Upper Nose Botox (Bunny Lines)

Upper Nose Botox (Bunny Lines)

What Are Upper Nose Lines?

Upper nose lines are fine wrinkles on both sides of the bridge of the nose that can extend towards the sides of the nostrils. They become visible during facial expressions, especially when a person scrunches their nose as if smelling something unpleasant. In medical aesthetics and in everyday language, this appearance is called “bunny lines”.

At first they appear only during expressions, but over time, with repeated muscle movement and loss of skin elasticity, they may become noticeable even at rest. For this reason, upper nose lines are generally classed as dynamic wrinkles.

The most important factor in their formation is excessive and repetitive activity of the facial muscles around the nose. In particular, the muscles that pull the bridge of the nose upwards become active when smiling, speaking or making expressions. Over time, this muscle activity can cause lines on the skin surface.

In some people, bunny lines may become more noticeable after treatments to the forehead and frown area. This is because the muscle balance of the upper face changes and the muscles around the nose work relatively harder, making the lines easier to notice.

Genetic predisposition, skin structure and expression habits also affect how pronounced bunny lines are. In people with thin skin that loses elasticity earlier, these lines may appear at a younger age.

Upper nose lines can unintentionally give the face a harsh, tense or tired look. As a result, some people feel their expression is perceived more negatively than it is, even when they are rested.

Why Do Bunny Lines Form?

The main cause of wrinkles on the upper nose is excessive and repetitive activity of the muscles around the nose.
They are seen more often with:

• Strong facial expressions
• A habit of pulling the nose upwards when smiling
• Previous treatment of the forehead or frown area
• Genetic predisposition
• Loss of skin elasticity with age

These lines are usually dynamic wrinkles, meaning they become more visible during expressions.

What Is Upper Nose Botox?

Upper nose Botox is a targeted treatment aimed at reducing the appearance of these expression lines known as bunny lines.
The aim is to reduce, in a controlled way, the muscle movement that causes lines on the bridge of the nose.

The treatment is planned to preserve the face’s natural balance of expression and is assessed individually.

How Is Upper Nose Botox Performed?

• Facial expressions are assessed in detail before treatment
• The muscle group that makes the lines visible is identified
• Small doses are injected in line with facial anatomy
• The procedure is completed in a short time

You can return to daily life immediately after the treatment.

Who Is It Suitable For?

Upper nose Botox may be considered for people who:

• Develop lines on the bridge of the nose during expressions
• Have a habit of scrunching their nose “as if smelling something”
• Are bothered by bunny lines that make their expression look harsh

Suitability for each individual is determined by a medical assessment before treatment.

Natural Appearance and Patient Safety

The main goal of upper nose Botox is not to freeze the face but to soften the lines while preserving the natural balance of expression.
Treatments are planned on the basis of facial anatomy and patient safety.

Choosing the right technique and dose is essential for preserving the face’s natural expression.

Which Areas Can Be Treated Together with Upper Nose Botox?

In some people, upper nose lines become more noticeable together with the forehead and frown area.
That is why the face is considered as a whole when planning the treatment.
