"Brazilian butt lifts should be banned in the UK, MPs have said, as a report found a lack of regulation had led to a wild west of cosmetic procedures being carried out in garden sheds, hotel rooms and public toilets. The women and equalities committee (WEC) said high risk procedures such as non-surgical buttock augmentation should be outlawed immediately, and a licensing system for lower risk treatments was urgently needed."
"A nine-month inquiry by the committee also found ministers were not moving quickly enough to tackle the risks posed to Britons and recommended they accelerate regulatory action. The lack of timely action was fostering complacency in self-regulation within the industry, they cautioned. High-harm procedures such as the liquid Brazilian butt lift (BBL), which has resulted in fatalities, should be banned immediately without further consultation, the report said."
MPs called for an immediate ban on high-harm procedures such as the liquid Brazilian butt lift (BBL) due to fatalities and serious risks. A licensing system for lower-risk non-surgical cosmetic treatments should be introduced within this parliament so only suitably qualified practitioners can perform them. A nine-month inquiry found lack of regulation has allowed procedures to occur in Airbnbs, hotel rooms, garden sheds and public toilets. Ministers were judged to be moving too slowly, fostering complacency in industry self-regulation. Individuals without formal training currently perform injectables, laser therapy, and chemical peels, causing serious harm, including at least one case of sepsis requiring intensive care.
