"Currently there is no regulation over who can provide procedures that do not involve incisions. The committee said this had created a "wild west" market with procedures, including liquid breast enlargements, reportedly being done in Airbnbs, hotels rooms, garden sheds and public toilets. In early 2024, Sasha Dean, from Bedfordshire, was left in a coma after receiving a liquid BBL."
""Very quickly it turned into a complete nightmare," Dean told the BBC. "I had a heart attack, one of my lungs had collapsed, my kidneys were failing. My body was just completely shutting down." After five days in an induced coma, Dean pulled through and has since recovered, but she says the experience has still left her with physical side effects."
Tighter restrictions are being urged on high-risk non-incisional cosmetic procedures such as liquid Brazilian butt lifts (BBLs). A cross-party Women and Equalities Committee recommends that only doctors be allowed to carry out these treatments because of the risks involved, a move that would act as a de facto ban for most non-essential cases. The government has proposed a similar measure but has not confirmed implementation timing. Lack of regulation has enabled a "wild west" market with procedures in Airbnbs, hotel rooms and public spaces. A Bedfordshire patient suffered coma, sepsis and lasting health effects after a liquid BBL.
