Paper tape vs. silicone tape after Breast Lift? (photos)

January 24, 2016
Asked By:Tampalift in Tampa, FL

Is there a difference between paper tape and silicone tape (not sheets)? My paper tapes are starting to lift and I want to buy more tape to replace it with. I saw these at target and I'm wondering if these are ok to use the same way paper tape is used? I'm almost 3 weeks post op. Thanks!
