Question

How can these lines be fixed going horizontal?! Is this considered the glabella region even it it starts at the top bridge of the nose

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

These can be treated with a combination of lasers, botox, and fillers. I suggest seeing a cosmetic dermatologist with experience.  Best, Dr. Emer.

These lines are usually a result of muscle action in that area. They are commonly called "bunny lines". They can very easily be treated with a neuromodulator such as botox, dysport or xeomin.

Lenore Sikorski, MD · Answer

Great Questions, it sounds like the lines you are referring to is what we often call the "bunny lines" that develop from the scrunching of the nose. These do great with dysport or Botox injections. I would recommend you get a consult with a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist in your area.

Richard Ort, MD · Answer

It's not possible to say for sure without seeing a picture, but you might benefit from Botox injections to this area.  Typically there is a horizontal line at the top of the nose which is caused by contraction of the procerus muscle.  Botox works by relaxing this muscle which gives a softening of the horizontal line.  I would recommend that you make an appointment with a cosmetic dermatologist or plastic surgeon.

"Bunny lines" or smile lines across the upper nose often respond well to botox or xeomin injection.  If you are not satisfied by the degree of improvement then a browlift enables long term weakening of those muscles and lifting of the lax skin for appropriate people.Meet with a Bd Certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist to discuss your options.

These are most likely due to an active " Procerus" muscle. Botox can temporarily fix this. If you desire a longer term outcome, you may have accept surgical intervention. Few techniques are available to address this issue. I recommend a consultation with surgeon in your area where you can be evaluated in person.
