People are being warned to steer clear of ‘bargain basement’ Brazilian butt lift (BBL) procedures in the run-up to Christmas – no matter how ‘enticing’ they look.

Prospective punters are being ‘lured in’ by cut-price all-inclusive packages including 25% discounts along with hotels and flights for under £3,000.
