Celebrity butt-lift injector who left women with exposed by BBC
A self -styling “beauty consultant”, which includes Katie Price in the Celebrity Client List, is offering potentially dangerous cosmetic processes to customers and is illegally handing over the drug – a BBC investigation has discovered.
Ricky Sawyer Liquid is an expert in Brazilian butt -Lifts (BBLS) – including injecting and injecting dermal filler in the buttocks to lift them.
BBC News has spoken to its five customers who required the treatment of emergency hospital after their procedures. We are also shown testimony of more than 30 women who say they have been abandoned with serious complications such as sepsis and necrosis (tissue death).
A woman told us that she felt when she “died” with that pain after treatment.
Several local authorities have banned Mr. Syar from practicing in their areas.
Our undercover filming captured Mr. Sareer by handing off antibiotics without a legitimate prescription – a criminal offense. He is not eligible to determine and the bullets were not labeled to a specific patient.
He offered to inject the growing dose of local anesthetic without a priscreber – again illegal – and did not ask for the weight of our reporter, thus he was at risk of an overdose.

Presenting as a potential customer and his friend, we booked a 45 -minute appointment with Mr. Sayer through our Instagram page. We told him that we wanted 200ml (7fl Oz) liquid BBL injection cost £ 1,200. We paid £ 200 deposits.
Despite being advertised that all liquid BBLs would be performed under the guidance of “ultrasound specialist doctor”, no one was present in their pop-up clinic. He was working out of a small room in the East London Office block – a non -neatal environment that would have increased the risk of infection.
Within five minutes of being in his office, Mr. Syre began to encourage our reporter to think about increasing the amount of filler. “You may be surprised about how much product you can have and still look natural,” he suggested.
By the end of the appointment, Mr. Syre had offered a liter of filler – 500 ml (about one pint) per butt at a cost of £ 2,000.
We did not go with it and later returned to put our allegations on them – but they refused to answer our questions and slammed the door on our reporter.
Reviewing our footage, plastic surgeon Dalvi Hamza, who sits on a joint committee of cosmetic physicians, said that Mr. Syrock’s work was “shocking”, “very dangerous”, and patients with infections and possible fatal complications Was putting at risk.
“In a seating that volume, it is really dangerous,” said Mr. Humazah. “The buttocks are such a large area that if they become infected, it can overwhelm the body and end in sepsis – or even death.”

The filler used for liquid BBLS is often made of hyaluronic acid, which is usually used in the treatment of facial filling. Because large amounts of acid are involved in BBLS, and there is a risk of serious side effects such as blood clots and sepsis, it is considered one of the most dangerous cosmetic processes.
Mr. Sareer claimed on camera that he performed seven processes a day six days a week. He can charge thousands of pounds per appointment.
The women who said that they had experienced serious complications after obtaining liquid BBL from Sri Syar. A mother of two from South Wales, who only wanted to use her first name, traveled to seven hours for Acex for treatment.
After many advertisements of Ricky Syre and other cosmetic remedies by Celebrity Endorsments, a liquid BBL did not take such a big step.
She wanted all, she says, there was a “peach butts”.
But when Joan reached, he started getting other thoughts.

She was sent only one postcode and says she was running in an industrial property.
Finally, she found a small door in a block of flats and says that she was asked to wait in the “Dingi Little Hallway” for about half an hour.
She says, “I should have turned and run,” but I paid £ 600 deposits and traveled in this way. ,
She was taken to a small room, where “had only one bed, a small stool and a worktop”, and she is here where she says she first met Ricky Sawyer.
After counting the rest of her cash – £ 2,000 in total – she says she asked her to stand in front of her while sitting on the stool.
As he began to inject it with a liter (1.8 pin) filler, the pain quickly became unbearable.
She says, “I was dizzy, like sick and instability. My legs did not even go properly. And it all started within a minute,” she says. “I remember he looked round and he had white gloves that were filled with blood.”
By the end of the process, Joan was in pain: “I was in great pain, my floor was completely disintegrated.”
She says that she could sit hard. By the time she reached home, swelling started and she could hardly walk.

“I messaged Ricky Load several times to say how bad I was and how worried I was. He just asked me to take my antibiotics.”
By this point, Sepsis started setting.
Joan says, “My temperature kept going up and I felt terrible.” “I had to call 999. I was dripping and screaming.”
At the hospital, she was associated with intravenous antibiotics. At one point, a surgeon attracted on his buttock to indicate where they might need to be cut, as the infection was spreading so quickly.
Messaging Ricky Sawyer said that she was in the hospital with Sepsis, she says she blocked her from her Instagram account.
Fortunately, Joan did not require an operation.
One of the customers of Shri Syre, Lewis Moller required life -saving emergency surgery.
Four days after receiving the liquid BBL at his Essex Clinic in October 2023, a 28 -year -old man from Bolton was in the hospital.
He narrated to his mother Janet of the A&E Department of Salford Royal, saying: “Mam, I think I am going to die.”
Lewis had contracted Sepsis and was warned by the surgeons that she could die at any time. To prevent the infection from going through her body, they cut the dead tissue from an area, which almost covers her entire left butt.

Janet promised her daughter that she would stop this from happening to someone else and informed Ricky Sawyer to her local police station in Bolton.
“How can he take to know that he can kill someone?” He told the BBC.
However, the case of Lewis exposes difficulty in justifying doctors like him.
Janet says that he had told the police in Bolton that the file would need to pass the Essex police, where the incident took place.
However, an prosecution could be difficult, he was warned, as Lewis signed as consent.
BBC News has contacted both Greater Manchester Police and Essex Police to receive an update on the case – both have said that it is below for another for investigation.

From a legal perspective, it is very low to prevent Sri Syre from practicing.
Injecting dermal fillers is seen as non -surgical and is irregular, meaning that one can do so – and they cannot be closed and prevented.
In September 2024, Alice Web is believed to have become The first person to die after receiving liquid BBL In Britain. Its process was not done by Ricky Sayer.
After his death, the face sev – a group that campaigns for greater regulation to cover non -physical processes – a new law called for a new law to ban liquid BBL. GMC is done out of being done by anyone other than the surgeons registered with).
The founder of Save Face, Ashton Colins, says his organization has received complaints of 39 women about Ricky Sawyer.
All women, she says, has told them that they need immediate treatment for the hospital. Each of them, she says, was a BBL and faced complications such as sepsis, necrosis and disintegration.
“We have encouraged these women to report their experiences,” she says. “Some have, and nothing has been done.”
So far, the most effective action has been taken by local authorities, three of which – Glasgow City Council, Eping Forest District Council and Brentwood Council – confirmed that they prohibited prohibition under health and safety law to protect the public from serious injuries. Was issued.
“She only moves forward and moves forward in various regions of the country,” says Ms. Colines.

We put our evidence for the Department of Health and Social Care, stating that it was “looking at the options for hard regulation immediately”.
It said that our findings were “shocking people” and that without a license “people who remove the drug should feel full force of the law”.
We tried to personally place his allegations to Ricky Sawyer, facing him at our East London Clinic.
As soon as he saw the camera, he tried to bang the door on us, before hiding behind it.
We asked him if he was breaking the law by handing over the prescription, and if he had anything to say to the women who say that they were left with such serious injuries that they need emergency care Was.
“No,” he said – and asked us to leave.
Ashton Colins says that the dangers of irregular cosmetic surgery should be taken more seriously.
“The normal vibe that you raise is that these are foolish women who have made silly options, operated through pride, and this is their own mistake.”
This is a attitude that needs to be replaced, she says: “People are taking risks with people’s lives there, and they can do so.”
