FIG. 1 shows several body contouring adhesive apparatus where the first side of the apparatus comprises an adhesive solution that is non water soluble, breathable and highly elastic. The adhesive solution or tape acts as a secondary muscle in lifting and supporting a body part and manipulating body parts to a desired shape. The adhesive solution can be any tape or a liquid adhesive that is pressure sensitive and coated with adhesives on both sides, consisting of film, foam, paper and a foil carrier. The adhesive solution or tape comprises a medical grade adhesive or a non-medical grade adhesive. The first side of the tape or the adhesive can attach to a designated body part whereas the second side can be coated with a variety of different textiles depending on the area of the body. For example, the pre-cut pre-sized breast lift cup shaped lace material 24 can have a lace only second side, the pre-cut butt lifts shaped lace material 28 can have a lace only second side, the pre-cut tape for the nose 32 can have a lace only second side, where the second side of the pre-cut tape for the nose can be make-up blendable. The pre-cut nipple pasties 36 can have a lace only second side and a cotton liner on the first adhesive side for comfort. The pre-cut adhesive for the eye lift 40 can have a lace only second side, the pre-cut pre-sized breast lift cup for half coverage 44 can have a lace and silicone second side where the silicone can provide shape and the lace can provide support and lift The pre-cut lifts for the female genitals 48 can have a lace only second side and a first side lined with cotton liner. The pre-cut pre-sized side breast shaper cups 52 can have a lace only second side and the waist shaper 56 can have a lace only second side for support and lift. The pre-cut pre-sized full coverage breast lift cups 60 can have a lace and silicone second side for shaping, support and lift The pre-cut under arm lift 64 can have a lace only second side and the pre-cut adhesive for the eyebrow lift 68 can have a lace only second side. The pre-cut cleavage enhancement 72 can have a lace only second side and the pre-cut chin and neck lifts 76 can have a lace only second side for lifting the chin and neck into a desired shape. The pre-cut full coverage butt lift cups 80 can have a lace and silicon second side.

[0033] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a pre-sized breast lift cup shaped lace material 24 may comprise a lace pull with lace fabric underneath the breast for shaping, support, and coverage; a lace pull with fabric underneath and cotton lining to cover the nipple area to provide comfort while wearing the apparatus; a lace pull with lace fabric underneath and a silicone cup for shaping, lifting and supporting the breast; or a lace pull with lace fabric underneath, a silicone cup, and cotton lining material to cover the nipple area of the breast.

[0034] According to an alternate embodiment of the invention, the lace and adhesive material may be constructed into a cosmetic style tape roll comprising perforated sections of a pre-determined length to be removed from the roll or into a continuous roll allowing for sections of the roll to be unraveled and cut into a desired length to be used for supporting, lifting, enhancing, manipulating and contouring body parts.

[0035] According to an alternate embodiment of the present invention, the lace and adhesive material for lifting areas of the face may comprise a string to be placed around the head of the user to aid in providing lift to the facial area where the lace and adhesive material is placed.

[0036] According to an embodiment of the present invention, when applying the apparatus to a user's breast area, the apparatus is partially applied with the adhesive side of the material in contact with the skin of the upper area of the breast Part of the lace fabric is moved in an upward and/or in a rearward motion to lift the breast to a desired amount by the user. Once the breast has been lifted to the desired amount, the remaining lace fabric is adhered to the skin of the upper area of the breast and/or chest to ensure the breast remains in the desired lifted position A user may add an additional piece of lace fabric with adhesive backing to the under area of the breast for additional support, if desired. According to an alternate embodiment of the invention, when applying the apparatus to the user's neck, two equal sized portions of the lace fabric with adhesive are applied to either side of the neck. The apparatus is partially placed with the adhesive side in contact with the skin of the neck below and/or behind the ear. A portion of the lace fabric is moved in an upwards and/or rearwards motion to lift the skin around the throat and underneath the chin to a desired amount by the user. The remaining lace fabric is adhered to the skin on the side of the neck to ensure the neck remains in the desired lifted position. The second piece of the apparatus is placed in a similar fashion to the other side of the neck to ensure the neck is lifted equally on both sides.

Part of the lace fabric is moved in an upwards and/or rearwards motion to lift the skin of the throat and the skin under the chin to a desired amount by the user. The remaining lace fabric is adhered to the skin on the side and/or rear of the neck to ensure the chin remains in the desired lifted position. The second piece of the apparatus is placed in a similar fashion on the remaining side of the neck to ensure the chin is lifted equally on both sides.

[0038] According to an alternate embodiment of the present invention, when applying the apparatus to a user's chin, two equal sized portions of the lace fabric with adhesive backing are used. The apparatus is partially applied with the adhesive in contact with the skin of the side or back of the neck, located below the user's hairline. Part of the lace fabric is moved in an upwards and/or rearwards motion to lift the skin of around the throat and underneath the chin to a desired degree of the user. The remaining lace fabric is adhered to the side of the neck to ensure the skin remains lifted. The second piece of the apparatus is placed in a similar fashion on the remaining side of the neck.

[0039] According to an embodiment of the present invention, when applying the apparatus to the user's eyebrow, two equally sized pieces of lace fabric with adhesive backing are applied above each eyebrow The apparatus is partially applied with the adhesive backing in contact with the skin of the forehead. Part of the lace fabric is moved in an upward motion to lift the skin above and around the eyebrow to lift the eyebrow and eyelid to a desired amount by the user The remaining lace fabric is adhered to the skin of the forehead, adjacent to the hairline. The second piece of the adhesive is applied to the remaining eyebrow. Additional pieces of the apparatus may be added to either eyebrow, if desired. In an alternate embodiment, a piece of string may be attached to the lace fabric. The string is secured around the back of the user's head to aid in maintaining the skin lift and increase the amount of lift to the eyebrow and eye area.
