Our customer Michelle, a married mother of 4, recently completed her consultation for a breast augmentation with The Harley Medical Group and was given a price quote of £4275 GBP (Great Britain Pound). On Nov 10^th, when our company attempted to wire The Harley London Clinic £4275 GBP, they refused to take payment because the funds were raised on MyFreeImplants.com. After several attempts on our behalf to contact the office manager and receiving no response, The Harley London Clinic informed the patient Michelle that she would need to find someone else to complete her surgery.

Since 2005, MyFreeImplants.com has funded over 70 breast augmentations in the UK. Not one of those surgeons has ever refused to take our payment. We find it ironic that The Harley Medical Group refused to complete the surgery for a married mother of 4, but had no problem accepting payment from admitted drug addict Amy Winehouse, just one month ago.

The good news is Michelle was able to easily find another clinic that was more than happy to work with her. Although the actions of The Harley Group are not illegal, they are highly discriminatory and we feel the public should be aware. If you agree, feel free to contact the surgery coordinator Karen: chelmsford@harleymedical.com, who is responsible for denying our payment. If you choose to do so, we urge you to be professional in your complaint as you represent a community of thousands.

In a new “wrinkle”, the Senate health-reform legislation aims to tax people who get elective cosmetic medical procedures. The 5% tax is expected to raise an estimated $5.8 billion over 10 years to help pay for the newly proposed $849 billion heath care plan. The cosmetic surgery industry responded by calling the tax discriminatory against women, who are the big customers for cosmetic procedures.

I’m curious if anyone has an experience with the type of contraption?

Starting on January 1, we will be updating the policy regarding the time Hall of Fame women have to use funds, from 2 years to 15 months (to account for a 9-month pregnancy + 6-months for breast feeding). We have listened to arguments from both sides and we feel this is a fair compromise. This time period also seems to be the medical consensus.

Those users at risk of passing this new threshold have received an email suggesting they take action by January 1st. Finally, please keep in mind that we will have the ability to grant extensions, determined on a case by case basis.

Breast augmentation without implants is available in the UK using an inject-able filler called Macrolane. The procedure is marketed as a temporary alternative to breast implants that has natural looking results, and is non-surgical. Although, at this juncture MyFreeImplants will not allow funding for this procedure as the product is fairly new, and not approved for use in the U.S. But, as more clinical trials are conducted we’ll look at offering this procedure in the future.
