The Mirror is calling for an end to cowboy cosmetic surgery in Britain. Medical experts and victims of catastrophic cosmetic procedures are backing the campaign to clean up Britain’s beauty industry. Mum Alice Webb died after a liquid Brazilian butt lift, while high-risk procedures have left hundreds of others injured or fighting for life.
Alice’s partner Dane Knight, campaign group Save Face and the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons are joining us in demanding action. We told on Thursday how Health Secretary Wes Streeting plans to crack down on “Wild West operators” who are risking lives. Now the Mirror is making three demands to improve safety at high-street salons and clinics.
Some procedures are being done by people with just hours of training, an ITV X documentary revealed this week. In September, mum-of-five, Alice, 33, became the first person to die following a liquid BBL in a UK clinic. Her partner Dane, from Gloucestershire, wants an “Alice’s law” put in place to stop non-medics performing such procedures.
He said Alice believed her procedure was safe, adding: “Had she known the truth she would never have risked leaving her five babies behind. I would hate another father to go through what I have. I am devastated.
To all the practitioners out there still performing this horrendous procedure, please stop.” Another mum ended up in a coma after a liquid BBL. Sasha, 53, of Bedfordshire, said her practitioner was not a qualified surgeon.
