Beloved Beverly Hills plastic surgeon to the stars, Dr. Ronald Moy, has died aged 68.
Moy, who was a renowned doctor with celebrity fans including Lea Michele and Christina Aguilera, passed away due to complications from neck surgery, according to TMZ.
The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner reported that he passed away on June 23, and the death was ruled as accidental.
Daily Mail reached out to his offices for comment.
Moy specialized in cosmetic and plastic surgery, per his website, and often performed procedures like face lifts, liposuction, laser skin resurfacing, eye lifts, and Mohs Micrographic Surgery.
His practice was called Moy Fincher Chipps, which he led with co-owners Dr. Edgar Fincher, Dr. Lisa Chipps, and his daughter, Lauren.
The accomplished doctor had an extensive and impressive medical background, completing his dermatology residency training at UCLA, and then a Facial Cosmetic and Mohs Micrographic Surgery Fellowship training at the University of Pittsburgh Center for Health Services.
Previously, he was a professor at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, and served on the Editorial Board of the Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery, as well as authoring more than 200 articles about cosmetic and plastic surgery.
He had recently won the Samuel J. Stegman, MD Award for Distinguished Service, which honors those who have made remarkable contributions to the dermatology field.
He was also a member of the American College of Mohs Surgery, American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, and American Board of Facial Cosmetic Surgery.
In addition, Moy was the former president of Los Angeles County Medical Association, Bay District and is past Editor-in-Chief of the Dermatologic Surgery Journal.
He also dedicated his time to serving patients at the Venice Family Clinic, a community health center, for over 20 years.
Over the past few years, he had grown quite a following on social media with his practice having over 21,000 followers on Instagram.
In a video posted in May, he spoke about the importance of using sunscreen.
He recommended using a sunscreen that contained DNA repair enzymes in it.
'It's never too late to protect your skin — but sometimes, protection isn't enough,' the caption of the post read.
'Sunscreen and UPF clothing are essential, but if you've spent years under the sun (hello, golfers), prevention needs a partner: repair,' the message continued.
'That's where ingredients like DNA repair enzymes come in — targeting existing sun damage at the cellular level to support healthier, more resilient skin. Think of it as sunscreen's smarter sidekick.'
In 2016, Variety reported that both Lea Michele and Christina Aguilera were big fans of Dr. Ronald Moy's DNA Facial treatment.
The facial was offered exclusively at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills.
It used 'patented DNA EGF Renewal products to reduce plump skin and boost collagen production,' and Moy said himself that it delivered the 'ultimate red carpet glow.'
His office had three locations in California - Beverly Hills, Encino and Torrance.
