UK MPs have called for an immediate ban on Brazilian butt lifts (BBLs) following a report exposing unsafe cosmetic procedures done in places like garden sheds, hotel rooms, and public toilets. The women and equalities committee (WEC) warned that without regulation, people with no training are performing risky treatments, putting the public in danger. The nine-month inquiry found that ministers are too slow to act and urged faster regulation. The report said, "High-harm procedures such as the liquid Brazilian butt lift (BBL), which has resulted in fatalities, should be banned immediately without further consultation." It also called for a licensing system for lower-risk treatments to ensure only qualified people perform them. The panel revealed that procedures like fillers, Botox, laser therapy, and chemical peels currently have no rules on who can do them. This lack of control has created a "wild west" where treatments happen in unsafe locations, causing serious harm. One woman, Sasha Dean, spoke of her ordeal with sepsis after a BBL, staying in intensive care for five weeks. Another woman, Alice Webb, 33, died after a liquid BBL in September 2024. MPs linked the rise in cosmetic procedures to social media and influencers normalizing risky treatments. Sarah Owen, WEC chair, said, "Procedures that are deemed high risk such as liquid BBLs and liquid breast augmentations, which have already been shown to pose a serious threat to patient safety, should be banned immediately. There is no need for further consultation and delay." She criticized the government for slow progress, adding, "Currently, individuals without any formal training can carry out potentially very harmful interventions and often do so in unsafe environments. This 'wild west' of procedures is placing the public at risk." The Department of Health and Social Care said it will review the report and respond soon. A spokesperson stated, "This government is taking action to crack down on cosmetic cowboys and root out dangerous treatments. Our tough new measures will ensure only qualified healthcare professionals will be able to perform the highest-risk procedures." They advised people to check qualifications and avoid suspiciously cheap treatments.
