The Plastic Surgery Center: 64,813 individuals, Jan 2025.

OCR classifies the incident as a hacking or IT incident, with the breached information held in a network server. Hacking/IT Incident is the type recorded on 119 of the 174 New Jersey filings (68%) and on 81% of all filings submitted in 2025. Network Server is the most common location in the state, appearing on 57% of New Jersey filings.

No business associate is recorded on the filing; 27% of New Jersey filings do involve one. At 64,813 individuals the breach is 11 times the New Jersey median filing of 5,727 and 16 times the national median of 4,000 across all 7,884 filings. It sits in the 10,000 to 99,999 band, which holds 1,938 filings.

As of 28 August 2026 the case is listed by HHS OCR under Cases Currently Under Investigation. OCR has not published a closing summary, so this page is limited to the fields on the filing itself; the archive entry that follows a closed investigation usually adds a short account of what was exposed and what the entity did afterwards.

New Jersey's breach notification statute (N.J. Stat. 56:8-161 et seq.) requires notice to affected residents within 30 days of reasonably determining a breach occurred (7 days for social-media-platform breaches). Its attorney general threshold: all breaches (Division of Consumer Affairs and State Police). The HIPAA Breach Notification Rule ran alongside it: notice to affected individuals and to HHS without unreasonable delay and no later than 60 days after discovery, which is the clock that put this filing on the portal.

Multiplying 64,813 individuals by IBM's $160 customer-PII cost per record (Cost of a Data Breach 2025, the figure the site's calculator uses) gives a modelled $10.4M; the 2026 edition's $192 gives $12.4M. Both are modelled estimates with the method shown, not costs disclosed by The Plastic Surgery Center. For scale, IBM's 2026 average cost of a healthcare breach is $6.64M, so this filing models at 1.9 times the sector average.
