Bunny Lines (Nose Wrinkles)
Neurotoxin for bunny lines, injected personally by Dr. Amir Mortazavi, MD.
Bunny lines are the diagonal wrinkles that fan across the upper sides of the nose when you scrunch, squint, or smile hard. They come from the nasalis muscle, and a few units placed precisely soften them without affecting the rest of your expression.
Bunny lines often appear after forehead and frown line treatment — and that's a clue.
When the muscles between the brows are relaxed, some patients unconsciously recruit the nasalis instead. The result is bunny lines that either appear for the first time or become noticeably more prominent after treatment.
This isn't a complication. It's muscle compensation, it's common, and it's straightforward to address. If your bunny lines showed up after your last neurotoxin appointment, that's why.
It's also a reason to mention them at your main appointment rather than booking separately — treating them alongside your upper face areas in the same session is easier and often produces a more balanced result than treating them in isolation.
What to expect: a few units per side, taking seconds. Onset begins day 3 to 5, full effect at day 10 to 14. Duration is typically three to four months, similar to other facial areas.
Precision matters more here than the small treatment size suggests. The nasalis sits close to the muscles that elevate the upper lip. Product placed too low or spreading too far can affect your smile — producing a lip that doesn't elevate evenly. It's temporary, but it lasts as long as the treatment does.
This is a small, cheap treatment where placement is the entire thing. It's performed by Dr. Mortazavi personally, same as everything else here.
Worth knowing: some patients like their bunny lines. They read as animated and expressive, and softening every dynamic line on a face can flatten the way it moves. If yours only appear with a full genuine smile and don't bother you at rest, leaving them alone is a reasonable choice — and Dr. Mortazavi will say so rather than treating something you didn't need treated.
