The plastic surgeon, who reportedly performed surgery on Wild ‘N Out star Jacky Oh before her sudden death, had a history of complaints from patients, with one alleging she was left “mutilated,” according to Page Six.
Oh died at age 32 on May 31.
While her cause of death has not yet been released, multiple media outlets reported she visited Miami-based plastic surgeon, Dr. Zachary Okhah, for a “mommy makeover” right before she died.
In a since-deleted Instagram post, Oh — whose real name was Jacklyn Smith — shared a picture of herself wearing a medical gown as she stood next to Okhah, who was dressed in scrubs.

Instagram account @surgeonmade_curves and Hollywood Unlocked both captured the post before it was removed. It included the caption, “Getting ready for my mommy makeover with Dr. Zach!! Stay tuned to my YouTube for the full reveal!”
Following Oh’s death, new details emerged about Okhah.
The physician, who is known as a liposuction and “BBL specialist,” reportedly filed lawsuits against some of his former patients over negative reviews they posted online about his work, Page Six reported.
In July 2021, Okhah sued patient Leila Penn for more than $30,000 after she left a RealSelf review alleging she had been left “mutilated” after visiting the surgeon, according to court documents obtained by the outlet.
Okhah countered by saying Penn’s claims were false. The surgeon dismissed the lawsuit in December 2021.
The doctor filed another lawsuit against a patient named Kyla Neirenburg in August 2021, who claimed in a Google review that “happy patients” of his “don’t exist.”
Social media users are calling for Florida authorities to investigate Okhah following Jacky Oh’s death.
The actress, model and comedian was mom to three young children and the longtime partner of fellow Wild ‘N Out performer DC Young Fly.
A spokesperson for BET Media Group confirmed her death in a June 1 statement.
“We are deeply saddened by the passing of Jacklyn Smith, known to the world as Jacky Oh, a talented Wild N’ Out family member whose impact will be forever treasured and missed,” the statement read. “Jacky Oh was a loving friend and beloved colleague of the Wild N’ Out cast throughout five seasons.”
Her famlly also released a statement, saying they were “still processing this very tragic and unexpected loss.”
