A Texas-based plastic surgeon, renowned for his “precision and artistry” and exceptional patient care, is facing serious allegations after reportedly conducting surgery while under the influence.

Dr. Azul Shirazali Jaffer, 50, has been indicted on a felony charge in Fort Bend County for allegedly performing a surgical procedure while intoxicated, as reported by the Sugar Land Police Department.

The incident reportedly occurred in August, where Jaffer is accused of operating on a patient after consuming alcohol. However, it remains unclear if the impairment was due to alcohol or drugs. With over two decades of experience, his website touts him as a top-rated surgeon based in Houston.

“Dr. Azul Jaffer has always been dedicated to providing highly personalized plastic surgery services that greatly improve patients’ lives while ensuring unmatched care,” states his website. “Recognized for his precision and artistry as a double board-certified plastic surgeon, we promise each patient receives the utmost care in facial, breast, and body procedures.”

The website further emphasizes Jaffer’s commitment to offering natural-looking results tailored to individual desires, with safety and satisfaction as top priorities. However, this isn’t the first time Jaffer has faced allegations of medical misconduct.

Earlier this year, Jaffer was accused in a lawsuit of sexually assaulting a patient in a recovery room after a breast augmentation procedure in 2022. Court records show he was sued for assault, sexual assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence, and gross negligence.

Another case was filed by the victim in 2022 with similar allegations, but the woman asked a court to dismiss it before filing her most recent suit this year, which is still pending. A Texas trial court and court of appeals denied Jaffer’s motion to throw out the first case last year.

“Maestas alleges that she woke up in the recovery room to Dr. Jaffer pressing his penis against her feet, rubbing her … with his ungloved hand then putting her fingers in her mouth,” court documents state.

Jaffer’s office declined to comment when reached by Law&Crime on Tuesday. A lawyer representing the alleged assault victim told the Houston Chronicle that police have been investigating her claims against Jaffer. The attorney, Tony Buzbee, says two other alleged victims have come forward with similar claims.

“Our civil case is ongoing,” Buzbee told the Chronicle.
