Two Paris surgeons have been banned from practicing medicine after Belgian-Israeli diamond dealer Ehud Arye Laniado died of a heart attack during a penis enlargement procedure at Saint-Honore-Ponthieu clinic.
Guy H, the lead surgeon, regularly treated Laniado multiple times a year in high-cost, out-of-hours cosmetic sessions. Another surgeon covering for him that night was also implicated.
A Paris court suspended Guy H’s licence and handed him a 15-month prison sentence, while the second surgeon received a 12-month suspended sentence. They were fined €50,000 (£43,323) and €20,000 (£17,329) respectively.
Investigators ruled out the injection as the cause of d+ath, but questioned delays in seeking emergency help. Laniado reportedly insisted on the procedure despite abdominal pain and pre-existing ulcers. CPR was attempted but unsuccessful.
Sources note that while shocking, such incidents are not unusual in elite cosmetic surgery circles, where wealthy clients’ demands often push ethical boundaries.
