Botox · Nose scrunch lines
Bunny Line Botox in Myeongdong, Seoul
Bunny lines are the diagonal creases on the sides of the nose when you laugh or scrunch. They often appear after frown lines are treated, and a tiny dose softens them in minutes.
Quick answer
Bunny line Botox relaxes the nasalis muscle on the upper sides of the nose, which creases the skin when you laugh or scrunch your nose. One or two small points per side, often 2–4 units each, soften the lines. Treatment takes about 5 minutes, works in 3–5 days and usually lasts 3–4 months.
What are bunny lines?
The nasalis muscle wrinkles the skin over the upper nose. Some people use it more strongly, and in others it becomes more noticeable once the frown muscles are relaxed, because the face recruits nearby muscles instead. A very small dose is enough to soften the pattern.
Who is it for?
- Diagonal lines on the sides of the nose when laughing or scrunching.
- People already treating frown lines who notice bunny lines appearing.
- Not during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or with neuromuscular disorders.

Frequently asked questions
Why did bunny lines appear after my frown Botox?
When the frown muscles relax, some people recruit the nose muscle more when they make strong expressions. A small dose there restores balance.
How long does bunny line Botox last?
Usually 3–4 months, similar to frown line treatment.
Will it change my smile?
Not when the points are placed high on the nose, away from the lip-lifting muscles.
