• 242. Before I send the man to jail, I need a lot more info. When were these pictures taken? If this was an infection weeks or months after the surgery then I don't see how the doctor can be blamed. You really can't look at the scaring 'cause everyone scars differently. The abdomen wounds look like they were healed and then re-opened so that they could drain. I've seen several women with these tummy tucks and honestly I don't know why they get it. All have that scar from side to side or all the way round. It looks like she had a breast reduction judging from the incision marks, but either way it's crappy looking. However, I don't think the man should go to jail, but the patient should be compensated. Should his license to practice be in question, certainly? Should he be under investigation? Absolutely! Jail him 'cause these patients choose to take unnecessary risk Nope! They should be made to take full responsibility even Ms. West, she's 58 who was she trying to get divad up for?

• 243. I believe God made us in His image. We are wonderfully and fearfully made. We need to appreciate our bodies and preserve it. Why do we need to change how we look? I have a nose that is too wide but I believe that makes me unique and beautiful,I won't trade it for anything. That differentiates me from another person. We need to eat well, keep fit and we will forever be beautiful. Why go under the knife!!! What do you tell God when you meet Him one day? Will you tell Him he wasn't a good artist/architect/makrer?! Let's learn to appreciate our bodies and stop trying to look like somebody else!!!!

• 245. OMG this is terrible… a nightmare. This man is truly a criminal for causing this woman’s scarred body. I personally am not one for plastic surgery, but what this woman has gone through seems unimaginable. This so called doctor??? Is just a crazy wanna be surgeon. I don't understand how Kanye's mother hadn't heard of his bad rep. I feel so sorry for Kanye's loss too. With all Kanye's wealth i hope he takes this guy down for what not only what Adams did to his mother, but all of his past patients.

• 246. No doubt, this man needs to be punished. However, women can blame themselves as well. Surgery IS surgery, it should not be taken lightly. I have had 10 necessary operations in my life and would NEVER put my life at risk for vanity's sake. 2nd, it is very easy to verify with the Board of surgeons if a doctor has had malpractice suits or complaints against him prior to surgery. I've done that myself. 3rd, what this woman above needs is a gym membership, trainer, and some patience and perserverence rather than a quick fix. 4th, not to be harsh, but she is so out of shape and flabby that whatever work she had done, even if it were successful, was not going to make a marked improvement so why do it?

• 247. The terrible part of this all is that it happens more often than anyone realizes. MY 58 YEAR OLD MOTHER was also killed at the hands of a plastic surgeon just a short time ago. Its a shame that a celebrity has to lose a loved one for some real light to be shone on this. The amount of time people are under anest. and the pre operative work up need to be better regulated - its a true crime. What will it take to make the appropriate changes?????????????? We also don't hear about most of these cases because so many case settle out of court and have the documents sealed!!!

• 248. No doubt this man should go to jail. However, patient's do share some responsibility in their own horror stories. First off, plastic surgery IS

• 252. This is possibly a severe reaction to the vicryl sutures. My daughter suffered a reaction of this type that required three surgeries after a breast reduction. Her surgeon was wonderful and it had nothing to do with his abilities. Because it is not extremely common, some surgeons would not even recognize this allergic reaction.

• 253. OK, usually I brush off tabloid reporting as fluff, but these pix tell a different story. I like watching the surgery shows, but was horrified by this. If Jan routinely gets these kinds of results, hopefully his patient load will go to zero.

• 254. This guy will go to jail and serve a substantial amount of time I hope-- he won't be called "doctor" anymore but he will have a number to go by.. There shouldn't even be any debate about what this man has done--he has taken a life and it just happens to be Kayne's mom..put him in jail and let him rot!!!!...Lisa go see a shrink but check them out first...oh one more thing if its true that Oprah recommended this man's services she needs to check out all her referrals a little bit more.

• 255. I have seen several wounds like the ones pictured above. A panniclectomy (or removal of excess skin and fat from the abdomen) is a very serious surgery. Lifting even a gallon of milk can cause these incisions to dehis (or pop open). Smoking and diabetes are also things that can also cause delayed healing. The bottom line is, many times plastic surgery patients put their vanity before their well being and quality of life and it is through no fault but their own. Stop blaming everyone one else. For every one plastic surgery nightmare there are a thousand successful plastic surgeries. Why would any one risk death over vanity?
