An east London council has issued a warning against the dangers of Brazilian Butt Lifts.
The surgery where a doctor transfers fat from your belly, hips, lower back, or thighs to your buttocks is high-risk.
Redbridge Council said it was particularly concerned by a non-surgical variant of the cosemitc procedure called “liquid BBL” which is unlicensed and unregulated.
A spokesperson for the town hall’s Environment Health Team said it had particular concerns about an individual and associated companies based in Brentwood, Essex, known to have administered this procedure.
The council has issued prohibition notices under health and safety law barring them from carrying out the procedure “until the risks to persons undergoing that procedure have been controlled”.
A spokesperson for Redbridge Council's Environmental Health Team said: "The health and safety of people in Redbridge is our number one priority.
"Individuals who have undergone these procedures have experienced excruciating pain, discomfort and infections, some of which have required medical interventions and hospitalisation.
"We strongly recommend that anyone considering a non-surgical aesthetic procedure do their research. If the cost of the treatment is lower than the market average, proceed with caution, as the practitioner may not be using the advertised products.
"If you have undergone this procedure and you're experiencing pain, discomfort and signs of infection, please seek medical assistance immediately."
It comes after a British mother-of-two died after having similar cosmetic surgery in Turkey earlier this year.
Kaydell Brown, 38, from Sheffield, paid £5,400 for a “mummy MOT” - a package deal involving a Brazilian butt lift, a tummy tuck and a boob job.
Her family said she had hoped the procedure would change her life.
But tragically, Ms Brown never came out of surgery at the Clinic Expert in Istanbul on the morning of March 26, 2024.
Speaking to ITV, her heartbroken sister Leanne, 40, has slammed the clinic, calling it a “pop-up butcher shop”.
A spokesperson for the clinic insisted that there had been no medical malpractice, and that Kaydell’s tragic death was a result of “known complications” with the surgery.
