AHPRA to investigate cosmetic surgeon after Four Corner’s claims
Dr Daniel Lanzer is also launching his own independent inquiry into the allegations
The medical regulator has launched an urgent investigation into high-profile cosmetic surgeon Dr Daniel Lanzer in the wake of an ABC expose questioning his practice.
On Wednesday, AHPRA and the Medical Board of Australia released a statement in response to a Four Corners program that showed footage of the dermatologist carrying out procedures on patients.
The regulators said they were “deeply concerned” by the information presented in the episode, called Cosmetic Cowboys.
“[We] expect all registered health practitioners to practise in a safe and professional manner and we will act if we establish that they pose a risk to the public,” they said in a joint statement with the Nursing and Midwifery Board.
