Police hunt for 19-year-old who used a fake ID and credit card to get $7,500 breast implants

A teenager with breast implants is now being sought after by New York City police because she reportedly used a fake ID and credit card to get her enhancements.

Investigators now believe that the young woman, who is thought to be 19-years-old, used a false identity when she filled out the paperwork for her plastic surgery.

Adding to their cold trail is the fact that the surgery in question took place on April 12, 2012 as it took months for the doctor's office to confirm that she had used a fraudulent credit card.



Scene: The surgery scam took place at a clinic on Manhattan's Upper East Side in April 2012 but it took more than a year and a half to confirm with the credit card that it was a stolen card

The procedure cost $7,500 which they ran on the stolen credit card, and because the follow-up appointment was optional, they never saw her again.



Duped: Dr Joshua B. Hyman was the doctor who performed the surgery

The New York Post reports that the young woman had her surgery at Body Cosmetica on Manhattan's Upper East Side.

It took the practice more than 18 months to get the final confirmation from the credit card company that the young woman had committed a fraud.

As such, senior patient coordinator, Kendra Klock, only filed the police report on October 29 of this year, but now the NYPD are on the case.

'The cops are working vigorously to get this huge bust,' an unidentified police source told The Post.

While the police may be in stiches over the situation, the fact that the patient may have been a teenager causes some serious legal concerns.

Anyone under 22-years-old is not allowed to receive silicone implants and must be given saline implants instead.

The doctor involved with the procedure has been identified as Dr Joshua Hyman who is dual board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery as well as the American Board of Surgery.

On his website, Dr Hyman lists some of his most common procedures as liposuction, facelifts, nasal reshaping, and, of course, breast augmentation.
