Banned BBL Surgeon Linked to Mother's Death
22 Jul
Summary
- Practitioner previously banned from liquid BBLs in two English regions.
- Mother-of-five died after receiving cosmetic treatment in 2024.
- Calls for national system to prevent unregulated cosmetic practitioners.
A cosmetic practitioner, previously prohibited from performing liquid Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) procedures in Dudley and Greater Manchester, faced enforcement action prior to treating Alice Webb in Gloucester in 2024. Webb, a mother-of-five, passed away in hospital after becoming unwell following the treatment.
Her former partner, Ben Kingscote, emphasized that Webb would not have undergone the procedure had she been aware of the prior bans. He believes this situation exposes significant gaps in regulation and has called for a unified national system to prevent practitioners with past enforcement actions from continuing to operate. The Department of Health and Social Care has indicated that ministers will consult on implementing stricter regulations for high-risk cosmetic interventions, including liquid BBLs.
The practitioner, Jordan Parke, had been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter in connection with Webb's death, though he was not formally charged. Parke himself died in February in an unrelated incident, reportedly after undergoing a cosmetic procedure. An inquest into Webb's death is expected to be held with a jury in the autumn.
