Beautician Jordan James Parke has discussed the concerns raised following the death of a mother-of-five who died hours after a non-surgical BBL procedure.
Alice Webb, 33, reportedly underwent the procedure at a Gloucester clinic run by beautician Jemma Pawlyszyn and Parke, dubbed the ‘Lip King’.
She was rushed to Gloucestershire Royal Hospital on September 24 after becoming unwell and died the next day.
Since then, two people have been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter and released on bail, including Parke, 32, who appeared on US reality TV series Botched and discussed the cosmetic procedures he himself had undergone.
Ms Webb is the first person to die in Britain as a result of the procedure and the tragedy comes after repeated calls for stricter controls on the cosmetic industry.

It is reported that Alice Webb (pictured), 33, underwent the procedure at the Studio 23 clinic in Gloucester, run by beautician Jemma Pawlyszyn and Parke, 32, dubbed the ‘Lip King’.
Yesterday, Mr Parke insisted he was ‘fully qualified and insured to carry out the procedure’ in a conversation with a doctor who had raised concerns about Ms Webb’s death.
He was responding to Dr. Roshan Ravindran, a general practitioner, cardiologist and aesthetic doctor known as Dr. Roshbased in Cheshire.
Dr. Ravindran had posted a video on Instagram to his more than 500,000 followers warning of the dangers of non-surgical Brazilian Butt Lifts (BBL) in light of Ms Webb’s death.
In the video, he called for stricter regulations in Britain to ensure that ‘only trained medical professionals carry out these treatments safely and in an appropriate environment’.
Responding to Dr Ravindran, Mr Parke also said he had ‘trained with a doctor from Harley Street’.
Mr Parke, who describes himself on social media as ‘The Plastic Surgery Advocate’, is not a qualified surgeon but performs the filler BBL, which is unregulated.
The Kim Kardashian fanatic appeared in the American reality TV series Botched in 2015.
He asked doctors if they could help fix his ‘leaky lips’.
Doctors on the show also denied him a second rhinoplasty because they were concerned that his desired ‘pinched’ nose would affect his ability to breathe.
Unlike a traditional BBL where fat is transferred from other parts of the body, a liquid BBL uses hyaluronic acid fillers.
Dermal filler – the same material used to fill the lips – is injected into the buttock in large quantities.
They are often advertised on social media as a ‘risk-free’, ‘cheaper’ alternative to the surgical counterpart.
Non-surgical BBLs are not illegal in Britain.
The popularity of non-surgical BBLs has increased significantly, but there is no standard licensing system in England for companies offering the procedure.
However, last year Wolverhampton City Council banned a company from carrying out liquid BBLs after identifying risks associated with their processes.
These include blood clots, sepsis and the possibility of 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.
Earlier this month, an inquest into Ms Webb’s death found that further investigation was needed into the cause of death.
Mrs Webb’s mother confirmed that hospital medics were unable to revive Alice after the procedure.
The coroner, Roland Wooderson, said the medical cause of death had not yet been confirmed.
He added that a post-mortem examination is currently being conducted and the next hearing date is yet to be fixed.
It is understood Ms Webb worked in the industry and attended a training session where she would learn how to carry out the procedure before having her own procedure done.
Asked to comment on Alice’s death when contacted by MailOnline shortly after her death, Mr Parke said: ‘I can’t talk to anyone. I was arrested, but I was released.”
