Christopher Inglefield, a surgeon who streams his surgeries on Snapchat, had his medical license suspended after his patient went blind in one eye due to complications from a facial feminization surgery, according to the Daily Mail.
Inglefield specializes in transgender surgeries including genital surgery and a host of cosmetic procedures altering the face and body to resemble the opposite sex, according to the website of his employer, the London Transgender Clinic. The Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) determined Inglefield had failed to report his patient’s vision loss to medical regulators, according to the Daily Mail.
Facial feminization surgery involves shaving down facial bones to make a male patient present as female. A patient who underwent the procedure with Inglefield in August 2018 completely lost vision in one eye, and regulators have said the doctor falsely claimed he had reported the incident in a meeting that November, according to the Daily Mail. MPTS labeled the action “dishonest” and suspended his medical license for 28 days.
