ABOUT

Dr. Daniel Lanzer was a celebrity cosmetic surgeon who was extremely popular on social media. He resigned as a medical practitioner in 2021 after investigations were launched against him in response to complaints from patients who were traumatised after being treated and operated on by Lanzer and his associates. Aronov also faced serious allegations after the investigations against Dr. Daniel Lanzer were launched. At first, he denied all of the allegations and labelled them as “misinformation,” but the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency barred him from performing cosmetic or any type of surgical procedures, including minor surgeries, in 2021.

Aronov, like many others, transitioned into the lucrative field of cosmetic surgery, which is a nearly billion-dollar industry in Australia. He was previously associated with Dr Daniel Lanzer and faced harsh criticism after a joint investigation led by Four Corners, The Age, and the Sydney Morning Herald revealed the unseen horrors behind the cosmetic surgeons’ celebrity.
