Michigan has suspended the medical license of plastic surgeon Ayoub Sayeg, MD, following a similar action in Illinois. The suspension comes after procedures he participated in were linked to eight patient deaths.
A complaint in the Michigan case concluded that Sayeg posed an "immediate threat to the public health, safety, or welfare." The Illinois license was suspended earlier, and Michigan has now taken its own regulatory action.
The roundup did not provide further details on the specific procedures or deaths, but the consecutive state actions highlight the seriousness of the allegations.
