The Plastic Surgeon who operated on Kanye West’s mother has surrendered his license to practice medicine in the state of California, according to mtvnews.com.

The doctor performed a liposuction and breast reduction surgery on West’s mother in November of 2007. Donda West died of heart failure after returning to her L.A. home the next day after the procedures.

“A series of complaints were filed against Mr. Adams, but he chose to surrender his license instead of contest them,” California Medical Board spokeswoman Candis Cohen told the site.

The doctor was a Harvard graduate who once had his own television show. The cited complaints against him include charges of driving under the influence and failure to pay child support.

Dr. Adams maintains that there were no complications during the surgeries of Donda West. The autopsy reports showed that West left the medical clinic several hours after the procedures and was left unattended in her home with heavy bandages and a prescription for pain killers.

“As far as I’m concerned … at least the autopsy report suggests nothing went on during surgery, nothing went on during recovery,” Dr. Adams told CNN’s Larry King in January 2008. Several months earlier, the plastic surgeon had walked off the set during King’s live broadcast, saying, “I’m going to apologize to you because I think I’m taking up your airtime, but I will not be on the show and I will not discuss any of that. I’m going to honor their wishes.”
