Mum turns into first to die from Brazilian Butt Lift in Britain as two arrested
A mum-of-five became the first Brit to tragically pass away after getting a so-called liquid Brazilian Butt Lift in the UK.
Alice Delsie Preete Webb, 33, a beauty therapist, sadly died on Monday following the procedure and two people have been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter.
This non-surgical version of a BBL involves pumping hyaluronic acid and dermal fillers into the buttocks.
Online ads tout similar treatments for a hefty £2,500 a pop, claiming they can be done in just an hour. The Mirror has learned that Alice’s procedure was reportedly carried out by someone without any medical qualifications.

Gloucestershire Police are investigating the tragic death of the mum and her pal Abi Irwin paid tribute to Alice, calling her a “beautiful person inside and out.”
Abi revealed: “Alice passed away on Monday evening after having a BBL treatment which has gone wrong. [She] had the biggest heart, her family was her world – it is a difficult and heartbreaking time for them all.”, reports the Mirror.
Dane Knight, Alice’s other half, took to the internet last night, saying: “Want to say a heartfelt thank you..including [for] all of the kind messages sent to my children. Please, please have these five girls’ feelings at heart here.”

Alice, who owned a beauty business in the West Country, is survived by Dane and their daughters Delsie, 15, Preete, 13, Gracie 12, Nylie, 10, and Clarie, seven. It’s believed she opted for a non-surgical BBL often advertised on social media as a “risk-free” and more affordable alternative to going under the knife.
After her death was announced, a Gloucestershire Police spokesman said: “Two people have been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter following the death of a woman in her 30s in Gloucester. Police had been called by the ambulance service at around 11.35pm on Monday (23 September) with a report a woman had become unwell following a suspected cosmetic procedure.
“She was taken to Gloucestershire Royal Hospital and died in the early hours of Tuesday morning. Her next of kin and the coroner are aware. The woman’s family are being supported by specially trained officers. an investigation, led by the Major Crime Investigation Team, is ongoing. The two people who had been arrested have been released on police bail.”
