UK MPs Demand Immediate Ban on Brazilian Butt Lifts After Deaths

• UK MPs are calling for an immediate ban on Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) procedures due to safety concerns and a lack of regulation.
• The demand intensified after the death of 33-year-old Alice Webb in September 2024, following the enhancement.
• A report by the Commons' Women and Equalities Committee (WEC) highlights a 'wild west' in the cosmetics industry, with procedures performed by unqualified practitioners in unsafe locations.
• MPs recommend a licensing system for lower-risk procedures and urge the government to accelerate regulatory action, accusing ministers of not moving quickly enough.
• BBLs are dangerous because fat injections into the buttocks can inadvertently enter large blood vessels, potentially causing fatal blockages in the heart or lungs.
