Plain and simple.............research your dr. and find out (and see photos) of his work to see if he actually knows what he's doing! This is a complete mess and I hope she sued the heck out of him! He deserves to get his license swiped or spread the word of not going to this particular Dr. because he's SLOPPY!! Has anyone asked him how he feels about his work? He obviously doesn't know but I bet my bottom dollar he acts like he does! LOL Crazy world with crazy Doctors! Where are the Doctors who relate to this procedure? How come no comments are made by them? Is it Standard procedure or is it ok for doctors who don't have the balls to "comment" on this issue? I pray and hope that this pt. recovers from not only emotional depression but physically overcome insecurity! Is this doctor still practicing? I HOPE NOT!
I had a Tummy Tuck 2 years ago and THANK GOODNESS I researched my doctors before going under the knife. I did EVERYTHING exactly the way I was supposed to and I still had a small infection along the incision line. So it's hard to say what has happened here. All I have to say is that you get what you pay for. She obviously did not look into the history of this surgeon.

The whole subject is health vs. inprovement. It is hard to say "get old and fat, it's safe" when you have the means and money to take action. When you die or get maimed, it is hind site.
I'm a nurse also. Yes, there are variables, but for the most part the scar, wound and healing are the surgeons signature and talent, expertise and frankly caring or not caring for their patients. Also, scarily, he had great credentials, T.V, Harvard, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. ( I believe the Board Certification was untrue but I'm not sure). So, the only other option, was to check past patients, and his malpractice suits which were plentiful, and his criminal record! Of all things, who would think to check a criminal record of a dr., but again another wake up call. Women and Men, maybe this is a way for us to learn to love ourselves more for who we are, this might be an important lesson for us to learn. My condolences to Kanye West and his Family, this must be so so devastating and shocking. His Mom, seemed like such a great Lady. Let's not forget the sadness of the victims and their Families. God Bless.
REVOKED REVOKED REVOKED REVOKED. THATS WHAT NEED TO BE DONE TO DR JAN ADAMS LICENSE. THERE IS NO EXPLANATION TO HIS MALPRACTICE. REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH YOU PEOPLE THINK SHE WAS CARELESS. THERE'S NO WAY SHE COULD HAVE CAUSED THE WOUNDS TO OPEN AND GET THAT BAD OF INFECTION. IF SHE WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO CAME FORWARD WITH THESE ALEGATIONS AGAINST HIM I WOULD BELEIVE THAT SHE MIGHT HAVE BEEN CARELESS BUT HE HAS BEEN CHARGES WITH MALPRACTICE BEFORE. I AGREE THAT HE NEEDS HIS LICENSE REVOKED. TO ALL OF YOU WHO TAKE THE TIME TO COMMENT ABOUT THE PATIENT BEING FAT. YOU MUST NOT KNOW HOW WOMEN THAT STRUGGLE WITH WEIGHT PROBLEMS FEEL.
I believe that any woman who has this type of surgery is putting herself at risk for all kinds of horrible after affects. It is so unfortunate that Kanye's mom had to suffer the way she did because of by this so-called doctor.It should be understood anyone wishing to have this done to them that they first think twice, is it really worth having this type of surgery.Sometimes you have to let nature take it's course especially if you're an older woman,i don't believe you need to have all that surgery done.In closing i would like to send my deepest and most sincere sympathy to Kanye and his family.

I doubt she was up running around after 9 hours of surgery with incisions like that all over her body. All the people who say it was HER fault need to realize that after a surgery like this you CAN'T move around at all for quite a few days. It is even hard to use the bathroom. So I don't see how she could have overexerted herself enough to rip sutures open all over her chest and abdomen. She probably couldn't even get up from a chair by herself for a week.
These dr's lie, cheat and keep many secrets. They will alter your surgery report to protect themselves. All these people who believe medical professionals are not corrupt are flat out stupid. Take it from someone who knows.

Before anyone has any elective surgery they should do their homework thoroughly. Research, research, research. Confirm that the doctor is board certified; confirm that no malpractice suits have been filed against him/her; ask the doctor how many times he/she has performed this particular procedure; ask to see his/her before and after patient photos; ask to speak to some patients who have had the procedure done by this doctor. If the doctor refuses to answer any of your questions or makes you feel rushed in any way, that should be a red flag. Find another doctor. It appears to me that Kanye's mother may not have done as much research on this doctor as she should have or she would have learned the information that is coming out now. That's really a shame because her death is really a needless one and very sad.
I missed the rest of the photos until a few seconds ago. It's enough to make me want to puke! What on God's green acres was she trying to accomplish with this surgery? I'd love to have smaller breasts and a flatter tummy. I'd even like to get rid of the excess fat in my chin. But, I would never, ever let someone take a knife to me to fix the problems. I'm attractive and have often been told I could be a model but I'm not what I'd like to be. But guess what? I'm just going to have to learn to live with it. There is no way I'd let someone do that to me. It's just not worth it.

Despite all the precautions taken to avoid infections after surgery some people just get them anyway. Once an infection sets it you can't stitch it back up again. The wound has to stay open, drain and heal that way.
I had my back surgery site get infected and open up two days after two disks were repaired. The incision was 4 inches long and down to the bone. It took two months to heal completely and left a pretty ugly scar.
That's life, it happens.

Actually, she is still kind of hot! Blond and curvy, isn't that the point. Where is the "before picture"?

Dr. Adams is NOT Board Certified, Karen. He never was, that's the whole argument. Where the hell have you been?

Oh, my God! This woman looks horrible! I can't believe she paid someone to do that to her. Her scars are horrible.
