Barbie BOTOX?! Aka Trap Tox | Dr Somji Explains

Although the new Barbie movie emphasises body positivity by featuring a diverse cast and chipping away at unrealistic Barbie doll beauty standards, it has still sparked a rise in cosmetic procedures among those wanting to achieve a “Barbie look".

#BarbieBotox is the latest cosmetic trend sweeping social media following the release of the film, with the hashtag garnering over 4.4 millions views. Users on TikTok have been documenting themselves getting injections in order to “slim down” the neck and shoulders.

Trapezius Botox is a procedure that involves injecting botulinum toxin, or Botox, in between the neck and shoulder to partially relax the trapezius muscles and relieve pain.

Although trapezius Botox is typically done in order to relieve that back and shoulder pain, some patients get it done in order to create the illusion of a longer and slimmer neck. Following the premiere of Barbie, content creators have documented themselves getting #BarbieBotox injections in an attempt to mimic the neck and shoulders of the dolls.

This is not a trend people should follow unless medically necessary, noting that Barbie features are unrealistic and the cosmetic procedure won’t have much of a noticeable effect on the appearance of most people.

I have severe shoulder and neck pain. I will definitely look into this it’s less invasive.

[soundaholixx]

Today i learned botox isn't just for the appearance and self-esteem

[kalanzartwork]

Omg there’s a cure for this pain I had my whole life. I’m a 39 year old male that has sometimes severe pain on my neck that follow my shoulder and traps. As I get older, somehow it’s get worse, I do push ups for a quick relieve, stretches every night, and now I’m trying some yoga. I lift weights moderately but my traps are built like mountain but that’s is the only part of my body I don’t work out.

My uncle gets botox regularly for muscle tightening on half of his body. He is hemipalegic. Its helped tremendously.

[rachellepoirier]

My doctor uses Botox in this area to help with my migraines and cervical dystonia. It has been a life saver.

[arainniara]

I need this so bad because of the pain but my insurance doesn't cover this

[Boo-pvhn]

I didn’t know it could be helpful for pain! I get constant shoulder and back ache and I’ve tried almost everything but never thought about this as a solution

[Lrkkk]

Omg I'm someone with very tight and painful trapezius muscle and nothing works for my traps not even stretching/yoga 😭sure gonna look into it.

[cronobear]

I got the “nefitiri” Botox done and my neck isn’t as tight anymore. Got some on my traps too and it has been a relief for me.

[KeepNitReeel]

Does it take away really really bad knots?!?!
If so I NEED THIS!

[RachelBrowergalilei]

Oh nice! My traps are huge from always tensing my muscles there.

What gage needle is necessary? I'm a baby. 👶

[jessicamerced]

I have extremely tight trap muscles…not only is it not the best look as a female, when it’s really bad but it causes insane migraines and neck pain quite frequently. I can’t keep taking NSAIDS everyday so this is something to consider. If anyone has any experience with tension headaches and getting this done please comment below!

[ErikaAquarius]

Isn’t the toxin AMAZING!!! It’s magical 🥰🥰🥰

[laurenj]

Is it possible to achieve this result at home by doing posture exercises? After the pandemic my shoulders have felt permanently hunched and slouched even though I’m only in my twenties and it feels too late to correct it naturally, the muscles are SO tense😭

[souadlovesD]

If i keep working out will i get these results ?

[suzisuzim]

Is it safe if we re going neck massages twice in a month? Can I take a neck massage aftet botox?

[anonymous-tdwy]

That needle is too short it’s going sub q I thought muscle needs 1 inch needle

[melaniecampbell]

@Drsomjiskin who comes up with this stuff! It saddens me that women can be so desperate!

[Vader_]

Oh he's not a real doctor that's sad
