Two people have been arrested in connection with the mother’s death
A British mum-of-five who died following a ‘liquid Brazilian bum lift (BBL)’ procedure posted about her family in a final Facebook post before her death.
Alice Delsie Preete Webb, 33, has been named as the first person in the UK to die following a liquid BBL procedure.
It’s understood the beautician attended a studio in Gloucester on Monday evening (September 23) where she underwent the ‘minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment’.

She died at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital in the early hours of Tuesday (September 24), officials confirmed.
Gloucestershire Police’s Major Crime team is currently investigating Webb’s death. The two people who have been arrested have now been released on bail.
The night before undergoing the ‘cosmetic procedure’ (September 22), the mother took to Facebook to post a picture of a pre-surgery ‘present’ given to her by one of her daughters.
The gift was a small pumpkin, which was shared with the caption: “How cute”.
In the comments section, she uploaded another snap of the now-carved pumpkin with a tealight inside.
Alongside the image, she wrote: “My little lamp,” as per The Sun.

Following Webb’s death, her partner Dane Knight has released a statement.
“There was some very beautiful messages sent by some of your children that formed a start of a smile from the corner of my kids mouth.
“I feel this is important saying this as I will not accept speculations from adults being accidentally being eavesdropped by children and unnecessary questions raised to the five girls, so be extremely careful on what you say and who’s around! My children are extremely vulnerable!”
He added that those speaking about his partner’s death should have her five daughters’ ‘feelings at heart’.
Dr Paul Banwell, a founding member of the Safer Cosmetic Surgery Group has explained how a liquid BBL is considered a ‘controversial procedure within the industry’.

Unlike traditional BBL surgery, the liquid version uses dermal filler injections to ‘enhance the shape and size’ of a person’s buttocks.
“At present, Brazilian butt lifts, including liquid BBLs (and all other injectables) are legal in the UK but sadly remain woefully unregulated,” the plastic surgeon told LADbible.
“This heartbreaking news should prompt action at their highest levels. I hope this loss will encourage much-needed urgent conversations about improving safety standards in the UK aesthetics industry and make this a doctor-only procedure.”
He added that anyone who is thinking about going under the knife should always make sure their chosen practitioner is ‘fully medically qualified’ and that they specialise in the procedure you’re considering.
