New details have emerged surrounding the death of Kanye West’s mother, Dr. Donda West.
Dr. Jan Adams, a California-based plastic surgeon who recently spoke to gossip website TMZ, says he did nothing wrong during Dr. West’s surgery and that she may have died of other medical causes.
West’s autopsy results will be released in six to eight weeks.
According to the TMZ report, Adams says he gave West a tummy tuck and breast reduction after consulting with her over a four month period of time. Adams says that West changed her mind about the procedures on several occasions, according to the article.

Dr. West, 58, was taken to Centinela Freeman Regional Medical Center in Marina Del Ray Saturday night after she stopped breathing. Once at the hospital, workers attempted to “resuscitate West, but were unsuccessful” according to Deborah Ettinger, a vice president at the hospital.
In another development surrounding West’s sudden death, a different plastic surgeon, Dr. Andre Aboolian of Beverly Hills, says West approached him several months ago about the surgery. Aboolian also says that two weeks ago, he told West that she needed a medical clearance before he would perform the operation due to a pre-existing medical condition, according to his publicist Jo-Ann Geffen. “He simply said that in order for him to be comfortable, he felt it necessary to have a medical clearance before he’d touch her,” said Geffen.
Adams recently told TMZ that Aboolian was “manipulating the truth” but declined to elaborate. While Adams says the surgery was conducted without a hitch, questions about his past have surfaced. TMZ has unearthed a series of reports that the doctor has been the suit of several complaints, including sexual harassment and malpractice.
Another lawsuit—which was settled—claimed that Dr. Adams, a former co-host of The Other Half got a woman pregnant after an operation.
