Patient Theft Allegations in Dr. Frank Ryan’s Death

A Beverly Hills plastic surgeon is trying to “steal” the patients of Dr. Frank Ryan – the celeb doc who died in a car accident last month — this according to several of Dr. Ryan’s former patients.

One month after Dr. Ryan died on Pacific Coast Highway, many of his patients received emails from the office of Dr. Gary Motykie — explaining that several of Ryan’s staffers have moved to his “team.” The email also includes an invitation to an open house at his office.

But several of Dr. Ryan’s patients are pissed that Motykie was privy to their contact information — and fired back emails saying things like:

– “I have NEVER met you, nor have I ever authorized you to use my contact information for YOU or anyone else other than Dr Ryan! This is a total breach of confidentiality”

– “This soliciting for business is completely unethical”

– “Dr Ryan would be FURIOUS! Shame on you for trying to steal Dr Ryan’s patients”

While it might be tacky, officials at the Department of Health and Human Services tell TMZ that it’s not a violation of privacy laws to share contact information “as long as it’s for treatment purposes or a doctor referral” — and officials tell us this situation seems to fall under those parameters.

A rep for Dr. Motykie tells TMZ, “The assertion that Dr. Motykie has illegally solicited Dr. Ryan’s former patients is untrue.”

Heidi Montag is terrified her breasts will harden

The former ‘Hills‘ star –  who famously underwent 10 cosmetic procedures in one day, including having her chest increased to a huge G-cup – gives her breasts regular massages to keep the implants soft and has urged other surgically-enhanced women to follow her lead.

She tweeted: “Giving myself a soft tissue breast massage. Ladies we have to keep those implants soft.”

The 23-year-old beauty also revealed that out of all of the cosmetic surgery she had, having her ears pinned back was the most painful.

She tweeted: “Warning: to anyone who is thinking about getting their ears pinned. I learned after the fact it is the most painful surgery a person can get.”

Heidi recently admitted that she wishes she could reverse her numerous surgeries but fears she will never be able to undo the effects of her operations after her surgeon, Dr. Frank Ryan, died in a car accident in August.

She said: “I feel trapped in my own body. There’s just no fixing it. Dr. Ryan knows the work he did, he knows everything.”

The blonde star – who wears nose tape every day because she is terrified it will cave in – claims to feel “crushed” by her breast implants and is desperate to have them reduced.

She recently admitted: “My boobs are crushing me. My body’s still getting used to them and I have major anxiety about it. I was taking painkillers but they weren’t working so I stopped. It hurt either way.

“I’m desperate to go back to normal. I’m downgrading and going a little smaller, to a D or a double D.

“I’m obsessed with fitness but it’s impossible to work out with these boobs. It’s heartbreaking. I can’t live an everyday life.”
