A popular plastic surgeon who practices in Beverly Hills and Newport Beach and leads a USC-sponsored fellowship is being accused of unnecessarily operating on a patient for profit, according to a recently filed lawsuit.
Calvert’s name was listed on USC’s Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery clinic website on Tuesday, but by Wednesday his name had been removed.West met Calvert in 2013 when she was looking to have an earlier nose job repaired after having been injured in a car accident more than a decade earlier; she gave Calvert her insurance information, at his request, and still paid the $24,900 surgery cost out of pocket, according to her complaint.
“Calvert insisted that [West] return to Calvert’s various offices for 12 subsequent procedures primarily so that he could essentially treat [West’s] PPO health insurance policies as his own personal ATM machine,” the lawsuit states. After her first surgery, Calvert persuaded West to undergo 12 additional operations, according to the complaint.
A gynecologist later told her that one side of her uterus was black and full of clots and recommended she have a hysterectomy. “The university also is not involved in any patient billing for Dr. Calvert’s medical practice or programs,” spokeswoman Meg Aldrich said. Calvert’s fellowship program “is independent of the university and, aside from access to the Keck School of Medicine’s online library and academic lectures, fellows in this program are not associated with the university.
Why is this surprising? Most plastic surgeries are absolutely unnecessary
Plastic surgeon. Unnecessarily operating for profit. Where does the surprise part come in?
I sentence him to ten tumy tucks , ten abdominal hernia fixes , & ten vaginal rebuilds a week pro bono for the next three years. Yes dude , you are now a teacher. Enjoy.
No, he wouldn't do that... would he? 🙄
