ASHTON COLLINS, DIRECTOR OF SAVE FACE, A REGISTER OF ACCREDITED PRACTITIONERS FOR COSMETIC SURGERY, HAS REVEALED HUNDREDS OF WOMEN HAVE BEEN GIVEN COSMETIC SURGERY IN A 'DINGY GYM, IN
AN AIRBNB, OR IN A CAR" 11:00, 21 May 2025Updated 11:00, 21 May 2025 Botched "disaster" cosmetic surgeries are being "carried out in the back of cars" across the
high streets with "illegal syringes from China" leading to women "waking up with no bottom", an expert has warned. Hundreds of women across the UK are signing up for
liquid Brazilian butt lifts, also known as BBLS, and liquid breast enlargements as the cosmetic industry target patients with cut-price deals on social media. However, many of the procedures
are being carried out in the back of a "dingy gym, in an Airbnb or in an office space." One person was even "treated in the back of a car", according to Ashton Collins,
director of Save Face, a register of accredited practitioners for cosmetic surgery. Ms Collins recently addressed MPs at a select women and equalities committee to demand law is passed that
BBLS are only carried out by qualified surgeons - and not people posing on social media as health professionals. In December 2023, Save Face launched a campaign calling upon the government
to ban high-risk liquid BBL procedures. They warned that these procedures are a crisis waiting to happen. Article continues below She told The Mirror: "I know dozens and dozens of
people have been treated in the back of a dingy gym, in a Airbnb or in an office space. I know one person was treated in the back of a car. These stories are not isolated to one or two
individuals, these are the accounts of the vast majority of people that report liquid complaints to us. They are nearly all carried out in all manner of unsuitable places. "It's
very unsafe. You need to be in a sterile especially given the type of procedure that's being carried especially if it's a BBL. They are surgical procedures that carry a great deal
of risk and these procedures are being carried out by people with no healthcare experience in unsuitable rooms like hotel rooms and Airbnb's. It is an absolute recipe for
disaster." According to Save Face, nearly 600 individuals have suffered devastating complications from procedures falsely advertised as being risk-free. All of these cases were
performed by practitioners lacking any healthcare experience, operating in unsuitable and unsterile environments, often using unlicensed products, according to SaveFace. Alarmingly, more
than 52% of individuals we assisted have contracted sepsis, and over 39% required corrective surgery - many were told at the hospital that they might not survive. Ms Collins said:
"People who have not done a day of medical training are more than happy to pick up a syringe of a product that they bought from China or Hong Kong that's been illegally imported
and inject thousands of millilitres into the buttocks and breasts of unsuspecting women. It's assault. "They just either ignore the person or tell them Oh, it's just a bit of
bruising in a bit of swelling. Don't worry about it. You know it'll be gone within a couple of days, and obviously, in that time it progresses, and then they end up in septic shock
in the hospital. We've had families being called in to say goodbye; they've been told they might not make it through the night. "They've been told that they might wake
up without their legs because the abscesses are so bad; we've had tissue necrosis where the tissues died along the buttocks, and those tissues need to be surgically removed. We've
had women end up with no butts at all because they've had to have them removed." SaveFace set up Alice’s Law after the tragic death of 33-year-old mum Alice Webb, who tragically
lost her life following a liquid BBL procedure. Alice's family endorsed the campaign for new legislation in her memory. Article continues below They said: “Alice’s death has left a huge
void in our family, one that can never be filled. We are devastated by the overwhelming feeling of grief, loss, and anger because her death should never have been allowed to happen. All we
can do now is hope for justice. We are supporting Save Face’s campaign to implement a new law in Alice’s name to ensure that those responsible for her death are held accountable and to
prevent any other family from having to endure this awful suffering."
