Lip Taping is a popular lip filler trend gaining traction on social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram.
Understanding Lip Taping in Cosmetic Procedures
According to current descriptions of this trend:
- Lip Taping is a technique performed by practitioners after lip filler injections.
- It involves using sterile tape applied directly to the lips.
- The purpose of taping is twofold: to help give a more everted lip appearance and to prevent lip filler migration.
How Lip Taping Works
After the lip filler has been injected, the practitioner carefully applies sterile tape to the lips. The intention behind this step is to:
- Shape the Lips: The tape is strategically placed to potentially encourage the lip tissue to adopt a specific, often more 'flipped-out' or everted, shape as the filler settles.
- Stabilize the Filler: By securing the lip area, the tape aims to minimize the movement or "migration" of the injected filler material from the lip body into surrounding tissues.
This post-injection technique has become a notable trend shared widely online, suggesting a growing interest in methods to optimize lip filler results and minimize potential complications like migration.
