I am planning on revision rhiniplasty as soon as possible. I'm in the process of trying to choose my surgeon and then set the date. Of course I would love to hop on a plane and have it next week! But I know it doean't work like that and there is going to be a time lag of a month or two before before the surgery. I get botox for my crows feet and bunny lines (major bunny lines). Do I have to stop my botox treatment before surgery?

Answer: BOTOX is okay Your BOTOX treatments should not affect your decision to have a rhinoplasty. You notice that your bunny lines after surgery may be less active for a while after surgery due to swelling of that muscle.

Answer: Botox can be used on bunny lines before rhinoplasty There should be no interaction between the Botox used for bunny lines and having a nose job. If the treatment for the bunny lines, however, is injected too low down on the side of the nose, then the muscle that helps keep the lip elevated could be affected and the upper lip may lower asymmetrically. This lowering of the lip could accentuate the temporary distortion that is created by surgical swelling after the rhinoplasty. To be clear, this lowering of the upper lip is a risk of Botox injections for bunny lines and has nothing to do with the rhinoplasty.
