The tragic loss of Alice Webb, just 33 years old, who died following a BBL administered by an unqualified practitioner, highlights the urgent need for legislation.
Many so-called “practitioners” of liquid BBLs have no more than a five-hour training course, allowing them to carry out highly invasive, dangerous procedures with little oversight or accountability. This lack of regulation exposes patients to grave risks, such as sepsis, disfigurement, and the need for further surgical intervention—all from what was falsely marketed as a “minimally invasive” and “safe” alternative.
Our team of cosmetic negligence lawyers has handled hundreds of enquiries from victims across England and Wales who have suffered devastating consequences, including severe infections and long-term complications, often resulting in the need to undergo corrective surgery. This highlights a disturbing trend: patients are being misled into believing these treatments are safe, only to suffer life-threatening outcomes.
Cosmetic procedures, particularly those like BBLs, should only be performed by trained medical professionals with the necessary expertise to manage complications and ensure patient safety. The fact that these treatments are being offered on the high street by undertrained individuals is alarming and dangerous.
Carly Sylvester, a specialist in cosmetic negligence, works to secure justice and compensation for those affected by such negligent practices. Her dedication has provided victims with access to vital corrective treatment and empowered them to take legal action to recover the compensation they deserve.
As specialists in cosmetic negligence we wholeheartedly endorse calls for stronger regulation in the industry. By supporting Alice’s Law, it is hoped that future tragedies like Alice Webb’s can be prevented, and unregulated practitioners can be held accountable for their actions. Together, we can bring about Alice’s Law, protecting patients and ensuring no one else endures such preventable suffering.
