Mother of Five Dies After Brazilian Butt Lift in UK, Sparking Calls for Urgent Ban

[Social Media]

 

Alice Webb, a 33-year-old mother of five, has tragically become the first person to die in the UK following a non-surgical liquid Brazilian butt lift (BBL). Alice fell ill shortly after undergoing the procedure and passed away at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital in the early hours of Tuesday morning. Her death has prompted an investigation by Gloucestershire Police, leading to the arrest of two individuals on suspicion of manslaughter. Both suspects have since been released on police bail.

 

The incident has raised serious concerns about the safety of non-surgical BBL procedures. **Save Face**, a UK organization that accredits practitioners offering non-surgical cosmetic treatments, has been actively advocating for a ban on these high-risk procedures. Speaking about Alice's death, Ashton Collins, the director of Save Face, expressed deep frustration, stating, “It makes me incredibly sad and angry that Alice’s death could and should have been prevented.” The organization has been warning the government since December 2023, urging them to take immediate action to outlaw liquid BBLs, which have led to life-threatening complications for many women.

 

Ms. Webb's death marks the first known fatality from a non-surgical BBL in the UK. However, Save Face has reported over 500 women suffering from serious complications, with many developing sepsis or requiring corrective surgery. Ms. Collins emphasized that liquid BBL procedures are often falsely advertised on social media as risk-free and cheaper alternatives to surgical methods. “Liquid BBL procedures are a crisis waiting to happen,” she said. “All of the procedures reported to us were carried out by non-healthcare practitioners who are performing incredibly dangerous procedures in unsterile environments.”

 

The BBL procedure involves the injection of hyaluronic acid to reshape the buttocks. While this procedure is technically legal in the UK, it can be performed by unqualified individuals, increasing the risk of complications. Data has shown that botched procedures have left many women permanently disfigured, requiring extensive corrective surgery. One woman, who spoke to *The Independent*, shared how she was placed in a coma for four days following a liquid bum lift that went wrong, leaving her with long-term pain in her chest and arms.

 

Alice Webb’s death has not only ignited public outrage but also shone a light on the dark side of the booming cosmetic surgery industry, which remains largely unregulated in many aspects. Her partner, Dane Knight, shared a heartfelt message on Facebook, thanking family and friends for their support during this difficult time. He wrote, “Please, please have these five girls’ feelings at heart here.” In what is believed to be Alice’s final Facebook post, she shared a photo of a pumpkin that had been given to her by a relative, captioning it simply: “How cute.”

 

Alice’s best friend, Amy Seville, also took to social media to express her grief. “You were the best friend anyone could ever ask for. I’m heartbroken that you had to grow your angel wings,” she wrote. “Life will never be the same again.”

Save Face’s ongoing efforts to ban non-surgical BBLs have gained new urgency following Alice’s death. “We launched a campaign in December 2023 calling upon the government to take urgent action to ban these procedures,” Ms. Collins said, adding, “I am devastated by the news of Alice’s passing.”

 

The debate over the safety of cosmetic procedures, particularly those performed by unqualified individuals, is gaining traction. The Independent has recently reported hundreds of cases of women being rushed to the hospital after receiving botched cosmetic treatments from unregulated practitioners. Despite these warnings, the popularity of such procedures continues to rise, fueled by social media and promises of quick, affordable results. However, as Alice Webb’s tragic death illustrates, the risks of these treatments can be devastating, and the calls for stricter regulation are growing louder.

A good diet and the right exercise will achieve the same results. 

 

Lazy people.

RIP.

 

Five children by an entirely unnecessary medical procedure, the demand for which is driven by the promotion for profit of cosmetic surgery.

Undoubtedly an outcome that is left to the NHS to deal with.

 

As so often, privatized profits, socialized costs.
