A company which carried out a botched Brazilian Butt Lift in a Glasgow hotel leaving a woman hospitalised has been banned from operating in the city.

Glasgow City Council's Environmental Health Officers have served Prohibition Notices on two companies and an associated individual practitioner preventing them from carrying out high risk Brazilian Butt Lift and Breast Augmentation procedures anywhere within the city's boundaries.

We reported yesterday that a woman required emergency hospital treatment following a BBL procedure in a hotel function room in March this year.

The Health and Safety Prohibition Notices prohibit those involved from undertaking any BBL or breast augmentation procedures within any premises or locations within the Glasgow City Council local authority area, until evidence can be provided that these procedures will be carried out safely.

If those involved fail to comply with these notices, a report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal for consideration of a Prosecution, where the offender could face imprisonment, a significant fine, or both.

Councillor Ruairi Kelly, Glasgow's Convener for Neighbourhood Services, said: "Action has been taken by the council's Environmental Health team in a bid to prevent procedures being carried out in unsuitable and non-sterile locations. Three prohibition notices have been served on two companies and an associated individual practitioner.

"People need to be extremely careful when considering undergoing cosmetic procedures. If they go wrong - the consequences can be painful, disfiguring and require emergency medical treatment.

"Our Environmental Health officers are also carrying out inspections of aesthetic clinics in the city to help safeguard the public and will continue to take enforcement action when required."

Authorities recently confiscated thousands of pounds' worth of unlicensed and unprescribed cosmetic injection products from a warehouse in Glasgow.

Boxes of dermal fillers, needles and vials of Botulinum toxin, worth thousands of pounds, were seized by officers from the Criminal Enforcement Unit (CEU) of the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) from an industrial unit in the north of the city.

Both Glasgow City Council 's Environmental Health Officers and officers from the MHRA inspected the premises after receiving complaints from the public. Concerns had also been raised by Police Scotland about the type of products being stored, distributed and sold from the premises.

"I was diagnosed with two rare cancers in just six weeks - it didn't feel real"
A single mum diagnosed with two rare cancers just six weeks apart had to have SIX ORGANS REMOVED - including her ovaries, uterus and cervix. Hayley Shaw, 44, previously led an active lifestyle but pelvic pain and heavy periods led to the discovery of two cancerous uterine polyps in June 2023. Hayley's world was turned upside down when she was diagnosed with a rare form of uterine cancer which typically affects women over 70. She was then told she would have an induced menopause and need a hysterectomy - preventing her from having any more children. Following her hysterectomy, Hayley - a former image consultant - returned home for a few weeks only to begin feeling unwell again.
