Stop dithering on Brazilian butt lift crackdown, say MPs

February 18, 2026

A cross-party group of UK MPs is calling for immediate action to impose stricter regulations on high-risk cosmetic procedures like Brazilian butt lifts (BBLs), citing a lack of oversight that has led to unsafe practices. The Women and Equalities Committee argues that only qualified doctors should perform these procedures, effectively pushing for a ban due to the associated risks. Despite government proposals for similar measures, there is no confirmed timeline for implementation.
