The plastic surgeon who operated on rapper Kanye West’s mother before she died in 2007 has been sentenced to a year in a Northern California jail.

Dr. Jan Adams pleaded no contest to misdemeanor drunken driving last year.

The California Highway Patrol says his Jaguar was spotted early June 26 traveling the wrong way on Interstate 680 near Cordelia.

Adams’ blood alcohol level was .20 percent.

Solano County Court Commissioner Ray Wieser sentenced the 54-year-old surgeon, author and TV personality on Monday. He’ll get credit for eight days he previously was jailed.

Adams performed breast reduction, tummy tuck and liposuction procedures on Donda West a day before she died.

An autopsy blamed heart disease coupled with complications from the surgery.
