Could a law suit stem from this- is the surgons at any way at fault???
Hip-hop superstar Kanye West mother died after cosmetic surgery that at least one doctor told her could be dangerous.
Sources say Donda West, 58, received a combination breast reduction and tummy tuck and likely suffered uncontrolled bleeding after going home to recover from the radical operation.
One plastic surgeon who saw Donda West in June said he recommended she first get a cardiac stress test from an internist because of her age.
"Donda was pushing me, 'Can I go home after surgery?' But I told her it just doesn't work that way," said Dr. Andre Aboolian of Beverly Hills. "The most dangerous time after surgery is the first 48 hours. I told her you have to go to an overnight care facility with nurses who look after you."
West, a former chairwoman of the English Department at Chicago State University, died at 8:29p.m. Saturday at Centinela Freeman Regional Medical Center in Marina Del Rey, Calif.
The Los Angeles County Coroner plans an autopsy by tomorrow, said LAPD Lt. Fred Corral. "We're looking at possible complications of surgery."
Death from cosmetic surgery is relatively rare, occurring in just one of 51,459 operations, according to the journal Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.
"If, for God's sake, the surgeon tells you it's too risky, don't find someone who will do it for you," said Dr. Richard D'Amico, president of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
