Alice Webb leaves behind a partner and five children

'I spoke to BBL mum before procedure that killed her - I begged her not to do it'

Alice Webb, 33, died after she underwent a liquid Brazilian Butt Lift procedure earlier this week - police in Gloucestershire have arrested and bailed two people on suspicion of manslaughter

A mum-of-five who underwent a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) procedure that resulted in her death was warned by a close friend not to do it.

Dianna Webb, 58, said she told her younger cousin Alice Webb that she already looked "beautiful" just hours before she died after undergoing the liquid BBL procedure. The aesthetic practitioner, 33, travelled from her home in Wotton-under-Edge, Gloucestershire, to a clinic in Gloucester where she took part in a training session where she would learn how to perform the non-surgical procedure before having her own done.

Police raced to a home at about 11:30pm on Monday, after they were alerted by paramedics who were already present. She was taken to Gloucestershire Royal Infirmary but died in the early hours of the following day. Police arrested two people on suspicion of manslaughter on Monday night. Both have since been bailed.

Diana told Alice she was "beautiful" hours before the procedure

Diana told The Sun, she helped raise Alice and said she was like a "second mum." She added: "We talked about it a lot before she went to have the procedure. She had told me she was going to have this done and I said she didn't need it - she already looked beautiful. And she was stunning on her own.

"We were in the phone for two hours before she went. Alice said they seemed really professional and put her at ease about the procedure." Diana said Alice would not just go and get a procedure done without looking at major details as she worked in the industry. She praised Alice for going on each course as she wanted to make sure "she got everything right."

Alice, whose youngest child is seven, was said to love her children and viewed them as her "whole world." Her widower thanked friends and family for their kind messages sent to him and their children. While the NHS said the BBL is generally a safe procedure, there have been a number of deaths following complications. It is also the cosmetic procedure that has the highest death rate of all.

The British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons advised its members not to carry out BBL surgeries. Instead, they can carry out gluteal fat grafting, which uses ultrasound during the procedure to make sure fat is not injected into the muscle. The Mirror has contacted Gloucestershire Constabulary for comment.
