‘That man has to be stopped’: Dr. Ben Brown patients allege horror stories
Jane Hawkins first consulted with plastic surgeon Dr. Ben Brown to discuss removing her breast implants and to have what’s called a mini-mommy makeover, including a tummy tuck and using fat from her body to rebuild her breasts.
Hawkins underwent a six-hour surgery in November 2022. She awoke to find Brown had completed the procedures she consented to and one procedure she said she had not wanted. Hawkins said Brown put about five pounds of fat in her backside.
Soon, the sutures in her stomach became loose. The wound, by the time she went to the emergency room was nine-inches-wide by four-inches-across, according to another doctor.
