UK: Mum Of Five Becomes First Brit To Die In BBL Surgery

A Mum-of-five has become the first person to die in the UK from a Brazilian Bum Lift surgery with two people including the surgeon arrested on suspicion of manslaughter.

Thirty-three-year-old Alice Webb was having the cosmetic treatment at a studio in Gloucester when the procedure went wrong.

Police and ambulance crew were rushed to a house on Monday evening at around 11.30pm after the alarm was raised. Alice was taken to the Gloucestershire Royal Infirmary but died shortly after in the early hours of Tuesday morning.

Gloucester Police confirmed two people had been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter over the horror and has been released on police bail.

Alice, who has five daughters aged between seven and 15, was also involved in the beauty treatment industry as an advanced aesthetic practitioner.

A GoFundMe page has been set up for Alice for donations to help her surviving husband and the children.

In the past few years at least 28 Brits have died — seven in Turkey — after complications from BBL ops. An investigation led by the Major Crime Investigation Team is ongoing.
