I scheduled an appointment with Seduction Cosmetics for a Breast Lift, Thigh Lift, and BBL, which I paid for in full ($11,999.00). The procedure was initially scheduled for September 5, 2023. However, I received a text message from Seduction Cosmetics 2 weeks before the surgery date, informing me that I had a medical issue that prevented them from performing the procedure. They advised me to request a refund, which I promptly did. Unfortunately, my refund request was denied on the grounds of a mistake in the interpretation of my lab results. In an act of goodwill, I rescheduled the procedure for November 11, 2023, after multiple calls to ensure my readiness for surgery before traveling to *******. Upon my arrival, I was informed that I still required new lab work and a fresh Clearance letter, which incurred additional costs. I made every effort to complete the necessary lab work and obtain medical clearance, since the procedure was scheduled for the following day. Despite my best efforts, Seduction Cosmetics once again declared that no surgeon would proceed with the surgery due to irregular lab results. They advised me to request a refund, which I duly did. However, my refund request has been repeatedly and immediately denied without any explanation provided. If you are considering engaging in business with this company, I strongly urge you to reconsider. They demonstrate unprofessional conduct, and not only do they refuse to perform the procedure, but they also make the process of obtaining a refund extremely challenging (the denial reason has changed each time with no guidance from them).Business Response

I spoke to the patient she wanted to know why her refund had been denied, when she was notified in the clinic she would be due a refund. I explained to her that even though her surgery day all surgeons denied her case they requested for her to see her primary care physician and based on his diagnosis they would know weather to proceed or not. Patient had the *** levels high and might be going through kidney failure and if that was the diagnosis she would be due a full refund without the deposits. Patient states she saw her primary care physician as she booked a flight right back and had her diagnosis that was given by her primary care physician and recent bloodwork. That she is not able to have surgery, but she is not giving us the option to get something from her doctor staying she is not able to do the procedure. I told her to send her updated results to ******************************** and to keep in mind if the refund does get approved it can take up to 21 business days for it to be processed. Patient has my information in case she needs to get in contact with management again, also we need before we get to have a final decision for the patient to have her doctor to send all documentations due that she had signed a contract and she is trying to break it without having the proper information.Initial Complaint

I have yet to receive my refund and not understanding why they are holding my money the $1,173 for the cell saver and tt package and $6,900 from my the surgery. No services was rendered to me and they just messaged me requesting testing from specialist after they have cancelled me and sent me home. Also, theses specialist and test the are requesting was NEVER a requirement! I dont kno why they would even assume I will still be getting surgery after their dr specifically denied me stated I was not a candidate then sent me home! I have been beyond patient with this center But they are not trying to give my money, they are trying to find a reason to deny it my contract expired/or was non valid BEFORE MY SURGERY and no services was rendered to me at all I am request all payments to be released or matter to be escalated!

I have been diagnosed with a Spinal Cord Injury and not able to have the scheduled surgery. I called to cancel for a refund however while speak to my consultant , I was told that I will be charged a cancellation fee of ******* per procedure. In addition, I may not be granted a refund due to approaching the end of my contract. I told him that my contract does not end until December. His response was, I didnt sign you up so the only thing I could do was to request a refund on the portal ! I did so in the required time frame and it was denied. I am asking for a full refund minus the cancellation fee of ******* as stated in their contract. Please help! Thank you.Business Response

On October 27,2023 I submitted a Zelle payment for a deposit on 2 cosmetic surgeries under the impression that I would pay the deposit , have my surgery, and have 18 months to pay the surgery in full. At the time of the transaction I only had a virtual card available and they stated they cannot accept that but would accept Zelle. Once the transaction was completed they emailed me my contract stating I have to pay the amount in full of the cosmetic procedures prior to having the surgery. Once I contacted them to rectify they advised that they had told me previously I had to pay full prior to surgery (they did not because I specifically turned down 2 other locations for that specific reason) when I requested my refund they stated ***** is non refundable but they would speak with a manager. I received a call today October 30,2023 saying I had to sign the contracts in order to not lose my $500 and they kept pressuring me to sign the contract even though on their website it says non refundable if contract is signed. The conversations with the coordinator are in Spanish. I was being forced to sign a contract even though their website clearly stated that if I DID sign my deposit was non refundable. I just want my money back. When I sent the Zelle I was never advised it was non refundable. Also the coordinator stopped communicating with me when I asked if the manager was in the office today and after sending screenshots of their website explaining if I signed the contact it was non refundable. I have not signed any contracts with them. Also at the time that they were trying to force me to sign the contracts I explained I could not because I was at the hospital and did not have signal to enter my email.Customer Answer

I signed up for surgery during a reduced deposit promotion of $100, per surgery. I signed up on June 15, 2022.Due to unforeseen issues I am unable to get the surgeries. I requested a refund for the amount minus MY $100 promotional deposit. It was denied.I have documents showing my reduced deposit and just want what I paid regardless any other wording within other places of the contract.A deposit which reflects $100 per surgery, should be honored.I do not feel it is acceptable for this business to take $1,800 more for a deposit which clearly reflects I paid a $200 deposit.I will also be filing with the ************************ as well. As I feel they are fraudulently keeping funds and using wording to take advantage of me.Business Response

I was scheduled to have cosmetic surgery done and due to health issues I am no longer able to receive the surgery. I initially was scheduled in 2021. It was rescheduled twice due to me not being able to increase my hemoglobin. I was rescheduled for 01/31/2023 and was unable to make that surgery as well. My account now doesnt have a date but due to the reasons alone I would just like a refund. I am unable to have the surgery if I was, I wouldve had it already. They are refusing to provide the refund with no explanation why just a simple denied. This is unfair to keep my money for a surgery I wont be receiving.Business Response

Good Morning,This practice delays answering any of your questions and keep asking for more and more testing (even after a full clearance by your doctor) until you fall into the 30 days before surgery. They then start giving you grief about issuing a refund! This is the letter I sent them: Im writing to request a refund for the abdominoplasty surgery. I was coming solely for *****************. He unfortunately made me jump through hoops to get a clearance which put me within the 30 days to request my refund. According to all my doctors (and I work in healthcare) there is zero reason for the surgery to not be performed. I provided my doctors clearance, labs that had nothing significant. He unfortunately keeps asking for more and more. At this point, its impossible for me to keep taking off from work to provide him with unnecessary Testings that are putting me under an immense amount of stress. I am asking you please to be ***** in issuing me a full refund. Thank you for your understanding and prompt help with this matter.Respectfully Yours,***************************************That was the end of the letter.I was assured many many times that a refund would not me an issue by ********* and ****. That since ***************** is the one taking time to make up his mind, that I will be able to get a refund even if I fell within the 30 days before surgery. Unfortunately, the reality was nothing like they claimed! I told them about my concern with the time. They assured me that I will be *********** a refund. Since they tape their conversations, they should be able to verify these conversations. Please help me retrieve my money. This is causing me an immense amount of stress. Thank you very much!!
