Dr. Jan Adams, a Harvard graduate, is the doctor for rapper Kayne West's mom Donda West, who died of complications resulting from complications after a recent cosmetic surgery at a mere age of 58. Dr. Jan insists he has done nothing wrong:
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."
The newest report of TMZ on Dr. Donda West's death indicated that something must have gone seriously wrong during her surgery
Sources tell TMZ Donda West's operation lasted eight hours -- twice as long as it should have. We're told Dr. Jan Adams began the operation Friday morning and finished Friday evening. He then sent Ms. West home, rather than to a recovery center, which we're told, would have been appropriate.
Several doctors at Centinela Hospital where West was taken, tell TMZ they believe the excessive amount of time it took to perform the procedure strongly suggests either something went wrong during the operation or the doctor was just too inexperienced.
We're told she was dead the next evening at her home before paramedics arrived.
Even though he was credited to a "top" celebrity plastic surgeon in Belerly Hills, TMZ revealed that Dr. Jan Adams is not Board Certified with the American Board of Plastic Surgery. What's more, as early as April in 2006, the Medical Board of California filed legal papers asking to revoke or suspend Dr. Jan Adams' medical license because he was convicted of multiple DUIs. The report from Perezhilton.com said Dr. Jan Adams has been sued TWICE for malpractice during August to September 2001 and both lost! Sigh, now the ineffectiveness on the issue has cost Dr. Donda West's life!
