California suspends West Bloomfield plastic surgeon's license, the fourth state to act; Michigan hearing set for Nov. 24

California has suspended the medical license of Dr. Ayoub Sayeg, a plastic surgeon with locations in West Bloomfield, Dearborn, Southfield and elsewhere in southeast Michigan, making it the fourth state to act against him this year, WDIV reported Tuesday.

California's suspension took effect Oct. 14 and was based on his suspension or revocation in another state, according to records cited by WDIV.

Four states since July

WDIV reported this timeline:

• Illinois temporarily suspended Sayeg's license July 7, citing what the order called inadequate collaboration with certified registered nurse anesthetists.
• Virginia suspended his license Aug. 5 because of the Illinois proceedings.
• Michigan issued a summary suspension Sept. 28, saying the allegations in its administrative complaint showed he posed an "immediate threat to the public health, safety, or welfare."
• California followed Oct. 14.

The Journal reported the Michigan suspension Oct. 7.

Michigan hearing date

A hearing on whether to lift the Michigan summary suspension is scheduled for Nov. 24 at 8 a.m., unless a state board approves a resolution of the case at its Nov. 18 meeting, WDIV reported. Lawyers told a judge Oct. 20 that they hope to resolve the case before that meeting, according to the station. A complaint hearing had previously been scheduled for Dec. 14.

What Michigan alleges

According to WDIV, the Michigan complaint involves two patients. It alleges Sayeg implanted breast implants 100 cubic centimeters larger than the size agreed on with one patient; that he created two operative reports for another patient's April 2024 face and neck lift, with inconsistencies between them; and that he documented certain eye-related procedures without records showing informed consent or that the procedures had been planned.

These are regulatory allegations, not criminal charges, and the Michigan case has not been decided.

Sayeg's attorney had not responded to the station's requests for comment on the Michigan allegations, WDIV reported. The station said it contacted James Hunter, an attorney representing Sayeg in the hearing, on Oct. 20 and had not heard back.
