Bizarre life of surgery-obsessed ‘Lip King’ linked to the death of Alice Webb BBL – and what he looked like BEFORE

Beautician and TV star Jordan James Parke has been thrust into the spotlight this week following the death of Alice Webb – who died hours after a non-surgical BBL procedure.

Ms Webb, a 33-year-old mother of five, is said to have had the procedure at the Studio 23 clinic in Gloucester, which is run by beautician Jemma Pawlyszyn and Parke, 32, dubbed the ‘British Lip King’.

Earlier this week, Parke told MailOnline he had been arrested in connection with the death but has since been released.

Now MailOnline can reveal shocking images of the plastic surgery obsessive, showing what he looked like before undergoing a series of cosmetic treatments.

Parke, who appeared in the American reality show Botched in 2019, is said to have undergone more than fifty procedures, including an eyelid correction, a lip lift, a chin implant, several rounds of liposuction and four nose jobs.

In a 2016 interview, he said, “Plastic surgery is like sex. You can’t have it just once. You have to have it again and again.

‘And if the surgeon is good, you will continue to deal with the same man. I was once a lip disaster, but now I’m known in England as the Lip King.’

But images from his school days show a fuller face, a natural smile and a much smaller pout.

Prior to his first cosmetic touch-ups at the age of 19, Parke is seen with seemingly minor cosmetic touch-ups aside from plucked eyebrows.

His desire to transform his appearance was rooted in an obsession with the Kardashian family’s aesthetic, he told The Mirror in 2016.

‘It’s the whole family (that I get inspiration from), but especially Kim. But I love them all, their looks, the way they dress, they are just an inspiration.

‘I wanted my chin like Kylie Jenner’s, with a really defined jawline. I love her jawline and she has such a sharp chin.”

The same year, the then 24-year-old, who grew up in Birmingham, flew to Poland for a second rhinoplasty, as well as a chin implant and jawline and neck liposuction.

He said, “I just thought, you know what, I wanted to get it all done, so get it done in one go.”

Ms Webb died on Monday, just hours after the procedure which involved the suspected injection of chemical fillers known as a ‘liquid BBL’.

She had traveled to the Gloucester clinic from her home in Wotton-under-Edge. Later on Monday evening, Alice was rushed to hospital but died in the early hours of Tuesday morning.

It is the first time that someone has died from the procedure in Britain, after campaign group Save Face called for stricter controls on the cosmetics market and warned that ‘people could die’.

Parke first came to public attention in 2015, when he appeared on US reality TV Botched and asked doctors if they could help fix his ‘leaky lips’.

By the age of 23, he had undergone more than 50 lip filling procedures and regular Botox injections, which he financed through his own business and family loans.

Doctors on the show denied him a second rhinoplasty because they were concerned that his desired ‘pinched’ nose would affect his ability to breathe.

He appeared on the show again in 2019 when he was also turned down for surgery to reshape his nose.

It would involve taking a piece of his rib and inserting it into the nose, doctors said – a procedure that would be far too risky.

They also advised against future plastic surgeries, warning he would end up in a ‘vicious cycle’.

A liquid Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is designed to make the buttocks larger, rounder or lifted and involves injecting fat or dermal filler into the buttocks to change its size or shape.

This differs from surgical BBLs where fat is extracted from other parts of the body and then transferred to the buttocks.

Although non-surgical BBLs are not illegal in Britain, Wolverhampton City Council last year banned a company from carrying out the procedure after identifying risks associated with their processes, including blood clots, sepsis and the possibility of the death of body tissues.

Five local authorities in Essex and Glasgow followed suit and have banned certain companies from exporting liquid BBLs in their areas.

Unlike facial fillers, where complications can be treated by experienced injectors, these procedures often require a hospital setting, intravenous medications, and surgical procedures to correct.

A Save Face survey of more than 2,200 healthcare professionals who practice aesthetic medicine also found that 98 percent of them said they would not offer liquid BBLs due to the “high risk of multiple complications.”

The organization has long been calling on the government to ban the procedure.

Save Face registrar and plastic surgeon Dr Paul Baguley said: ‘There is nothing about the way this treatment is currently offered that is safe, moral or ethical.

‘The only result of this procedure is an unquestionably poor outcome that comes at a high cost to the patient who is drawn by false advertising into a shockingly dangerous environment with a very real chance of death from complications.’

In March, a mother-of-one also called for a ban on liquid BBLs after a botched procedure left her bottom with leaking black holes and pain ‘worse than childbirth’.

Traditional BBLs, meanwhile, are one of the most dangerous forms of cosmetic surgery available.

The risk of death is higher than with most operations, currently estimated at one in 15,000.

Surgeons can accidentally inject the fat into the bloodstream, causing a potentially fatal blood clot.

One such complication is the death of Leah Cambridge, 29, a British mother who died in August 2018 after paying £6,500 to obtain a BBL in Turkey.

Alice Webb has become the first person to die as a result of a liquid BBL procedure on British soil.
