A medical tribunal in Manchester, the United Kingdom is grilling a Nigerian cosmetic doctor, Oluwafemi ‘Tijion’ Esho, over an alleged sexual intercourse with a patient in exchange for free botox.

Botox injections are shots that use a toxin to prevent a muscle from moving for a limited period, which is used to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles, Daily Mail reports.

The British-Nigerian cosmetic surgeon, who has appeared on several popular TV programmes, was said to have admitted to an improper emotional relationship with the patient.

The woman, who is OnlyFans model, referred to as Patient A, earlier claimed she got free botox in return for sex at Esho’s clinic. She also alleged that they exchanged “inappropriate” sexual messages on Instagram.

During a recent hearing, the Medical Tribunal Practitioners Service (MPTS) found Esho exchanged toxin treatment for sex with the woman.

According to Daily Mail, the 42-year-old doctor, who has several celebrity clients, had told the tribunal he never had any physical sexual contact with Patient A.

But the panel, during sitting in Manchester, insisted Esho had sexual intercourse with the female patient at his clinic in Newcastle 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 Patient A to be vulnerable because of her profession.

In response, Esho, who is the founder of the Esho Clinic, which also has locations in London, Liverpool and Dubai, said he was “disappointed” with the MPTS’ ruling.

He insisted that he only exchanged “inappropriate” sexual messages on Instagram but never had any physical sexual contact with the lady, but, however, apologised for his conduct.

“I am disappointed that the MPTS has today found against me in relation to the charges which I denied,” he wrote on Instagram.

“Throughout the hearing and investigation, with which I have cooperated fully, I stressed that I deeply regretted the mistakes which I made in engaging in communications with Patient A, and I admitted to the charges which related to those serious errors of judgement.

“I am truly sorry for those actions, and apologise to everyone I let down as a result. However, I have always been clear that whilst my conduct in communicating with Patient A was wrong, I repeat categorically that it never crossed over into any physical sexual contact.

“Whilst I respect the MPTS and the process, I do not agree with its decision. My life’s work has been and will remain focused on helping people. I remain dedicated fully to this purpose. I am incredibly grateful to my patients and friends who supported me throughout this incredibly difficult period.”

The panel will reconvene later this month to establish if Esho’s misconduct will endanger his fitness to practice.
