Patients say South Florida clinic took their money then ‘ghosted’ them
Patients want answers, refunds after clinic accepted their money but cancelled procedures
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. – A South Florida clinic’s business practices are under investigation after several patients claimed they paid for procedures they never received and the clinic kept their money.
“It was a total of $10,000,” client Mariana Mata told Local 10 News of her experience with Xiluet Plastic Surgery in the Westchester neighborhood of Miami-Dade County.
Another patient, Amy Lighteard, said she had paid $2,500 toward her procedures.
The women said no one returned their calls after surgeries were suddenly canceled.

Yesterday, the Governor of Florida threw his support behind a newly introduced consumer data privacy bill (
HB 969) which is very similar to the
California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018. The Governor’s support is a significant development given that he and both chambers of the Florida Legislature are Republican and, to date, there has not been any aligned support for a privacy law since the
Florida Information Protection Act (FIPA), Florida’s data breach notification law. Nevertheless, as with the CCPA, the bill proposes a boondoggle for the plaintiffs’ bar in the form of a private right of action for data breaches and statutory damages, which could present a significant obstacle to passage in the bill’s current form, particularly for a fairly business-friendly Florida Legislature.
