Brazilian butt-lifts: Why have one?

Melissa Kerr , 31 , died in Turkey in November 2019 while undergoing a Brazilian butt-lift.

Coroner says she will write to the government to try to prevent any more deaths.

BBLs carry the highest risk of all cosmetic surgeries - with more than one death occurring per 4,000 procedures.

British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) says the procedure is the fastest-growing type of cosmetic surgery.

BAAPS issued joint statement on patient safety with the Turkish Society of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (TSPRAS) this summer .

The organisations now urge anyone travelling to Turkey for plastic surgery to follow new guidelines.

They were put out after BAAPS found complications in patients seeking treatment abroad rose by 35% in 2022 .
