Botox on side of nose next to eye - is this area a danger zone?

Hello @ninaK thank you for your question. A lot of times here around the nose when we contract the muscles we make rabbit-like lines, they are produced by muscle contraction and that what's Butolinum toxin is for. However, is important that you have the procedure with a board certified specialist, correct application is key. Best wishes

It is best for you to be evaluated by an expert injector. She/He will determine if Botox can help with the concerns you have and will advise on where the injections will be placed in order to best address the bunny lines.

Neuromodulators (such as Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, and Jeuveau), lasers, microneedling/PRP, and fillers work very well in combination to improve nose creases / bunny lines and can give long-term results. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer​

Thank you for sharing your question. Always seek out a specialist for the best advice after an in-person examination but these injections should be safe to perform.

Hello, I am glad you are cautious about your cosmetic procedures.
I am very familiar with those lines you are describing. I treat patients all the time with Botox to that area. That particular area is not as risky as is treating the forehead or frown lines (possibility of ptosis is much higher in the other areas). I have injected botox for almost 8 years and have never encounter a case of ptosis from nasalis or "bunny lines". Each case is different, and we have to proceed with caution but, the chances are very low in that area. Each area has its potential side effects. Make sure you address your concerns with your provider before your treatment, but I hope this gives you an idea.
Good Luck!km
