 A TikTok plastic surgeon known as Dr Roxy has had her medical licence permanently revoked after livestreaming botched liposuction. Dr Katharine Roxanne Grawe, from Ohio, lost her fight to regain the right to practice her profession yesterday after the state medical board ruled to permanently revoke it, MailOnline reported. She was first struck off in November 2022, after the board cited 'clear and convincing' evidence that her practice presented 'a danger of immediate and serious harm to the public'. The board noted a specific instance in which a patient had to receive medical attention after undergoing liposuction, Brazilian buttlift and skin-tightening procedures by the TikTok star. The patient was sent to the emergency room, where she suffered an episode of hepatic encephalopathy, resulting in loss of brain function when a damaged liver fails to remove toxins from the blood. Surgeons later found her bowel had been perforated and she had contracted a serious bacterial infection. As a result, the woman was forced to undergo multiple procedures to remove dead tissue, plus open abdomen and skin grafting.
