Will Botox Between the Brows Cause Bunny Lines?

M
MakenzieRApr 3, 2012

I've read in celebrity gossip mags that really visible bunny lines can be a result of Botox between the eyebrows. Best example is Nicole Kidman. Is this really true? Do your nose muscles overcompensate when you "freeze" the muscles between your brows? I don't want the "11s," but I don't want to increase wrinkles elsewhere, either.

The results of Botox wear off in about 4 months or so, and by this time your ptosis should wear off as well. I'm sorry to hear about your experience but rest assured you'll look better in a month or so.
