Alice Webb was a mother of five children. She went to a beauty salon for a treatment called a Brazilian butt lift. This treatment uses injections to make the buttocks bigger. Alice died less than 24 hours after the treatment. She was only 33 years old.
In the UK, anyone can give these treatments. There are no special rules. Many people work in small salons or rented rooms. Some treatments are not safe. Joanne, another woman, got very sick after a similar treatment. She had to go to the hospital.
The government now wants to make new rules. They want to protect people. But many years have passed, and the rules are still not ready. Experts say these treatments can be very dangerous.
