During the lockdown, Dr. Chaudhry made the decision to keep his clinic open, offering non-essential cosmetic procedures despite the restrictions in place. This decision ultimately led to his ban from treating patients. It all started when he performed a £3,500 penis filler operation on a patient, known only as Patient A, who later complained of being left with a misshapen genital area and a lump. To make matters worse, Patient A also claimed that Dr. Chaudhry had shared before and after pictures of his penis on his website without his permission.
The incident came to light when Patient A reported his experience to the General Medical Council in October 2020. It was discovered that Dr. Chaudhry had offered cosmetic treatments as prizes on his social media, using his website PenisFill.co.uk to keep his private clinic running during the pandemic. He even went as far as putting up £1,000 worth of Barbie tip rhinoplasty and lip filler treatments as giveaways to attract more patients.
During the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service, Dr. Chaudhry, also known as "Dr. Sef," was found guilty of serious professional misconduct for carrying out non-essential work during the pandemic and was suspended from practicing medicine for five months. However, he was cleared of allegations of improper treatment towards Patient A and posting his pictures online without consent. The doctor, who drove flashy cars with the license plate "Dr. S3F," ran two cosmetic clinics, Dermis Clinic Ltd and MC Medical Aesthetics Limited, and was even endorsed by former Dragons Den star Duncan Bannatyne.
Patient A had initially contacted Dr. Chaudhry's colleague via WhatsApp, expressing his desire for increased penis girth as his partner was not satisfied, and he had previously undergone a similar procedure in 2017. During the consultation, Patient A was assured that the filler would adapt to his skin, but after the procedure, he noticed that it hadn't hardened and his penis had become misshapen. Dr. Chaudhry suggested injecting more filler for free, but when Patient A returned for a third consultation and procedure, he was met with a raised voice and accusations that he was causing the filler not to harden. Patient A felt that Dr. Chaudhry was trying to find ways to avoid giving him a refund.
In his defense, Dr. Chaudhry denied any wrongdoing and stated that he never raised his voice during the appointment with Patient A. He also claimed that during the pandemic, he viewed his treatments as medical and not non-essential. He further stated that every client who came to his clinic during the pandemic seeking purely cosmetic procedures was advised to come back after the restrictions were lifted. However, the tribunal found his actions to be in direct violation of COVID-19 guidelines and that he had shown no remorse for his actions.
The tribunal also noted that Dr. Chaudhry had been promoting his services by offering aesthetic procedures worth £1,000 as prizes, despite the pandemic and the strict guidelines in place. This, along with his previous disregard for the rules, led to his suspension from practicing medicine. The tribunal reminded itself of Dr. Chaudhry's post, stating that the winner would be announced in 48 hours, which could have potentially encouraged his clients to break COVID-19 guidelines. Despite the context, Dr. Chaudhry showed no signs of remorse and remained unapologetic for his actions.
