What is this medical tape called used post-op lip lifts? (Photo)

Question

Hi! I want to purchase this tape but can’t find it online, what is it called? thank you!

Jeffrey H. Spiegel, MD · Answer

That is a steristrip. But, it is not really a good choice for that location.  The lip / nose junction is too mobile for a steristrip to make much sense. And, the incision should be high enough that the tape would block your nostrils.  A silicone based scar gel is more appropriate.

Lexie Wang, MD · Answer

they are called steristrips. you can probably get them from your surgeon's office or see if they can be ordered online.
