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 undergoing a non-surgical BBL procedure.
Mrs Webb, 33 and a mother of five, reportedly underwent the procedure at The Studio 23 clinic in Gloucester, run by beautician Jemma Pawlyszyn and Parke, 32, nicknamed 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.
Jordan James Parke’s plastic surgery ‘obsession’ was born from a desire to look like reality star Kim Kardashian.
Parke, who appeared on US reality show Botched in 2019, is said to have undergone more than 50 procedures, including eyelid surgery, 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 once. You have to have it again and again.
“And if the surgeon is good, you still have the same type. I was once a mess of lips, but now I’m known in England as the King of Lips.”
But pictures dating back to her school days reveal a plumper face, a natural smile and a much smaller pout.
Before her first cosmetic touch-up at age 19, Parke is seen with seemingly minor cosmetic touch-ups aside from plucked eyebrows.
Her desire to transform her appearance was rooted in an obsession with the Kardashian family aesthetic, she told The Mirror in 2016.
Parke, who grew up in Birmingham, is pictured in his early days. The beautician is said to have had her first procedure at age 19.
Photographed as a younger man, Jordan James Park appears to have a much more natural look.
‘It’s the whole family (from whom I draw inspiration), but mainly Kim. But I love them all, their appearance, their way of dressing, they are simply an inspiration.
‘I wanted to have a chin like Kylie Jenner, with a very defined jawline. I love her jawline and she has a very sharp chin.’
That same year, the 24-year-old, who grew up in Birmingham, flew to Poland for a second nose job and a chin implant and jawline and neck liposuction.
He said, “I thought, you know what? I wanted it all done, so do it in one go.”
Webb died on Monday, just hours after undergoing the procedure believed to have involved the injection of chemical fillers, known as “liquid BBL.”
He had traveled to the Gloucester clinic from his home in Wotton-under-Edge. Later on Monday night, Alice was rushed to hospital, but died in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
It is the first time a person has died in the UK from the procedure and comes after campaign group Save Face called for stricter controls on the cosmetics market, warning that “people could die”.
Parke is a fan of Kim Kardashian and has spent more than £130,000 on cosmetic surgery.
Jorden James Parke, 32, has undergone more than 50 procedures to completely transform his face.
Parke first came to public attention in 2015, when he appeared on the US reality show Botched asking doctors if they could help him fix his “drippy lips”.
Then, by age 23, she had undergone more than 50 lip filler procedures and regular Botox injections, which she funded through her own business and family loans.
Doctors on the show denied her a second nose job due to concerns that her desired “pinched” nose would affect her ability to breathe.
He appeared on the show again in 2019 when he was also turned down for surgery to reshape his nose.
Doctors said it would involve taking a piece of rib and inserting it into the nose, a procedure that would be too risky.
They also advised against any future plastic surgery, warning that it would fall into a “vicious cycle.”
A liquid Brazilian butt lift (BBL) is designed to make the buttocks larger, more rounded or lifted and involves injecting fat or dermal filler into the buttocks to change its size or shape.
A GoFundMe page set up for Alice Webb, where tributes to the much-loved mother of five have been shared.
Alice Webb, 33, died just hours after undergoing the liquid BBL procedure earlier this week.
This is different from surgical BBLs which involve removing fat from other areas of the body and then transferring it to the buttocks.
While non-surgical BBLs are not illegal in the UK, Wolverhampton City Council last year banned a company from carrying out the procedure after identifying risks associated with its processes, including blood clots, sepsis and the potential for tissue death. corporal.
Five local authorities in Essex and Glasgow followed suit and banned certain companies from carrying out liquid BBLs in their area.
Unlike facial fillers, where complications can be managed by expert injectors, these procedures often require a hospital setting, intravenous medications, and surgical intervention to correct.
A Save Face survey of more than 2,200 healthcare professionals practicing aesthetic medicine also saw that 98 per cent of them said they do not offer liquid BBLs, as there is a “high risk of multiple complications”.
The organization has long been asking the Government to ban the procedure.
The Studio 23 sign could be seen on the property when MailOnline visited it in Gloucester.
Save Face Registered 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 at great cost to the patient, who is dragged by misleading advertising into a shockingly dangerous environment with a very real potential for death from complications.”
In March, a mother of one also called for a ban on liquid BBLs after a botched procedure left her buttocks with black holes and pain “worse than childbirth”.
Meanwhile, traditional BBLs are one of the most dangerous types of cosmetic surgery available.
The risk of death is higher than that of most operations, currently estimated at one in 15,000.
Surgeons can accidentally inject the fat into the bloodstream, which can cause a life-threatening blood clot.
This complication is what killed Leah Cambridge, 29, a British mother who died in August 2018 after paying £6,500 to get a BBL in Turkey.
Alice Webb is the first person to die from a liquid BBL procedure on British soil.
