A recently released video, originally from 2018, showed Dr. Windell Boutte, a board-certified dermatologist, posting over 20 YouTube videos of herself singing, rapping, and dancing during cosmetic procedures with patients under anesthesia, including custom lyrics to “Bad and Boujee” and assistants as backup dancers.
As a consequence, five malpractice lawsuits were pending; four settled. Patients alleged infections, disfigurement, and brain damage. In one case, Icilma Cornelius suffered cardiac arrest during a tummy tuck, leading to permanent brain damage requiring full-time care by her son.
For context, the Georgia Composite Medical Board has had complaints since 2016; Dr. DeLoach cited licensing rules that allow broad practice. Boutte’s office did not comment on the tragic and unprofessional situation.
Writing at the time of the initial allegations, Dr. Dan DeLoach, a board-certified plastic surgeon and chair of the Georgia Composite Medical Board stated, “You don’t want to rush to judgment and end up making an error that could be very professionally harmful,” adding, “When you are licensed to practice medicine in Georgia, you’re licensed to practice medicine and surgery. It says so right on your license.”
Susan Witt, the attorney representing three women who claim their lives have been changed by Boutte, said that one of her clients, Icilma Cornelius, stated, “While [Boutte’s staff] did start CPR, by the time the first responders arrived, she was essentially dead. Her pupils were fixed and dilated.”
Ojay Liburd, the son of Icilma Cornelius, added, “I have to help her in the bathroom, brush her teeth, prepare her meals, prepare her medication, of course changing her clothes. Everything we’re used to doing for ourselves, I have to do for her.”
“When I first saw those videos, I was completely shocked,” he added, explaining that, “My mother’s future is mainly bed rest, wheelchair sitting.” Later, he stated, “It just seems like there is a lot of arrogance for her to say I didn’t do anything wrong.”

Shockingly, Dr. Windell Davis-Boutte, in an interview after license suspension, declared, earning herself widespread condemnation, “Would I go back and do anything differently? No, because it was something unforeseen and unpreventable.”
Eventually, the Georgia Composite Medical Board issued a suspension order, which called her a “threat to public safety” and said she “failed to conform to the minimal standards” in seven patients’ cases, including Icilma Cornelius.
Reposting the story, a viral post from this year added, “An Atlanta-based plastic surgeon faced multiple malpractice lawsuits for negligence after she was dancing and singing while performing surgery. One of the lawsuits comes from a family that claims the doctor left their mother brain-damaged.”

Shocked, one commentator stated, “The fact that this even has to be said is insane. You’re literally operating on someone’s body and treating it like content? This isn’t negligence, it’s a complete disregard for human life.”
