Reading the news that former surgeon Rick Sawyer has been banned cosmetic procedures, Bonnie Louise Cooper has felt a wave of relief from her body.
Sawyer, who has gained a reputation for the BBLs in Katie Price, will no longer be able to have cosmetic surgery across England and Wales for three years after slapping with the ban on Manchester’s Court of Justice.

He was exhibited after a BBC documentary that showed him using a London office block to execute the potentially deadly process that left some victims, including Bonnie, by fatal sepsis.
Bonnie, 27, was one of the women whose evidence had been used to ensure that the man had called a “bad del boy” was served by order.
Sawyer has been banned from conducting any proceedings in England and Wales until May 27, 2028, after a court heard the evidence that the BBL procedure had exposed women in sepsis.
The order prohibits him from having relevant surgical equipment or any antibiotic commonly used in such treatments unless prescribed for his personal use.
“I can finally breathe again, Sawyer can no longer hurt any other woman,” says Bonnie.
“I stayed an anxious document and screaming with pain because of this process.
“I still need treatment for my injuries two years.
“It’s a huge relief and I know he’s going to send a message to other so -called ‘experts’ who claim to have been trained.
“These people are bad del boys that cause pain in wild victims.
“I would be dead if my sister had not called the ambulance and took me to the hospital.
“My little boy would be an orphan everything because of one of Sawyer’s wet lifts.”
Beautician Bonnie lives in Swanage, Dorset is up to five years old mom and says she decided to have a liquid BBL in November 2023.
“I thought I was doing the right thing and responsible by choosing a British clinic. I was told it was the safest choice,” he says.
“I chose what Katie Price used in Elite Harley Street in London. He thinks it safe.”
But on the night before, Bonnie admits she was impressed when she received a text with her “second clinic” professional at Romford, Essex.
“I was sure that was normal,” he recalls.
When Bonnie arrived, Mom was informed that the producer was “completely safe”.
“It was explained that I had 250 Mils filling in each buttock,” he says.

“I was given some cream cream, but I wasn’t prepared for the pain of the injection of the tube.
“I always thought that birth was the worst pain I had ever experienced, but work was nothing compared to it.”
Bonnie says the process was done in a beauty environment and she was told to stand instead of lying down for injections.
“I was shocked after the process,” he admits.
“I tried to put a brave face. I was told that I was likely to feel a little curious because of the cream numbness.
“I asked if I had to drive home and they told me it was fine.
“That didn’t make sense to me. I had only half a liter of filler that was introduced to my bastard.
“I was not given any care instructions and sent home without antibiotics, and once I arrived at home, I was crying anxiously.
“I couldn’t get out of the car and started vomiting and fainted trying to get into my house.
“I was singing the clinic and I was told that they would take antibiotics for me the next day and they advised me to go to bed.”
Bonnie Lisa-Marie Hughes’ sister, 32, a mom stay at home, visited her that night and if she couldn’t be alive.
“He found me misleading, sweat and in absolute anxiety,” Bonnie recalls.
Bonnie rushed to the hospital and was diagnosed with sepsis.
Morphine was regularly given for the next four days and intravenous antibiotics to fight injection.
“I had an urgent scanning of magnetic resonance imaging and revealed that the process had caused muscle damage,” Bonnie says.
“It was so serious that I was given a reference to Salisbury Plastics to dismantle the procedures.”
It took almost five days before Bonnie was good enough to be sent home.
“I had to get two different types of antibiotics for another month and they were still in painkillers two months later,” he says.
“The antibiotics promised by the clinic never arrived and never told me, despite asking what kind of filling they used.
“The hospital tried to call the living room but they didn’t answer. It was awful.
“I felt like I was thrown into the wolves.
“I have huge sorrows and I still worry about the constant long -term side effects.
I hope this ban allows victims to stand up high

“It was one of the most frightening experiences of my life. No one should ever experience it.”
The standard BBL surgical includes the patient harvested by his body and the reappearance of the buttock area.
A non -invasive liquid BBL uses a series of skin fillers, including hyaluronic acid injected into each buttock using a large tube to add volume.
The liquid BBL is promoted as relatively free of pain because the filling contains lidocaine, local anesthetic.
While it looked like the perfect choice, two years in Bonnie still suffer from the abused BBL.
“Two years later and I still have physiotherapy on one of my feet to cure nerve damage twice a week,” he says.
“I have a shooting nerve on a foot. It’s a constant reminder of what I suffered in the hands of Sawyer’s clinics.”
Bonnie is one of more than forty women used as evidence in the case for the expert who will support a self -supported “Celeb support”.
As part of the prohibition of the Manchester Court of Justice, it has raised a power of arrest in the order, which means that Sawyer could be arrested without a warrant if it is found to be violating the terms.
The Court, along with the Trafford Council, heard evidence including a BBC documentary that showed him working from a rented office that was performing the procedures.
Lawyer James Parry, who put the case, said the injuries they suffered were similar to that of a “serious knife crime”.
Sawyer, described as a beauty consultant, was found to provide injections containing up to 1,000ml of skin filling in customers, without having a single qualification.
What are Brazilian lifts and why are they so popular?
Glut enlargement surgery – known as Brazilian lifting (BBL) – is used to make the bum look larger, rounded and elevated.
Surgeons carry fat, filling infusion or introduce full silicone implants.
It is the fastest growing cosmetic process, but also one of the most dangerous, according to the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPs).
Many patients travel to those who like Turkey or seek unattended surgeons in the United Kingdom and do not receive complete dangers.
BBLs carry the highest risk of all cosmetic surgeries – with more than one deaths occurring every 4,000 procedures.
Due to the celebrities undergoing such OP, many women hope to imitate their appearance.
Consultant Clinical Psychologist Dr. Anu Sayal-Bennett, a chartered member of the British Psychological Society. the bbc: “Although there is so much about the positivity of the body, there are pressures for women – and men – to look somehow.”
Many people travel abroad for the process because it is cheaper and advertising is “terribly captivating”, coupled with the idea of a holiday beach, Dr. Sayal-Bennett added.
The Environmental Health Institute has welcomed the ban.
The president of the Institute, Mark Elliot, who hit the shocking and dangerous practices, Mr Sawyer found himself committed by saying that “the regulatory framework failed to keep up with increasing the prevalence of cosmetic procedures in recent years, which is fueled by social media”.
Sawyer’s ban comes six weeks after the social “irresponsible” ads for Brazilian wet lifts, they were banned from the Authority of advertising standards in Britain.
The Authority found that a series of advertising positions on Facebook and Instagram broke the rules – and timely limited discounts appeared that could rush consumers to make decisions.
It banned the six BBL providers from using their ads again in the current form, finding that they could push women to keep cosmetic surgery “without taking enough time to examine the consequences”.
According to Watchdog, the cosmetic surgery should have been depicted as a decision that required time and thinking from consumers before proceeding due to the risks involved.
Some of the ads presented before and after pictures of Brazilian lifts, with captions such as: “Get the curves and outlines you always wanted with safe and effective body filling therapies”.
Others called on potential customers to benefit from an exclusive opportunity to get this perfect peach look ” – and warned that” limited space “was available in some days.
Bonnie says the ban should only be the first step in a constant repression of so -called back street beauty advisers.
“I hope this ban allows victims to stand up,” he adds.
Bonnie, who has struggled to raise awareness of the dangers of this style for the BBL, is now calling for new laws that make it illegal to execute procedures like that in Britain.
“I fell victim to Sawyer in 2023, and they have taken almost two years for action,” he says.
“There must be a rapid approach to approach or new laws for regulating industry.
“This ban is a beginning.”
