Breast implant firm had €9.5m turnover

A cosmetic surgery firm that fitted 1,100 Irish women with below-grade silicone breast implants, generated millions in revenues from surgeries in the three years to the end of 2010, new figures show.

The Harley Medical Group is currently in talks with the Department of Health on the issue of covering the cost of removal surgery for patients affected.

Figures just filed for 2008, 2009 and 2010 by Harley Medical Group Ireland Ltd to the Companies Office show the firm generated combined turnover of €9.5m and pre-tax profits of €1.78m from surgeries over those three years.
