Mum, 33, becomes 1st person to die from Brazilian Bum Lift in Britain as two arrested over ‘manslaughter’
A “BEAUTIFUL” mum-of-five has become the first person to die in the UK from a Brazilian Bum Lift operation.
Alice Webb, 33, was having the cosmetic treatment at a studio in Gloucester when it “went wrong”.
Ambulances and police rushed to her house on Monday evening around 9pm after the alarm was raised.
Alice was taken to the Gloucestershire Royal Infirmary but died around two hours later.
Her devastated partner Dane Knight, 38, posted a tribute online saying: “Want to say a heartfelt thank you to all family and friends that were here for us at our time of need, including all of the kind messages sent to my children and myself.
“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."
Alice, who has five daughters aged between seven and 15, was also involved in the beauty treatment industry as an advanced aesthetic practitioner.
A GoFundMe page set up by her pal Abigail Irwin revealed the tragedy.
The page description reads: "I am hoping to raise as many funds as we can to support Dane, the partner of Alice and their five beautiful children at this very difficult sad time.
"Alice passed away Monday evening after having the BBL treatment which has gone wrong.
"Alice joined the beauty & Aesthetics industry two years ago and she has been smashing it, doing amazing.
"She cared about her clients, she would always check in to see if they were OK, Alice was a beautiful person inside and out and I feel very lucky to have known her and to have spent time with her in our salon.
"Alice would ask for advice all the time and ask to check if there was anything more she could do to improve her skills but she was just a pure natural and never needed my help but always wanting to be the best at her job and that she was.
"Alice has passed away at a young age of 34. Alice was beautiful inside and out with the biggest heart, her family was her world she is leaving behind her partner Dane & 5 beautiful children.
"As you can imagine this is a very difficult heart breaking time for them all so if we can all help donate or share to help take of some financial stress it would be really appreciated by the family."
A police car was yesterday stationed outside the large semi-detached house on the quiet residential street.
Neighbours said two ambulances arrived at a property on Monday evening.
The following day, a police van pulled up outside the five-bed property and four officers spent several hours loading “technical machinery”, computers and paperwork into the vehicle.
A police car has also been parked outside “24/7” since the tragedy, one neighbour said.
He added: “There’s been a lot of coming and going since the ambulances were here but no one will tell us anything.
“The house used to be a home for the mentally disabled but it changed hands this time last year and was set up as an aesthetics clinic.
“They’ve spent a fortune doing it up, from what I can tell.”
