Miami Plastic Surgeons Accept Bitcoin to Help International Patients
Vanity Cosmetic Surgery offers breast augmentations and liposuction procedures, payable in Bitcoin
In the hit show TV Nip/Tuck, Sean and Christian would go to great lengths to be paid in any means necessary. If that show were still running, the writers might have used Bitcoin to create an elaborate plot about an international digital currency connoisseur.
Vanity Cosmetic Surgery performs a wide variety of plastic surgeries in South Florida, including trans-umbilical breast augmentation (TUBA), liposuction, butt-lift, breast reduction and many other kinds of cosmetic surgeries, and now their surgeons accept Bitcoin.
Since its founding, Vanity has gone through extraordinary lengths to facilitate payment options for their international patients. Now with the implementation of Bitcoin, Vanity is breaking down even more payment barriers.
Vanity says it is the first medical center in the world to accept Bitcoin as an official payment method.
Patients may request to pay with Bitpoints, when they call or visit any of their three centers in South Florida. These innovative offering benefits everyone, but especially non-US customers who do not want to exchange their currency for USD.
What does this mean to patients? They can now use their loaded Bitcoin account to pay for a breast augmentation or a nose job, or maybe a laser hair removal treatment. This will definitely transform the way people will choose their doctors in the near future.

Australian Online Retailer Millennius Now Accepts Bitcoin
Australian online electronics retailer Millennius declared that it will be the first major Australian online retailer to accept Bitcoin.
As reported at iTWire, Millennius founder Pierre Boutros said the retailer is always looking for ways to make purchasing online easier for consumers, both in Australia and throughout the world. “Bitcoin is becoming a far more common payment mechanism for online transactions, with many global online businesses adding the functionality,” Mr Boutros said. “We’re proud to be the first major Australian online retailer offering the Bitcoin payment system and we look forward to it making our growth in the new markets in the US and the UK later this year even easier.”
All products in the Millennius site are now available for purchase using Bitcoin, while credit card and bank transfer payment functionality also remain for those customers that prefer them.
Millennius is also accepting competing currency Litecoin.
“Millennius is all about creating great products at great prices, and offering the best deal on brand name consumer electronics. The addition of Bitcoin and Litecoin as payment options can only help with our ability to offer great deals to wider customer base,” Mr Boutros said.

Bitcoin Now Accepted at VectorToons Art Marketplace via BitPay
VectorToons will use BitPay to Accept Bitcoin
VectorToons.com, a royalty-free PDF vector illustrations website, announced that the website will now accept Bitcoin as a payment method.
“Our company was among the first to accept Paypal when they were a startup,” said owner and founder of Yourbrain Media Inc. Brad Gosse. “Bitcoin is a secure, legitimate currency being used in high volumes online. Since many of our customers are early adopters, we need to be as well.”
The website will use BitPay, an electronic payment processing system for the Bitcoin currency, to calculate the current U.S. dollar to Bitcoin exchange rate. It will then give the customer a payment address upon checkout.
“If you already have a Bitcoin wallet, it’s extremely easy,” said Gosse. In addition to Bitcoin, the website also accepts Paypal and credit cards.
The VectorToons.com website allows people to buy only the graphics that they want without a subscription or the purchasing of credits. The clip art, available as a high-quality PDF download, is royalty-free and can be used in an array of projects, from websites and videos, to sales letters and in print advertising. The PDF format allows easy conversion to other popular formats like PNG, JPEG and GIF.
“I created the site mainly because I find it hard to find good vector art at reasonable prices,” said Gosse. “I have had my own full -time cartoonists on staff for a long time and decided to open my exclusive catalog to other designers. A dollar for vector art is unheard of in the design world, so I figured let’s make it affordable for everyone.”
Currently, the site has over 1000 images to choose from, but Gosse says more will be added daily. The site features artwork of people, animals, icons, food items, holiday-related graphics and other objects. The website allows you to browse by category or search by keywords.
Using vector graphics in your sales letters, products, books and advertising helps to improve your message and can increase sales says Gosse.
“Since hiring my own cartoonists over a year ago, my sales copy conversions have more than doubled,” said Gosse.
