A Greenwood Village plastic surgeon has been arrested in connection to the death of one of his patients.
On Aug. 1, 2019, Emmalyn Nguyen, who was 18 at the time, underwent breast augmentation surgery at Colorado Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery. After being administered anesthesia, she went into cardiac arrest, according to the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office. She fell into a coma and died 14 months later.
Kim faces two felony criminal charges- first degree aggravated assault and criminally negligent homicide. He was booked and released after posting bond. "She was found by a different nurse in cardiac arrest," David Woodruff, attorney for the family, told Denver7 in October 2020. "Unfortunately, he [Dr. Kim] then directed staff, it looks like, to not call 911 for close to six hours," Woodruff said."You just don't see mistakes like this that are this egregious, not in 20 years of practice."
