Title: kinesiology taping
Post by: vicenza2010 on March 15, 2015, 09:43:42 pm

Dear friends,
I was wondering if the kinesiology taping, a technique used in sports medicine, could be useful to correct the asymmetry of my lower lip or for the platysma.
After two years of my surgery I still have a deeper nose-labial fold on my weaker side and sometimes the platysma muscle pops out.
I googled a lot but I could find just few pictures.
Any input is  very welcome.

I have not heard of kinesiology taping for the face. I believe I used it for my knee years ago. I don't see how this might be useful, as it would just temporarily hold the skin in position. It sounds like you might benefit more from Botox in your neck, and stretching exercises for both the nasolabial fold and your platysma. (But honestly it sounds like you are doing quite well!)
