Dental plastic surgery Ambitious Doc Goes from Cosmetic Dentistry to Plastic Surgery

A Seattle dentist and oral surgeon with a history of malpractice suits is facing another one — this time for allegedly leaving a young woman "disfigured" after he performed a breast reduction on the patient, then only 15 years old.

According to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Dr. Thomas Laney was "doing full-body cosmetic surgeries without having done a residency or fellowship in the subject."

Both a licensed medical doctor and licensed dentist, Dr. Laney used to offer cosmetic surgical procedures such as liposuction. However, his lawyer claims is no longer practicing plastic surgery.
