Controversial cosmetic surgeon surrenders his AHPRA registration
Dr Daniel Lanzer was the focus of a damning Four Corners expose that sparked an investigation into the industry by the medical regulator
Controversial cosmetic surgeon Dr Daniel Lanzer has surrendered his medical registration, less than two months after his surgical practices were questioned in an episode of the ABC’s Four Corners.
In a statement, AHPRA confirmed the specialist dermatologist surrendered his registration on 2 December.
However, it stressed his retirement from medicine would not stop an investigation into the conduct of the entrepreneurial doctor, who owns clinics in four capital cities.
Dr Lanzer’s fast dive into retirement began in late October when Four Corners focused on him during an episode on what it called “alarming practices” in the cosmetic surgery industry.
