A: Botox is great for Bunny Lines

Botox is a great treatment for bunny lines. Usually with a small injection on either side of your nose, the bunny lines can be significantly reduced - however, they are seldom eliminated. As with other areas of Botox treatment, it is usually advantageous to have some residual activity to maintain normal-appearing animation. Give it a try, I think you will be happy with the results.

A: Yes, but it can also be the cause of bunny lines

"Bunny lines" are easily corrected with about 5 units of Botox.

The interesting thing is that I usually see bunny lines in patients who have had a little too much Botox between their eyebrows (to correct the vertical frown lines in this area). When the muscles between the eyebrows are relaxed to much, the muscle activity of expression moves down the nose and you get bunny lines.

But regardless of the cause, a small amount of Botox injected into both sides of the upper nose is the way to treat bunny lines.

A: Botox can tackle Bunny Wrinkles

Hello,

Botox can certainly help lessen "bunny wrinkles" of the nose.

I am glad you used the term "lessen" as well - depending on the exact location and severity of your "bunny wrinkles" it may be unwise to eliminate them entirely with Botox as adverse results to other nasal, eye or forehead muscles could occur.

Fillers can also be used for these types of wrinkles in conjunction with the Botox to achieve a nice, balanced result.

Seek a consultation with an experienced and Board certified Physician and those wrinkles on your nose should "hop right away".

Botox is a wonderful treatment for "bunny lines."  As others have said, you may need more than one treatment to get full correction.
