A British mother, Kaydell Brown, has died after having a Brazilian butt lift in Turkey that she hoped would change her life. Her sisters spoke on ITV News recalling the trauma of their sister 'never coming back'.
For years, it has been a tragedy waiting to happen. The awful news of the death of Alice Webb, a 33-year-old mother of five, after complications following a non-surgical ‘Brazilian butt lift’ procedure known as BBL, has left me horrified – but not, I am sorry to say, as shocked as most people might be.
As procedures go, the BBL – which amplifies and reshapes the backside with injections of either fat or dermal fillers – is highly contentious . It sounds easy – just a few injections of dermal filler or your own fat, extracted from your thighs or stomach and injected into your bottom – and, hey presto, better curves.
Over the past 25 years that I have been reporting on aesthetic medicine, there has been an ever-growing interest in cosmetic tweakments, ranging from Botox and fillers to body-reshaping injections – yet the need for proper regulation of the whole industry has repeatedly been brushed away.

This piece of equipment, easily available online, is in fact used for removing secretions from the respiratory tract. It beggars belief anyone would think it could work on soft tissue. ‘I’ve seen so many things like this online,’ she adds. But dermal fillers, which are used to add volume to lips and cheeks and are usually made from hyaluronic acid gel, are easy to get hold of.
Problems caused by non-medical practitioners also place a sizeable burden on the NHS. How sizeable? It’s hard to say because many complications are never attributed to cosmetic procedures.
