‘Cosmetic Surgeon’ Who Used Liposuction Fat as Fuel for His Car on the Run Now as Patients Sue Him

by Gopalan on December 24, 2008 at 9:26 AM Lifestyle News

A radiologist-turned-‘cosmetic surgeon’ who boasted of using fat extracted from patients to run his SUV is himself on the run now. Patients complaining of side-effects are now suing him. Incidentally he was practicing on the famed upmarket Beverley Hills in Los Angeles.

A woman who suffered heavily at the hands of the now absconding Alan Brittner has a website narrating her woes. http://www.mydralanbittnerstory.com/

“My name is Susan. I am 50 years old.

“Women get plastic and cosmetic surgery for many reasons. Some are searching for the perfect body and the fountain of youth. Some want to correct congenital abnormalities. Some want to correct areas that are far enough out of sync that they inhibit healthy living and the ability to buy clothes that fit. I fall into the last category. None of us expect to look worse afterward….. I looked toward liposuction for some help. Vain? Foolish? Perhaps. But, improving my confidence and mobility seemed worth it… I made an appointment with Dr. Alan Bittner in Beverly Hills in September 2007. My reasoning? A doctor with an office on the famous Rodeo Drive was more likely to be responsible about his work.”

But it proved a disastrous experience for Susan. Fat was sucked off at as many as eight points, and it was Bittner’s assistants who carried out the procedure. The ‘cosmetician’ apparently wouldn’t care to bother himself with finer details and vanished after conducting the initial tests and deciding what should be done.
