Instagram-Famous Plastic Surgeon Sued by Patients: ‘He’s a Danger to the Community’

Posted by in category: biotech/medical

Several women have filed medical malpractice lawsuits against a southern California plastic surgeon well known on Instagram, alleging that they endured botched surgeries, unexpected scarring and serious infections.

As reported by the Los Angeles Times, the series of lawsuits allege that Dr. Arian Mowlavi degraded the women by requiring them to take off all of their clothes during an examination, touching their bodies without consent and attempting to sell them additional procedures like breast augmentations and body sculpting.

Mowlavi, who was based in Laguna Beach, called himself “Dr. Laguna” and a “renowned body sculptor” while charging 10s of thousands for procedures that his patients allege were done sloppily or, in some cases, not by Mowlavi at all.
