Dr. Usha Rajagopal, a top-rated plastic surgeon in San Fransisco, is alleged to have hand in a patient death case. Stick with us to find out if the rumor is true or just a hoax.
Usha Rajagopal is the top name on google search if anyone were to search plastic surgeons in California. Rajagopal has been working in the cosmetic surgery field for about 20 years.
Rajagopal is the Medical Director of the San Francisco Plastic Surgery and Laser Center and a board-certified plastic surgeon. She specializes in cosmetic surgery of the face, breast, and body and conducts all sorts of cosmetic dermatology, skincare, and laser treatments in her office.
Dr. Usha comes under press scrutiny frequently regarding her iffy marketing techniques and legal actions in suing negative commenters. This time, it’s the rumor regarding one of her patient’s death that brought her into the limelight.
Usha Rajagopal Patient Death-What Happened?
Usha Rajagopal is again rumored to have been involved in a Patient Death case.
Previously in 2010, Usha Rajagopal had a tough year defending her business from negative commenters and a rumored patient death.
On September 15, 2010, San Fransisco Weekly published an article Doctoring the Web, where it was revealed that a 35-year-old woman Nooria Aminy undergoing a routine liposuction procedure, died under the doctor’s care. The woman sustained an uncurable brain injury termed “gross negligence” by the medical board.
Similarly, on October 7, 2007, the medical board accused the plastic surgeon of “unprofessional conduct through gross negligence about her patient treatment.” But, rather than challenging the case to a hearing, Rajagopal gave up her right to contest them and accepted three years of probation.
Recently, Dr. Usha’s name has been on the press again. But, the information regarding the intensity of the case is still not available. Like in 2010, it may come under no surprise that the death news remains hidden from the press by the accused doctor and the board.

Usha Rajagopal Case: Name And Identity Of Patient Revealed
The name and identity of the patient concerning the rumored death case have not been revealed yet.
However, the death news of Nooria Aminy, a 35-year-old woman who was put in a “vegetative comatose state” due to Rajagopal’s mishandling in 2010, was buried without strict actions against the surgeon.
The recent news can also be a hoax or attempt to ‘defamation’ as Dr. Usha Rajagopal herself, similar to her previous cases.
Dr. Rajagopal went to the extent of filing a lawsuit to intimidate five individuals into removing their negative online comments related to her plastic surgery practice. This makes the future patients wonder if the shining 5-star reviews on her Yelp business are indeed actual at all.
Regardless of her actions, Dr. Usha is still favored by many in California. This also brings back the accusations of fake reviews and the Google search engine manipulation case against Rajagopal.
