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.

How Obliv plans bunny line Botox

Your doctor asks you to scrunch your nose and marks the highest point of the lines. Points stay high on the nasal sidewall and away from the muscles that lift the upper lip, so your smile is not affected.

Typical dose Often 2–4 units per side (onabotulinumtoxinA equivalent)
Technique 1–2 superficial points per side
Pairs well with Frown line Botox, crow’s feet Botox

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.
