Dancing plastic surgeon who cut woman ‘like Freddie Krueger’ left patient brain-damaged

A plastic surgeon who made videos of herself singing and dancing around the operating theater as she performed procedures was accused of leaving a patient with ‘catastrophic’ brain damage.

Dr. Windell Davis Boutte settled the tummy-tuck lawsuit as it emerged she uploaded over 20 clips of herself gyrating next to patients while singing along to ‘Cut It’ by O.T. Genasis, and even sliced some open for the camera.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that Icilma Cornelius, 55, suffered heart failure after being cajoled into having a pre-wedding tummy tuck at Boutte’s clinic in Lilburn, Ga during February 2016.

Her heart stopped eight hours into the $11,000 procedure, but Boutte’s office was not equipped to handle the medical emergency, meaning they had to call 911. Paramedics restarted Cornelius’ heart, but were delayed in putting her into the ambulance because Boutte had to suture her skin to try and prevent her open wounds becoming infected.

They hit a further snag when the stretcher the stricken woman was on would not fit in an elevator, forcing them to carry it down the stairs. When she finally made it to hospital, doctors diagnosed Cornelius was permanently brain-damaged from lack of oxygen, leaving the woman severely disabled facing a lifetime of care.

The lawsuit against dematologist Boutte was filed by her son Ojay Liburd, 26, who said: ‘She just wanted to be perfect for her wedding dress. ‘She had everything going for her.’ Sisters Mitzi McFarland and Kristine Dolly, who also filed a suit against Boutte, said they visited her hoping to have a laser lipo procedure offered on her website.

However, they instead underwent traditional invasive liposuction and were appalled at the results, with McFarland saying telling WSBTV2: ‘It’s more like Freddie Krueger cut my stomach.’

Dolly added: ‘I don’t feel like a normal person. I just feel deformed.’ Another patient told how she woke up after surgery in a hotel room with a McDonalds sandwich in her hand. Boutte, who has settled five malpractice suits in the last four months, with four more pending, is still working as a cosmetic surgeon.
