Single mum Bonnie-Louise Cooper, 27, thought she was being sensible when she decided not to fly abroad for the risky procedure
A mum who narrowly escaped death after having a liquid BBL in England has warned others against the procedure.
UK surgeons are supporting The Mirror's campaign to halt unregulated cosmetic procedures following Bonnie-Louise's experience. Professor Vivien Lees, Vice President of RCS England and consultant plastic surgeon, told The Mirror: "The situation is out of control in the UK. Cosmetic procedures must be regulated as soon as possible before there is another death. We are supporting this important campaign, to work together, to protect people seeking these treatments."
Single mum, Bonnie-Louise, shared with The Mirror: "I thought I was doing the safe thing by not going to Turkey or Prague but the procedures here can be just as deadly and they can also cause life long complications. Us surviving girls are still not okay, we have scarring, we have physical hardships. I have a young son and he could have ended up an orphan."
She was under the impression she had been administered Lidocaine, but the hospital later informed her that it wasn't the pain blocker prescribed. Her inquiries regarding the type of filler used remained unanswered by the clinic. "I was really poorly, the pain overrides everything and you can't think straight. I was crying in pain. When they took me down to MRI every bump was horrific. I was sweating my forehead was dripping. The doctors came into the room and told me: 'You could die within the hour'. They came in six of them putting IV drips in both of your arms. It was rushed.
They added, "All doctors performing cosmetic surgery in the UK must be registered with and licensed to practise by the General Medical Council . We are exploring options around regulation of the cosmetics sector and will provide an update in due course." Back in 2013, Sir Bruce Keogh warned the then Government it was a 'crisis waiting to happen'. She highlighted how non-medical individuals, such as beauticians, have been employing "dangerous" techniques on High Streets nationwide that could perforate someone's abdomen, cause nerve damage or neck bleeding.
"And advertising really cheap procedures which for these sorts of things means you are using cheap products. It's a money-making racket.
