Expert warns against 'butterfly lips' filler trend that uses tape to give definition
You’ve probably heard of the Russian lip filler technique, but have you heard of butterfly lips? This method of applying filler for plump lips and an ultra-lifted Cupid’s bow has been doing the rounds on TikTok and Instagram for the past few weeks and is trending today after Lauren Goodger and Katie Price revealed the results of their own butterfly lip filler transformations.
You’ll notice both of their in-clinic selfies show their lips looking plumper than ever before, and that Steri-Strips have been used on the stars’ lips. This tape aspect of the butterfly method is what makes this filler trend potentially dangerous, explains Emma Wedgwood, a registered nurse and founder of Emma Wedgwood Aesthetics.
“I wouldn’t recommend this treatment to my patients as it is very unsafe and can carry a high risk of infection from the tape itself. It’s also important to note that taping your lips will not change their natural anatomy. Other side effects include prolonged downtime and lip filler migration caused by too many injections being administered too close together.”
