Stop Dithering on Brazilian Butt Lifts Crackdown, Say MPs
MPs call for a ban on Brazilian butt lifts and liquid breast augmentations amid fatalities and unsafe practices; over 5,500 UK clinics offer non-surgical treatments with low medical qualifications.
- Urging immediate action, the WEC recommended MPs ban high-risk procedures like liquid BBLs and liquid breast augmentations without further consultation, and introduce a licensing system within this Parliament, `Ms Owen added`.
- Regulation gaps have produced a 'wild west' where unregulated providers perform procedures in Airbnbs and sheds, while social media platforms and influencers normalise risks, increasing demand among young women and girls.
- Among cited cases, mother-of-five Alice Webb died after a liquid BBL in September 2024, Birmingham-area patient Tryce Harry died after 2018 Hungary fat-transfer treatment, and Sasha Dean spent five weeks in intensive care with sepsis.
- To improve oversight, MPs asked that only doctors perform highest-risk procedures, urged the NHS to record data on overseas complications, and noted the Department of Health and Social Care will consider these recommendations.
- MPs said high-harm procedures "should be banned immediately without further consultation," while a University College London study found over 5,500 clinics reflect rapid sector growth.
