Mother-of-five dies after Brazilian butt carry within the UK ‘went unsuitable’

A mother-of-five has died following surgery to have a Brazilian Bum Lift procedure that was done in the UK.

Alice Webb, 34, passed away on Monday just hours after having the surgery.

Gloucestershire Police are understood to be investigating the death and the surgeon – whose identity MailOnline knows – has been arrested.

Alice was an advanced aesthetic practitioner at Crystal Clear in Wootton-under-Edge and is thought to have had the operation in the West Country.

A GoFundMe page set up by her pal Abigail Irwin revealed the tragedy.

It said: ‘I am hoping to raise as many funds as we can to support Dane, the partner of Alice and there five beautiful children at theis very difficult sad time.

‘Alice passed away Monday evening after having the BBL treatment which has gone wrong.

‘Alice joined the beauty & Aesthetics industry two years ago and she has been smashing it, doing amazing.

‘She cared about her clients, she would always check in to see if they were ok, Alice was a beautiful person inside and out and I feel very lucky to have known her and to have spent time with her in our salon.

‘Alice would ask for advice all the time and ask to check if there was anything more she could do to improve her skills but she was just a pure natural and never needed my help but always wanting to be the best at her job and that she was.

‘Alice has passed away at a young age of 34 Alice was beautiful inside and out with the biggest heart, her family was her world she is leaving behind her partner Dane & 5 beautiful children.

‘Delsie 15, Preete 13, Gracie 12, Nylie 10, Clarie 7 as you can imagine this is a very difficult heart breaking time for them all so if we can all help donate or share to help take of some financial stress it would be really appreciated by the family.’

By late Wednesday the fund stood at £740 of a £3,000 target.

Alice’s death was also confirmed by campaign group Save Face.

Director Ashton Collins told MailOnline: ‘We are aware of this sad incident and are offering our support to her family.

‘This is a very tragic time for them and we warned the government nine months ago that deaths were likely unless there was intervention.

‘We get hundreds of complaints from people and more needs to be done to investigate these procedures and there have been deaths from sepsis as a result.

‘I understand that the surgeon involved has been arrested and is being questioned by police.’

According to a report from Save Face published in July there has been an ‘alarming increase in the number of patient reported complaints relating to non-surgical breast augmentation and BBLs’.

The report said that more than half have resulted in severe and life-threatening complications, including sepsis, abscesses and infections.

Save Face’s investigation tragically concluded by saying:’This is a crisis waiting to happen. Without urgent intervention, we fear it will only be a matter of time until there fatalities.

‘We are calling upon the Government to take immediate action to ban these procedures to ensure public safety.’

Several British women have died overseas following BBLsurgery in the last few years as the procedure is usually cheaper and popular destinations include Turkey, Mexico and the Dominican Republic.
