you want to speculate about Bradley Cooper ... don't!"
Murmurs about Bradley's appearance began last year, with some TikTok users in particular speculating as to what procedures they think the 51-year-old Oscar nominee has gotten.
Kylie Jenner has owned up to going under the knife ... but her sister Kendall Jenner is shutting down the chatter, insisting she herself is still all-natural ... no matter what the internet says.
Speaking on the "In Your Dreams" podcast, Kendall confirmed she hasn’t had any plastic surgery on her face, and the only thing she’s ever dabbled in is a little "Baby Botox" in her forehead ... though she admits she wasn’t sold, since it froze the eyebrow movement she actually liked.
Kendall added the only other thing she’s tried is PRP -- platelet-rich plasma -- which involves taking your own blood and injecting it back into the body for things like injury healing, hair growth, and cosmetic treatments.
Andy Cohen's not coming into the New Year with a whole new face ... telling fans he didn't get plastic surgery -- though he admits he's had a little bit of work done.
Here's the deal ... Cohen hosted New Year's Eve coverage on CNN Wednesday night with Anderson Cooper -- as he usually does -- and many viewers took to social media to question if Andy had recently undergone cosmetic surgery.
Despite suggestions of a more extensive procedure online, Cohen took to Threads to clear up the speculation ... writing, "Did the smallest amount of Botox and lost 20 pounds ! And had a lot of makeup on."
TMZ has obtained concerning video of influencer Mary Magdalene weeks before she died ... showing her being carted away by law enforcement officers in Thailand as she yelled out in confusion.
You can see in the clip, Mary -- whose real name was Denise Jarvis -- seems unable to walk on her own and is lifted by Thai officers and loaded into a cart on November 21 near the popular Krabi walking street. She exclaims she doesn't know what's happening as multiple men push the cart. The video then shows her being walked through a building and finally, into what appears to be a hotel room so she can rest in bed. She also appears to be claiming she's "drugged."
A second video shows her explaining she had been left on the street all by herself ... and says this is the price she pays for being "popular." She says she loves "the idea of being popular," but being left all alone and unable to help herself is not worth it, and "traumatizing." She even suggests people get pets for companionship instead and "isolate yourself from society."
