Another Horror Story From Ex-Patient of Dr. Adams

Another ex-patient of Dr. Jan Adams, the man who operated on Donda West just hours before she died, has come forward with a surgical horror story.

“I wouldn't want anything happening to anybody like what happened to me,” says Emma Larrea, who filed suit against Dr. Adams after a 2005 breast implant surgery she says never properly healed despite repeat visits to his clinic.

“You go and get a surgery you want to better yourself, but unfortunately that didn't happen to me,” she told “Extra.”

This is for you Donda West….


The Angel was waiting,
Time was so near.
Then without hesitating,
The Angel was clear,
Who had been chosen,
To make this journey.
For God’s own reason,
The Angel could see.
So tiny, so special,
While they lay sleeping.
God sent His Angel,
For the final blessing.
Wrapped in Angel Arms,
Sheltered beneath their wings,
Far from earthly harms,
The Angel softly sings
Beginning their sacred journey,
To the Promised Land.
The Angel acted faithfully,
To God’s each command.

Why is this doctor even still in practice? He should have been sued and prevented from being a doctor long before now. And what,—-is he going to get his own show now??? Give me a break—sue him and put him in jail for negligence. He doesn’t belong in this profession, and sure doesn’t sound like he cares about his patients at all. What a jerk.

While every surgery has risks, I saw Emma Larrea’s implant fall right out of her body. Infection consumed her body and she is lucky to be alive. This was a young vibrant woman who suffered an infection that nearly killed her. No one deserves this kind of scenerio, cosmetic or not.

THANK YOU!!!! I thought I was the only one. I also had surgery by Dr. Adams, and he was supposed to fix my belly button two months after the surgery which was in March of 2004 because it was so awful. When I went to the Euclid Outpatient surgery center to have my belly button repaired he was yelling at the receptionist and then proceeded to yell at me because I wasn’t completing the paperwork fast enough so that he could preform the surgery because he had other patients to see. I was there on time for the surgery, I don’t know what caused him to react like that towards a patient. He acted as if he didn’t care. I was so upset I told him to forget the surgery because I didn’t want him working on me after that and I left. I never received a call from them. It has been almost 3 years, and I have never complained to the Euclid Cosmetic Surgery Center. I still have a belly button that is awful you can’t even stick a q-tip in it, and what is really sad is that I was going to have my surgery by another physician in that office, but they told me that I was a good candidate to have surgery by Dr. Adams from the Discovery channel but I would have to pay a little more for his services. So I did, and know I am screwed because I am not the type of person that will sue someone…..

HELLO ANONYMOUS,

I AM THE SISTER OF THE GIRL THAT YOU CALLED STUPID. I DON’T KNOW HOW OLD YOU ARE OR IF YOU EVEN HAVE ANY EDUCATION BEYOND ELEMENTARY AND IF YOU ARE AN ADULT AND NOT AN ACTUAL 8 YEAR OLD CHILD MAYBE NOW WOULD BE A GOOD TIME TO GROW UP AND STOP THE NAME CALLING.

YOU DON’T KNOW MY SISTER OR WHY SHE HAD TO HAVE THE SURGERY. YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT SHE LOOKED LIKE PRIOR TO THE SURGERY NOT THAT IT LOOKED ANY BETTER AFTER ADAMS PUT HIS HANDS ON HER BUT THAT IS BESIDE THE POINT.

EVEN IF HER SURGERY HAD NOT BEEN NECESSARY NOBODY SHOULD HAVE BEEN TREATED THE WAY THAT ADAMS TREATED HER AND MY FAMILY. NOW, TO EDUCATE YOU A BIT ON THE SITUATION…IT WASN’T ENOUGH FOR ADAMS TO YELL AT HER OFF THE TOP OF HIS LUNGS NO MORE THAT 3 INCHES FROM HER FACE AS SHE STOOD THERE WITH A GAPING HOLE THE SIZE OF A SILVER DOLLAR ON HER BREAST BUT HE ALSO YELLED AT MY MOTHER WHICH CAUSED HER TO HAVE TO BE RUSHED TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM. BUT I DON’T SHY AWAY FROM BULLIES AND HE FIGURED THAT OUT RIGHT AWAY WHEN HE TRIED TO YELL AT ME AND KNEW IT WAS BEST TO KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT.

EMMA IS NOT UPSET BECAUSE THINGS WENT WRONG. SHE IS UPSET BECAUSE OF THE WAY ADAMS TREATED HER AND HIS LACK OF CONCERN FOR HER HEALTH AND HIS LACK OF EMPATHY TO HER PAIN. NOBODY DESERVES TO BE TREATED THAT WAY…

NOW, DOES IT REALLY MATTER WEATHER THE SURGERY WAS ELECTIVE OR NECESSARY?….LAST I HEARD ALL DOCTORS TOOK THE SAME HIPPOCRATIC OATH AND EVERY PATIENT WEATHER WE ARE HAVING ELECTIVE SURGERY OR A NECESSARY ONE SHOULD BE TREATED WITH THE SAME CARE AND RESPECT. AFTER ALL WE ARE TRUSTING THEM WITH OUR LIVES.


ADAMS CHOSE TO BE A PLASTIC SURGEON. WE DIDN’T MAKE HIM DO IT AND IF HE WAS SO DISINTERESTED IN HIS CHOSEN CAREER TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE DETAILS THAT ARE NECESSARY TO PREVENT AN INFECTION OR MAKE A MISTAKE THAT MIGHT CAUSE SOMEONES DEATH THEN HE SHOULD HAVE QUIT AND BECAME A TV PERSONALITY SINCE THAT SEEMED TO BE HIS MAIN INTEREST THE LAST FEW YEARS.

I WONDER “ANONYMOUS”, HOW YOU WOULD HAVE FELT HAD YOUR PHYSICIAN TREATED YOU AND YOUR FAMILY THE WAY ADAMS TREATED EMMA AND OUR FAMILY. WOULD YOU JUST STAND THERE AND DO NOTHING?..WOULD YOU TELL YOUR MOTHER OR SISTER OR EVEN YOUR DAUGHTER THAT THEY LOOKED LIKE AN IDIOT IF ADAMS WOULD HAVE DISFIGURED THEM PERMANENTLY AND THEY CRIED OUT OF SHAME?

YOU CALLED MY SISTER STUPID WITHOUT KNOWING ANYTHING ABOUT HER. HOPEFULLY MY NOTE WILL EDUCATE YOU A BIT AND TEACH YOU A LITTLE BIT OF EMPATHY AND THEN MAYBE WHEN YOU TRY TO POST A COMMENT ON SOMEBODY ELSE’S PAIN YOU WONT SOUND SO IGNORANT….

Dan? What the heck are you talking about? Do you even know? Yes in a lot of cases cosmetic surgery is an unnecessary risk; however, breast reduction is sometimes necessary due to back pain, etc. In addition, it doesn’t matter if it is a risk. Walking across the street is a risk; however, we are taught to do it properly - just as Dr. West should have been taught. What does being a man have to do with wanting to make the person who is responsible for his mother’s death pay? After reading your comment - I wonder about your manhood. For real.
