Bunny Line Botox: The Small Touch That Makes a Big Difference

If you've been getting Botox for a while, you may have noticed that while your forehead and frown lines look smoother, you still develop tiny wrinkles on the sides of your nose when you smile or laugh. These are called bunny lines, and they're one of the most common "add-on" Botox treatments we perform at Boston Medical Aesthetics.

Many patients don't even realize they have bunny lines until after they've had Botox in other areas. Once the forehead and frown lines are softened, these small wrinkles can become more noticeable, making bunny line Botox a natural next step in facial balancing.

What Are Bunny Lines?

Bunny lines are the small diagonal wrinkles that appear on either side of the nose, typically when you smile, laugh, squint, or scrunch your nose.

These lines form from repeated movement of the nasalis muscle, a small muscle that runs along the bridge and sides of the nose.

For some people, bunny lines are subtle. For others, they become more prominent over time due to genetics, facial expressions, and the natural aging process.

Why Do People Get Bunny Line Botox?

For many patients, bunny line Botox is all about creating a more polished, harmonious appearance.

Benefits include:

• Softening wrinkles along the sides of the nose
• Creating smoother facial expressions
• Helping Botox results look more balanced
• Preventing bunny lines from becoming deeper over time
• Enhancing overall facial harmony

It's often one of those treatments patients didn't know they needed—until they see the difference.

Is Bunny Line Botox Only for Older Patients?

Not at all.

While bunny lines can become more pronounced with age, many younger patients naturally have strong nasalis muscles and develop bunny lines whenever they smile or laugh.

Others choose to treat them preventatively before the lines become etched into the skin.

Does Bunny Line Botox Make You Look Less Expressive?

Not when it's done correctly.

The goal isn't to freeze your smile or prevent natural facial movement. Instead, your provider carefully relaxes the muscle just enough to soften the wrinkles while preserving your natural expressions.

When performed by an experienced injector, bunny line Botox should leave you looking refreshed—not overdone.

Why Is Bunny Line Botox Often Added to a Botox Appointment?

Because the treatment area is so small, bunny line Botox is commonly added during a routine Botox appointment.

Many patients begin with treatment for areas like:

• Forehead lines
• Frown lines (the "11s")
• Crow's feet

After seeing their results, they decide to address the bunny lines as well for a more complete rejuvenation.

It's a subtle enhancement that can make a noticeable difference in your overall appearance.

Is Bunny Line Botox Right for You?

You may be a good candidate if you:

• Notice wrinkles on the sides of your nose when you smile or laugh
• Want your Botox results to look more balanced
• Prefer subtle, natural-looking enhancements
• Are looking to prevent bunny lines from becoming deeper over time

During your consultation, your injector will evaluate your facial anatomy and determine whether bunny line Botox would complement your treatment plan.

What to Expect During Treatment

Bunny line Botox is one of the quickest Botox treatments available.

The procedure usually takes just a few minutes and involves a small number of precise injections into the nasalis muscle. Most patients describe the treatment as very comfortable, and there's little to no downtime afterward.

Full results develop in about 2 weeks. Like other Botox treatments, results generally last around 3 months.
