LAS VEGAS (AP) - State health officials say a Las Vegas doctor's office has been performing outpatient surgeries without a license.

Health inspectors announced Friday that a cease and desist letter was issued this week to the Skin Body Institute operated by Dr. Sean Su.

Investigators say they were tipped off to problems at the office after a breast augmentation performed by Su resulted in a patient being hospitalized last month with an infection.

A call to Su's medical practice was not immediately returned.

During a later inspection, investigators say they discovered the office was stocked with expired and unlabeled medications. They also found problems with infection control practices.
