A Nigerian cosmetic doctor based in the United Kingdom, UK, Oluwafemi Tijion Esho, has lost his licence to practise for sexually harassing a patient.
Esho demanded sex from a female patient in return for a Botox injection.
Esho, a popular TV cosmetic doctor, confessed to an improper emotional relationship with the woman whom he exchanged “inappropriate” sexual messages on Instagram.
Daily Mail reports that the 42-year-old doctor had told a medical tribunal that he never had any physical sexual contact with the patient, who is an OnlyFans model.
But, an MPTS panel, sitting in Manchester, ruled Esho did have sexual intercourse with the patient at his clinic in Newcastle upon Tyne in 2021 and administered Botox free of charge.
The tribunal also ruled that the doctor told the woman he “could get away with giving her Botox in exchange for sexual services”.
The panel found that the overall conduct of the doctor was sexually motivated, but it did not find the patient to be vulnerable because of her profession.
Hence, the tribunal found Esho’s fitness to practise was impaired due to his misconduct and as a result ruled that his name should be removed from the medical register.
Esho is the founder of the Esho Clinic, which also has locations in London, Liverpool and Dubai, and has a host of celebrity clients.
