A California plastic surgeon who was found dead in a backyard swimming pool<\/a> last week lost her medical license after a botched tummy tuck left a patient dead \u2014 with newly surfaced records revealing the woman died just one day after her cosmetic procedure.<\/p>\n

Former surgeon Sarwa Aldoori, 71, was identified by the Kern County Coroner after her body was discovered Tuesday evening at a home in Bakersfield.<\/p>\n

Cops said the investigation remains active, with the cause, manner and circumstances surrounding her death still pending.<\/p>\n

The discovery comes more than two years after California regulators permanently revoked her medical license after she refused to participate in a court-ordered probation program tied to the patient\u2019s death, according to California Medical Board documents.<\/p>\n

The records show Aldoori was charged with multiple violations, including gross negligence, performing surgery, and administering anesthesia in an unaccredited surgical center.<\/p>\n

The disciplinary case centered on a 43-year-old woman who sought a consultation with Aldoori and her husband, Dr. Yakdan Alqaisi, on March 23, 2016, for a tummy tuck procedure<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Aldoori was one of two physicians at Bella Health and Beauty, a plastic surgery practice in northeast Bakersfield. Google Maps<\/p>\n

Aldoori performed the surgery on April 13, 2016, while Alqaisi served as the anesthesiologist, according to the records.<\/p>\n

The following day, the woman\u2019s family called 911 after finding her unconscious and without a pulse. She was taken to Mercy Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.<\/p>\n

The Kern County Coroner determined the woman died from a fat embolism caused by the surgery, with adult respiratory distress syndrome listed as a contributing factor.<\/p>\n

State regulators previously alleged Aldoori did not have sufficient training to perform the tummy tuck procedure.<\/p>\n

Her disciplinary troubles began after accusations were filed in 2021 over the fatal surgery. Bella Health and Beauty<\/p>\n

Aldoori, who spent roughly 35 years practicing as an OB-GYN, was one of two physicians at Bella Health and Beauty, a plastic surgery practice<\/a> in northeast Bakersfield specializing in women\u2019s health, wellness and cosmetic procedures.<\/p>\n

Her disciplinary troubles began after accusations were filed in 2021 over the fatal surgery. She was initially placed on a seven-year probation, but Medical Board records show regulators later revoked her license<\/a> after she refused to comply with the probation program.<\/p>\n

The revocation became effective in July 2022 before Aldoori ultimately surrendered her California physician\u2019s license in March 2024.<\/p>\n

Authorities have not said whether foul play is suspected in Aldoori\u2019s death and the investigation remains ongoing.<\/p>\n
