MEDICAL experts and victims of catastrophic cosmetic procedures are backing a Mirror campaign to clean up Britain’s beauty industry.

Mum Alice Webb died after a liquid Brazilian butt lift, while high-risk procedures have left hundreds of others injured or fighting for life.

Alice’s partner Dane Knight, campaign group Save Face and the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons are joining us in demanding action.

Some procedures are being done by people with just hours of training, an ITV X documentary revealed this week.
