I spoke to tragic BBL mum hours before op that killed her – I begged her not to do it, but they put her at ease

A MUM-of-five who died when a Brazilian Bum Lift went wrong was warned by her closest friend: “You don’t need it – you already look beautiful”.
Alice Webb’s “second mum” Dianna Webb, 58, said she told her younger cousin she did not need the procedure only hours before she died after having a ‘liquid BBL’.
Cops rushed to a house at around 11.30pm after the alarm was raised with ambulances already at the scene.
Alice was taken to the Gloucestershire Royal Infirmary but died in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
Two people were arrested on suspicion of manslaughter on Monday night, Gloucestershire Police confirmed.
They have both since been bailed.
A tearful Diana, who calls herself Alice’s “second mum” as she helped raise her, told The Sun: “We had 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 on the phone for two hours before she went. Alice said they seemed really professional and put her at ease about the procedure.
“She was not one of these people that would go and just have something done without looking at every little detail first, obviously because she worked in the industry too.
“Alice put her heart into her work.
“She took every course she could take, including this one, because she wanted to make sure she got everything right.”
Her favourite artist was legendary American country star Loretta Lynn.
Yesterday Alice’s widower 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.”
Reliving the moment she found out the BBL had gone wrong, Dianna said: “I got a call and someone asked if I was sitting down, and then they told me Alice had passed away.
“It was very late at night. I just felt shock. I went straight to the hospital but there was nothing that could be done.
“I spoke to her and kissed her goodbye, and that’s the last time I saw her.”
Dianna said her family would demand the government ban liquid BBL injections to make sure Alice’s death was “the first and the last” on British shores.
She said: “We want justice now because nobody else should go through what we are going through.
“We want the government to ban these now because my cousin’s death must be the first and the last.”
A full BBL, which costs around £3,500 in Turkey but £10,000 in the UK, carries the highest risk of all cosmetic surgeries with more than one death per 4,000 procedures.
Melissa Kerr, 31, from Gorleston, Norfolk, died in 2019 when a fatal clot travelled to her lungs following a £3,200 procedure at an Istanbul clinic.
So sad!! When will people be happy with what god gave them!!!!! Saggy breast, no bottom, eye color transplants, etc!!!! The lord gave them what he wanted!!!!!
