‘Lip King’ Jordan James Parke has broken his silence after being linked to the death of a mother-of-five who died hours after undergoing a non-surgical BBL to improve her curve.
Dudley’s beautician insisted she was “fully qualified and insured to carry out the procedure” in exchanges with a doctor who expressed concerns about the case.
Last month it was reported that Alice Webb, 33, underwent ‘liquid BBL’ at a clinic in Gloucester run by beautician Jemma Pawlyszyn and Parke.
Webb was rushed to Gloucestershire Royal Hospital on September 24 after falling ill and died the following day.
Following this, two people were arrested on suspicion of manslaughter and released on bail, including Parke, 32, who appeared on US reality series Botched discussing cosmetic procedures he himself had undergone.
Beautician Jordan James Parke has addressed concerns raised following the death of a mother-of-five who died hours after undergoing a non-surgical BBL procedure.
Alice Webb (pictured), 33, reportedly underwent the procedure at The Studio 23 clinic in Gloucester, run by beautician Jemma Pawlyszyn and Parke, 32, nicknamed the ‘King of Lips’.
Webb is the first person to die in the UK from the procedure and the tragedy comes after repeated calls for tighter controls on the cosmetics industry.
Mr. Parke was responding to Dr Roshan Ravindran, a GP, cardiologist and aesthetic practitioner known as doctor roshbased in Cheshire.
Dr. Ravindran had posted a video on Instagram where he has more than 500,000 followers warning about the dangers of non-surgical BBL (short for Brazilian butt lift) in light of Webb’s death.
In the video he called for stricter regulation in the UK to ensure that “only trained medical professionals carry out these treatments safely and in a suitable environment”.
Responding to Dr Ravindran, Mr Parke also said he “trained under a Harley Street doctor”.
Parke, who describes himself on social media as “The Plastic Surgery Advocate”, is not a qualified surgeon but performs BBL filler, which is not classed as surgery.
The Kim Kardashian fan appeared on Botched in 2015 and again in 2019.
He asked doctors if they could help him fix his “leaky lips.”
Doctors on the show also denied her a second nose job due to concerns that her desired “pinched” nose would affect her ability to breathe.
Unlike a traditional BBL where fat is transferred from other areas of the body, a liquid BBL involves hyaluronic acid fillers.
Dermal filler, the same material used to fill the lips, is injected in large quantities into the buttocks.
They are often advertised on social media as a “cheaper” and “risk-free” alternative to the surgical counterpart.
Non-surgical BBLs are not illegal in the UK.
The popularity of non-surgical BBLs has increased significantly, but in England there is no standard licensing system for companies offering the procedure.
However, last year Wolverhampton City Council banned a company from carrying out liquid BBLs after identifying risks associated with its processes.
These included blood clots, sepsis and the possibility of death of body tissues.

Five local authorities in Essex and Glasgow followed suit and banned certain companies from carrying out liquid BBLs in their area.
Earlier this month, an inquest into Ms Webb’s death revealed that further investigation into the cause of death was needed.
Webb’s mother confirmed that doctors at the hospital were unable to revive Alice after the procedure.
Coroner Roland Wooderson said the medical cause of death has not yet been confirmed.
He added that the autopsy is currently being performed, and the date of the next hearing remains to be determined.
It is understood Ms Webb worked in the industry and attended a training session where she would learn how to perform the procedure before having her own.
When Mr Parke was asked to comment on Alice’s death when approached by MailOnline shortly after her death, he said: “I can’t speak to anyone.” They arrested me but released me.
