Many people have Botox injections to alleviate stress in their trapezius muscles and slim their necks and shoulders.

There’s a new cosmetic trend called Trap Tox that brides are using to slim down their necks and shoulders for the wedding day.

Many people who are concerned with their appearance choose to have Botox injected into their trapezius muscles (also known as their “traps”) in order to reduce tension in those areas and to make their necks and shoulders appear slimmer.

The ‘controversial’ procedure is becoming increasingly popular among brides who wish to feel confident in strapless gowns.

Kim Kardashian may have helped kick off the trend when she was accused of manipulating a poolside Instagram shot to make her neck appear longer and thinner, inspiring many women to try the same thing.

TikToker Stace remarked in a video, “The most controversial thing I’m getting done for my wedding in September is Botox, but I’m not taking about a little sprinkle on my forehead and eyes.”

I am speaking about trapezius Botox. Yes, you go in two months before your nuptials, whip out your trapezius muscles, and inject them with Botox units. Thereafter, your traps will emaciate and vanish.

Overuse of the trapezius muscles, which extend from the back of the head through the neck and shoulders to the upper back, can cause them to become larger or overactive. 

But so far, women are undergoing the treatment to shrink their trapezius muscles for a more ‘feminine’ appearance.

When these muscles are out of proportion, the shoulders look ungainly and awkward.

Reducing the size of the neck and shoulders using Botox injections is a quick and easy way to seem more feminine.

Stace stated that she was excited to have the treatment done so she would feel more confident in her wedding dress four months from now.

“I don’t want to hear these justifications that your trapezius aren’t that large,” Stace added. “It will go unnoticed by everyone. Nobody gives a damn about this.”

“If I can avoid having to worry about my trapezius on my wedding day by wearing a strapless gown, then I will absolutely do so.”

A small amount of Botox injected into the trapezius and levator scapulae muscles can make the neck look longer, improve posture, and alleviate stress.

When Kim Kardashian was accused of editing a poolside Instagram photo to make her neck appear longer and slimmer, several women followed suit.

“Do you recall Kim K. doing something to reduce the appearance of her traps?” An aesthetic injector said in a TikTok video.

“I don’t know if you know this, but you can obtain that slimming look with just a little bit of tox, and you don’t even need to Photoshop your traps.”

According to an aesthetic injector, 40-50 units of Botox are injected into the trapezius muscles to provide a slimming effect and the lengthened look of the neck.

“It only takes approximately ten minutes to administer the treatment”, she said.

“The stress-relieving and relaxing effects begin in about two weeks, and the slimming effect fully manifests itself in around four to six weeks.”

It is estimated that the effects will last for four to six months.

The trap tox craze has polarized female internet users, with some eager to give it a try and others calling it “stupid”.

One female viewer of Stace’s video exclaimed, “I want this so bad.” 

A second concurred, saying, “Trap tox is LIFE-CHANGING for trap girls.” 

A third person said, “I can see wanting them gone for your wedding day, even though they don’t appear horrible or enormous, I would do the same.”

Some females claimed to adore their shoulder muscles and wish they were more defined.

“I do extra work in the weight room to develop my trapezius muscles. I’m so happy with mine!” someone exclaimed.  

“I assume that having a defined trapezius gives the collarbones, which I adore, a more defined appearance.” Another person added

A third said, “Wait, we don’t like traps anymore,” and a fourth replied, “Why do people detest traps? My traps are excellent to make me look fit.”

Several people who have undergone the treatment have said that it didn’t really change their looks.

“My traps have been injected with Botox every three months for the past three years. Mine showed no signs of alteration.”

Using Botox could be an option if patients are assured that skilled medical professionals will be able to restore their youthful appearance while leaving them looking completely natural.
