President of Clinical Counseling Team in the Cosmetic Council of Cosmetic Professionals, Andrew Rankin, he said Bolton’s news That while BBLs are still technically classified as surgery and regulated for specialized health professionals, it is a gap in the law that can be performed without medical training.
He said: “It’s a surgery, so there is a significant risk of death.
“The risk lies in the possibility of infusion of fat or filling in large blood vessels in the buttocks, which can then cause fatal blockages to the lungs.
“To do it properly and manage these resulting problems requires real medical expertise.”

The JCCP has worked with the Royal College of Surgeons, environmental employees and regulators to push for stricter enforcement.
Some local authorities have issued bans on unmistakable providers, others act on a case -by -case basis, where they are concerned about the level of risk.
Andrew noted that proper BBL surgery should be performed under ultrasound under sterile surgical conditions by a CQC medical professional, with immediate access to emergency equipment.
On the contrary, he said, many non -adjustable providers operate in unsafe environments, without the ability to manage complications such as severe infection or anesthetic overdose.
He said: “The fact that these procedures are often promoted to social media as ‘safer’ and ‘non -surgical’ option is extremely misleading.
“We work with advertising patterns in this, but this is a fall in the ocean compared to the scale of the problem.
“There are also concerns about what is really injected. Some patients have no idea what substance was used in them. In one case, a Korean manufacturer withdrew products from the United Kingdom After research revealed that they were never approved for body growth.”
Unassuming training practices also contribute to the problem, Andrew added: “People do their education, take a few weeks or months of experience and then go to teaching.
“If they have been taught incorrectly, they will teach other people to do the same.”
The government is currently considering new licensing laws that could close the gap, limiting BBLs to health professionals in regulated facilities.
The JCCP has advised ministers to categorize BBLs in the higher risk group, along with other invasive surgeries such as liposuction. The JCCP welcomes the recent government’s announcement and its commitment to pursue this strategy.
Speaking to those who may consider the process, Andrew said: “See a health care professional, make sure they are registered with the Care Quality Committee. Don’t just respond to the advertising of social media.
“Check them before your consultation all reliable companies will have a special website with sufficient general information. When consultation, make sure they understand your needs and that the tips they provide has your interests in the heart.”
