Tragic Loss Calls for Stricter Regulations in the Aesthetics Industry
Alice Webb, a 34-year-old mother of five, tragically passed away after undergoing a non-surgical Brazilian Bum Lift (BBL) in the UK. This devastating loss marks the first recorded fatality from this procedure in the country, sparking calls for tighter regulations in the aesthetics industry.
At Hazel Clinic, we strongly believe that only medically trained professionals should perform any kind of aesthetic treatments. Unfortunately, in some cases, unqualified individuals carry out these treatments, leading to severe complications such as blindness, necrosis, infection, and, tragically, death.
This case brings to light the critical gaps in regulatory oversight that still exist within the aesthetics industry. Dr. Susana Fontana, our leading Aesthetic doctor, emphasizes the importance of thorough research before undergoing any aesthetic treatment. It’s essential to choose a reputable, qualified practitioner who prioritizes patient safety and delivers quality care.
While many councils have banned certain procedures, the lack of a unified national regulatory standard allows for potential harm.
