A Glasgow business has been banned from carrying out Brazilian Butt Lift procedures in the city.

Environmental Health Officers issued Health & Safety Prohibition Notices against a business in the West End of the city after carrying out an inspection.

It follows the ban issued to an English based firm and an individual practitioner earlier this month after a woman was treated in hospital when a procedure went wrong.

The business has not been named.

The Glasgow Times spoke to a woman who spent five days in hospital after a BBL carried out at a pop-up clinic at a city centre hotel by an English-based firm.

The new notices ban the business, from carrying out the non-surgical aesthetic buttock augmentation procedure known as a Brazilian Butt Lift or BBL.

It was found insufficient measures were in place to ensure that, as far as reasonably practicable, people undergoing a BBL were not exposed to risks to their health and safety.

As well as the BBL ban another notice refers to lip filler procedures.

The additional notice prohibits the company from using hyaluronidase, a prescription only substance, to dissolve dermal lip filler.

Concerns were found over the ability to react to potential emergencies at the practice.

Officers also found no evidence to demonstrate that sufficient medications, procedures and policies were in place to prevent and deal with emergency situations arising from the procedure such as infection, allergic reactions or anaphylaxis.

The company also failed to provide sufficient evidence to confirm the competency of those carrying out the procedure or that they were aware of the risks involved.

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

Councillor Ruairi Kelly, Convener for Neighbourhood Services, said: “Our Environmental Health officers are carrying out inspections of aesthetics clinics across the city to help safeguard the public.

“After inspecting this business, officers acted swiftly to protect people from risks to their health and safety.”

The business has 21 days within which it can appeal.
