Can Botox To Crows Feet Cause Bunny Lines?
I had 25 units total which was divied to my crows feet, above each eyebrow to lift and one shot below each eye. 17 days later bunny lines appeared. Please tell me I am not crazy and this can be caused by botox. Also PLEASE let me know if this will resolve itself as the botox wears off. Thank you.

Botox to the crow's feet should have no effect on bunny lines which occur on the side of one's nose.

Bunny Lines after Botox
All good feedback from panel members.
As suggested and explained, it is not too unusual to have untreated (unopposed) facial muscles over-compensate for muscles that have been relaxed.
Being that two weeks have passed without improvement, it's recommended to return to your practitioner for an evaluation of the concern and to offer a remedy.
Treating the superficial muscles to the side of the nose for bunny lines with Botox or Dysport is a good option that...

Bunny lines and botox
The orbicularis oris muscle is circular and surrounds the eye. It makes the eyelid squint and treatment of the outer component during crow's feet treatment is normally successful to make the appearance smoother, but if your muscle compensates for the lack of motion of the outer eyelid, it may try to contract the inner lower aspect that can create bunny lines of the nose. This is rarely seen but can be addressed with focal small dose of Botox. The risk is if a provider chases newer bunny...

Botox and bunny lines
"Bunny lines" are the ones on the side of the nose and are often treated with Botox or Dysport. What sometimes happens when more than one area is treated with Botox is that the balance of muscles of expression is altered in a way that others become more active. That is likely why bunny lines appeared after injections to nearby muscles. It will wear off as the Botox does, or you can have the bunny lines injected.

I have never heard of this happening. One possible explanation might be overactivity of those muscles as the others have relaxed. My guess is that it will improve as the Botox wears off. You should contact the doctor who injected you.
