Liquid butt lifts targeted in clampdown on England's cosmetic wild west'
Briefly

Ministers will implement new regulations on cosmetic procedures, particularly targeting unsafe practices such as liquid Brazilian butt lifts. Only qualified healthcare professionals will be permitted to perform high-risk treatments. The current absence of a licensing requirement for aesthetic procedures has created hazardous conditions, resulting in severe injuries and fatalities. Clinics must be licensed by local authorities for less risky cosmetic work, including Botox and fillers. The government plans to consult the public on which procedures should fall under these new regulations and emphasized the importance of verifying provider qualifications.
Ministers announced new regulations aimed at banning cowboy cosmetic procedures like liquid Brazilian butt lifts. Only qualified healthcare professionals will be allowed to perform high-risk treatments.
