Bunny Nose After Botox. How Do I Avoid This Effect?

Hi,

While most bunnies have very cute little bunny noses, no one is fond of the wrinkles that appear with age on movement of the upper 1/3 of an aging human nose.  These lines have been affectionately termed "Bunny Lines".

Bunny lines are more obvious when the neighboring areas of the forehead and crow's feet area of the eyes have been treated with Botox or other neuromodulators.  Sometimes the surrounding facial muscles that have not been treated increase their activity, in this case creating noticeable bunny lines.

A small dose of neuromodulator (Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin) stratigically placed will smooth these unwanted wrinkles.

By the way, speaking of bunnies, have you ever noticed how similar jack rabbits are to kangaroos?  The big ears, the protruding eyes, the snout, and those big hoppity hop  lower legs?  I think there may be an evolutionary DNA connection there.  Good luck and be well.

Some people's muscles on the nose over compensate when the glabella, between the eyebrows, becomes relaxed with Botox.  The scrunching up of the upper side of the nose trying to do what the glabella had done prior to Botox, can create these diagonal lines.  A couple of units carefully placed can help diminish the bunny / tiger lines.  In some people, however, the lines then extend longer and it is in this case that is dangerous to chase the lines further on the lower side of the nose with Botox as it may affect the smile.

Its farily common for patients to develope Bunny lines on the nose after Botox tretments between the brows. Next time you have the brows treated ask your physician to treat the Bunny lines as well. It only takes a small dose and will correct the probelm for you.
