Ministers have launched a crackdown on cosmetic ‘cowboys’ who recklessly deliver Botox, fillers and Brazilian butt lifts.
Patients will be protected by ‘robust’ new restrictions on who can access and provide the treatments and where they can be done.
Officials warn 'rogue operators’ with no medical training are maiming and killing people by carrying out ‘invasive’ procedures in homes, hotels and pop-up clinics.
The NHS is often left to pick up the cost of correcting botched care, the Department of Health and Social Care said.
Under the new rules, only health workers who are ‘suitably qualified’ will be able to deliver high-risk procedures such as Brazilian Butt Lifts (BBLs), which involves injecting chemicals into the bottom to give a plumper appearance.
