A widespread investigation in Taiwan revealed that over 30 plastic surgery clinics were secretly recording patients during procedures. Initial inspections uncovered hidden cameras in five Airlee clinics, one Dr. Shine clinic, and two Saint Eir clinics. Authorities ordered implicated clinics to halt operations for eight months and imposed fines of 500,000 New Taiwan dollars. The clandestine recordings took place in treatment and operating rooms, raising serious privacy concerns. The investigation began with reports of surveillance equipment at several locations and quickly expanded. This scandal has prompted a review of patient privacy regulations within the cosmetic surgery industry in Taiwan.
