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

Leah99
I've noticed that the mid upper part of the nose scrunches/sags down and creates horizontal lines after botox sometimes and I want to avoid that in the future. Any suggestions? I have strong frown lines in the mid-forehead area between the eyebrows, so I do need botox there, but I don't want the bunny nose effect!
