LA Plastic Surgeon Dubbed 'Mr Laguna' is hit with Slew of Allegations by Patients over 'Botched Jobs That Left One Woman Dead' - as Others say they were Filmed NAKED and Unconscious Without Their Permission
A
Los Angeles plastic surgeon who dubbed himself 'Mr Laguna' has been hit with a series of scathing accusations by patients who claim his work left them with scars and life-threatening infections - while some believe they were filmed naked while unconscious.
Dr. Arian Mowlavi promised hourglass figures and perfect 'pop' butts at his Laguna Beach plastic surgery clinic. He even described himself as 'one of the top body sculptors around the world,' in his book, High Definition
Liposuction.
The UC Berkeley graduate, who has over 80,000 followers on
Instagram, is facing a slew of accusations - from negligence to botched jobs - from dozens of patients, backed up by former staff who reported his concerning behavior in the practice.
Dozens of his former patients now allege, in a total of five malpractice lawsuits, that he was conducting botched surgeries, leaving them with unexpected scars and infections, and also recorded them while unconscious without their consent.
Mowlavi would allegedly make women strip completely nude for examinations, before touching their bodies without permission.

Dozens of his former patients now allege, in a total of five malpractice lawsuits, that he was conducting botched surgeries, leaving them with unexpected scars and infections, and also recorded them while unconscious without their consent
In December 2021, more than 30 patients filed a class action lawsuit against Mowlavi - claiming that some were left with life-threatening infections and permanent altercations, some made without their consent.
One woman, identified in the class action lawsuit as B.C, claims she went to Mowlavi for a breast lift and a mini tummy tuck - but the doctor started talking about her labia, saying: 'Doesn't that bother you? We are just going to cut the lips and stitch it up.'
One 60-year-old woman, who had an appointment with the doctor in November 2020, told the
Daily Beast that he pressured her to get more procedures done when all she wanted was lipo under her bra line.
She was left in excruciating pain after the procedure - and she collapsed days later. The woman was experiencing multi-system organ failure in her kidneys, liver, lungs, and heart.
Another victim, who is identified in legal filings as C.S.J., suffered a collapsed lung and required hospitalization after her surgery with Mowlavi. One 16-year-old girl was left with severe burns - while three other women developed MRSA, the suit said.
She claimed that Mowlavi had made her to 'get naked' for examination and 'aggressively' grabbed her body without permission in 2021. She said she was left with a hip-to-hip scar.
California Medical Board has accused the doctor, who charges tens of thousands of dollars for procedures, of not even performing some of them himself. They claim Mowlavi had unlicensed technicians do some liposuctions for him.
Court documents claim that two unlicensed technicians performed liposuction on a patient, Irlanda Swarthout, in 2018. She passed out five hours after the procedure, and was later found unresponsive at her Orange County home.
She was rushed to the emergency room, and died two days later. According to the board, her cause of death was internal bleeding that caused her heart to stop, cutting off oxygen to her brain.
In the class action suit, one woman identified as K.M said that neither Mowlavi nor his staff ever told her about being photographed or filmed. But she found her before and after-surgery body plastered over his social media afterward.
Mowlavi recorded her, saying 'this woman had no magic, no pop, had a square masculine shape,' before showing her transformation. She said she did not consent to being filmed, 'much less be insulted,' the suit claims.
Plastered all over his Instagram stories are his patients' bodies - who are still lying on operation beds, with procedure scars, heads covered, and arms sprawled out while under anesthesia and unconscious.
One sales representative who used to work for the doctor said she saw Mowlavi call a patient 'so hot,' and then slap her butt twice while she was under anesthesia.
A registered nurse who worked briefly at Mowlavi's clinic said in court documents that he saw Mowlavi 'rip out [a patient's breathing] tube and throw it across the room' during surgery because he was frustrated with the patient.

he definitely does not need to be practicing.. that’s like the stories you hear of women going to Mexico for ‘affordable’ plastic surgery.. that’s a very bad idea
