About The Plastic Surgery Center
The Plastic Surgery Center, with over 20 locations primarily in New Jersey and New York, serves thousands of patients seeking both surgical and non-surgical treatments. The team consists of 32 surgeons, supported by a staff of over 100 employees, making it one of the largest practices of its kind in the region.
What Happened?
On November 4, 2024, The Plastic Surgery Center’s contracted billing company detected suspicious activity within its network. An investigation revealed that an unknown actor accessed certain systems and exfiltrated files on that date. The company completed a detailed review of the affected systems on April 4, 2025, and determined that sensitive information belonging to patients was impacted.
Information exposed:
- Name
- Date of Birth
- Driver’s License and/or Passport Number
- Social Security Number
- Taxpayer ID
- Financial Account and Payment Card Information
- Biometric Data
- Medical and Health Insurance
The incident was reported to the Vermont Attorney General’s office on April 21, 2025.
Your Rights and Next Steps
If you received a notice from The Plastic Surgery Center, your information may have been compromised. Here’s what you can do:
- Enroll in free credit monitoring and identity restoration services: The Plastic Surgery Center is offering these services through IDX for up to 24 months at no cost. You must enroll by July 18, 2025. Follow the instructions in your notification letter.
- Monitor your financial accounts and credit reports: Regularly review your statements and credit reports for any suspicious activity. You are entitled to one free credit report annually from each of the three major credit bureaus
- Consider placing a fraud alert or credit freeze: You can place a fraud alert or credit freeze on your credit file for extra protection. This makes it harder for someone to open new accounts in your name.
- Report suspicious activity: If you notice any unauthorized activity, report it immediately to your bank, credit card company, or the credit bureaus.
- File a police report if you are a victim of identity theft: This can help you recover from identity theft and provide documentation for future claims.
