The popularity of the Barbie movie has sparked a new trend on TikTok where women are seeking Botox injections in their necks to resemble the iconic doll. Social media is flooded with videos showing the before and after images of the trapezius muscle, which runs along the back of the neck and shoulders. Supporters of the ‘Barbie Botox’ trend claim that it not only elongates and slims the neck but also relieves tension and improves posture. However, experts caution that the trend can damage muscles and may not have the same slimming effect on everyone. The procedure involves injecting Botox into the trapezius muscles to relax and shrink them. The treatment lasts less than an hour and costs around £800. One woman, who documented her progress one month after the procedure, claims to feel more relaxed. Botox, which uses botulinum toxin, is a well-known brand used to paralyze facial muscles and reduce wrinkles. By injecting it into the trapezius muscle, the muscle shrinks due to decreased stimulation, resulting in a thinner, more contoured neck. TikTok videos showcasing women with “relaxed” and elongated shoulders have gained thousands of views. Plastic surgeons are promoting the trend, highlighting benefits such as achieving a “swan-like neck” and alleviating migraines. However, it is important to note that the procedure should only be carried out by experienced practitioners. Clinics in the UK have observed an increase in people interested in trying out this emerging trend. Some practitioners caution against unrealistic expectations and remind individuals to consider their suitability for the procedure. It is important to get the right amount of Botox injected as excessive amounts can weaken the trap muscles, which are essential for everyday movements.
