Can Botox Help with Bunny Lines?
I have these "bunny wrinkles" on my nose. Is there a way they can be made less visible with Botox?
+1
Botox is a good option
Botox is a good option for bunny lines in the nose. The irony is that in many cases, we see bunny lines that have been made worse by Botox injections in the area between the eyes. A few units on each side (with an experienced injector) of the nose should eliminate the bunny lines.

Botox is the best treatment for "bunny" lines
Bunny lines are caused by contraction of the underlying muscle called the alaeque nasi. This muscle is more active in certain individuals. 2 units of Botox per side is usually adequate to achieve a nice result.
Consult your dermatologist or plastic surgeon who is experienced in Botox injections for "bunny" lines.

Botox works for Bunny lines, but may not if other facial muscles are causing them
Using a small amount of botox in the area of the bunny lines can help relax that muscle and reduce the bunny line wrinkles formed from "scrunching the nose" like in response to when a person smells something bad.
If the botox injections directly in the area of the bunny lines doesn't smooth out enough, then it is possible that the person is scrunching their nose with other muscles on the side of their nose. These muscles can also be injected, but have a higher risk of...

What's up Doc! Botox for Bunny Lines?
If Bugs Bunny were to come out of retirement, the studio would likely insist on Botox for his bunny lines!
For the average person, it really works well to minimize the horizontal line across the nose. I use it in conjunction with treatment of the glabellar area and it is very effective.
The only caution is to use an injector who is very familiar with the muscular anatomy of the face as this is an off label usage and requires a higher level of knowledge and experience to pull off...

Botox is very effective for treating "bunny lines".
Botox is a very effective treatment for "bunny lines", those wrinkles that can occur on either side of the nose.
Depending on the severity of the "bunny lines", an injection or two on each side of the nose is all you'll need for great results.
Results usually last 3-4 months.
Hope this answer helps!

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.

Absolutely
Botox can absolutely improve lines in this area, but I have found that they can be a bit stubborn and may require more than one treatment in some cases. Don't be surprised if you need a repeat injection, but it should work quite nicely.

Yes, but it is off-label
Botox can safely relax the muscle on the side of the nose responsible for "bunny lines". Off-label means it is not what the product was initially approved for but physicians have safely demonstrated its' use in different areas. This can be done alone or in combination with other treatments.
It is important to seek out a well trained plastic surgeon, dermatologist, facial plastic, or oculoplastic surgeon for your treatment plan. There are large blood vessels in this area and...

Yes, Botox can relax those crinkles.
Absolutely! Botox is a great way to soften bunny lines. It works by relaxing the muscles that cause this crinkling along the nose. Just a few units on each side will provide relaxation for anywhere from 3-5 months. Down time is minimal and this can be done in a quick visit in the office. Consulting with a dermatologist, facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon is the first way to start the process of correcting your bunny lines.

No bunnies for you!
“Bunny lines are cute on bunnies not on us.” As you can see Botox is one of the better approaches for treating bunny lines. You will see optimal improvements about two weeks after injections. You may need to have the procedure done more than once, so be prepared. Be sure to use a board certified dermatologist or facial plastic surgeon with much experience.

Bunny lines treatment using Botox or Dysport
Bunny lines are extra creases along inner nasal sidewall extending from the root of the nose, often get accentuated with expression in some individuals. Botox or Dysport is quite efficacious is minimizing these lines; however, if excessive amount is injected, it may change the contour of inner corners of both eyes and can lead to a subtle droop of the inner eyelids. Always seek to have your Botox or Dysport injection performed by experienced board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon....

Botox is Great for Bunny Lines
Thank you for your question.
Quick Answer: Botox works great for treating bunny lines.
In our San Francisco Bay Area practice we frequently have requests for treatment of wrinkles on the top of the nose (bunny lines) and we have found Botox to be the best non-surgical option. Botox targets wrinkles caused by movement of the underlying muscles and since bunny lines are formed as a result of the movement of the procerus muscle Botox is highly effective at treating them.

Botox = bye bye "bunny" lines!
Botox is very effective for eliminating "bunny" lines at the root of the nose. In fact, I routinely treat the bunny lines whenever I am correcting the frown lines between the brows. It doesn't require much Botox, and many times, if the frown lines are eliminated, people often "suddenly" start noticing their bunny lines that are left behind.
Hope this helps!

Botox Works Great on Bunny Lines!
Hi,
The funny wrinkles that we get from wrinkling our noses as if we smelled something bad respond great to Botox! You don't need very much, anywhere from 2-4 units to achieve a result. The important thing to remember is not to rub the area for several hours after placement to avoid migration to nearby muscles.

Botox is great for bunny lines on the nose!
Some people get quite noticeable permanent wrinkles that run diagonally along the sides of the nose bridge from certain facial expressions. If the lines bother you and you don't just think they are cute, Botox is a great way to prevent the muscles in the area pulling the skin together, and only a small amount is needed to achieve the benefit. Don't forget to ask about it when you're treating your forehead!

Botox is effective for "bunny lines"
Yes, Botox is effective at treating bunny lines. A single injection of 2 to 6 units on each side should prevent the muscles that wrinkles that area. I usually start people off with 3 or 4 units on each side and adjust this on subsequent treatments as necessary. Not everyone likes the effect however, on some people it looks unnaturally flat during smiling in that area. Since it lasts about 3 months, you won't be stuck with it if it isn't for you. I...

Bye bye bunny lines
Botox is terrific for the so called "bunny lines" on the nose. I do this treatment very often especially if the action of these muscles contributes to lines under the eyes.
