Top Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon Dead From COVID After Patient Coughs In His Face

Dr. Payman Simoni, a top Beverly Hills plastic surgeon featured on the Emmy award-winning daytime talk show “The Doctors”, has died of COVID-19 after an unknowingly infected patient coughed on him. 

Dr. Simoni was highly sought after plastic surgeon. His staff screened patients so he could continue working through the pandemic. He did not want cosmetic procedures to wait.

Temperatures were taken and each patient had to fill out a questionnaire about her health. Sadly, that wasn’t allegedly enough to protect him. 

California Plastic Surgeon Dies Of COVID-19

California has been extraordinarily strict with shutdown orders and operating limitations during the pandemic, causing the shutdown of many small businesses. 

But, Beverly Hills has permitted cosmetic surgery to continue.

This leaves many people questioning the priorities of the Democratic state that is choosing business winners and losers. Many restaurants cannot open, but people can still get plastic surgery.

Dr. Simoni’s death will likely add fuel to that fire.

Dr. Simoni was giving the patient in question a lip injection. She obviously was not wearing a mask during the procedure.

While Dr. Simoni was above the woman, she coughed directly into his face. He was wearing a mask, but it apparently wasn’t enough to protect him family sources told TMZ.  

A few days after her cosmetic procedure, she contacted Dr. Simoni’s office to inform the staff she tested positive for COVID-19.

Dr. Simoni’s family told TMZ that he then went into quarantine and soon began experiencing coronavirus symptoms. 

From TMZ: 

Dr. Simoni then went into quarantine and began experiencing symptoms — shortness of breath, etc — and in short order, he was on a ventilator at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. We’re told Dr. Simoni was eventually placed in a medically induced coma as his lungs started failing. He died Friday from a brain hemorrhage.

Dr. Simoni was such a highly sought after plastic surgeon that he was featured on longstanding medical talk show “The Doctors.”

What a tragic and unnecessary loss. What’s more, this infected patient is hardly the only one getting plastic surgery at this time.

Hugh Hefner’s widow Crystal also chose to have fat transfer during the pandemic.

That decision almost cost her her life and now she is speaking out against vanity driven surgeries.

While Crystal didn’t contract COVID-19, she almost died from this plastic surgery.
