A public health chief is warning that certain beauty procedures - such as butt flits - might be taking place in hotel rooms. An urgent warning has been issued to people in Manchester seeking cosmetic procedures, including Brazilian butt lifts and breast augmentation, as they ‘may be taking place this week in Manchester in non-clinical settings’.
That presents a risk to infection control, medics believe, prompting the authority to issue the urgent warning to would-be customers. A statement said: “The council has been made aware that certain cosmetic procedures – specifically Filler Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) [or] breast augmentation – may be taking place this week in Manchester in non-clinical settings.
“If you are offered treatments in other types of non-clinical premises such as hotel rooms or, you book a treatment and don’t receive the location where the treatment will be carried out until shortly beforehand, we would urge you to contact Manchester City Council environmental health on 0161 234 5004 so the council can ensure that any procedures will be carried out in accordance with the required health and safety and infection control procedures.”
A Brazilian butt lift is a surgery where a doctor transfers fat from your belly, hips, lower back, or thighs to your buttocks. The result is more of an hourglass-shaped figure, with larger buttocks. Breast augmentation — also known as augmentation mammoplasty — is surgery to increase breast size. It involves placing breast implants under breast tissue or chest muscles.
Dr Cordelle Ofori, the council's Director of Public Health, has now added her voice to the warning and said action could be taken to stop them if the necessary assurances over their safety aren't given. She added: “The council takes health and safety extremely seriously and has been concerned by reports about potentially unsafe cosmetic procedures taking place.

“These procedures must take place in a clinical setting to mitigate any potential risk of infection and to prioritise the patient’s safety. Our officers have been working this week to gain assurances that any procedures taking place are safe and being conducted
in the appropriate environment.
“If these assurances cannot be made, the council will take steps to intervene. For any information or guidance on what to do if you have booked in for this kind of treatment please contact the Council’s Environmental Health Team by calling 0161 234 5004.”
