Bunny Lines Botox in Seoul |
Apgujeong EU:GENES Skin Clinic
Bunny lines are the small diagonal creases that appear on the sides of your nose when you smile, laugh or scrunch your face. At Apgujeong EU:GENES Skin Clinic, a few precise botulinum toxin injections can soften them.
What is bunny lines Botox?
When you wrinkle your nose, a thin muscle called the nasalis contracts across the upper part of your nose. This creates slanted lines on each side, similar to the way a rabbit scrunches its nose.
Bunny lines Botox relaxes the upper part of the nasalis with a very small dose of botulinum toxin. The injections are tiny and quick, but placement must be exact because other nearby muscles control the upper lip.
Who is it for?
This treatment is for people who notice these creases when they smile or talk. Bunny lines sometimes become more visible after frown lines or crow's feet have been treated, because the face finds another way to express itself. Adding the nose often gives a more complete, balanced result.
It is not suitable if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a neuromuscular disorder, have an infection on or near the nose, or are allergic to botulinum toxin. Lines caused mainly by sun damage or thin skin, rather than movement, may respond better to skin-quality treatments.

Your treatment at EU:GENES
During your 1:1 consultation, Dr. Jung Yoo-jin asks you to scrunch your nose, smile and laugh so she can see exactly where your lines form and how strong the movement is. She also looks at your upper face as a whole, since bunny lines are often linked to how your frown and eye muscles work.
Dr. Jung places one small injection on each side of the upper nose. The injections are kept high and shallow on purpose, to avoid the muscles that lift the upper lip. The treatment takes just a few minutes, and you can combine it with other areas in the same visit.
Results & how long they last
Lines usually begin to soften within a few days, with the full result at around two weeks. The effect typically lasts three to four months. Since the dose is small, some people find this area wears off a little sooner than larger muscles.
Downtime, aftercare & possible side effects
Downtime is minimal. Slight redness or a small bump at each point usually fades within an hour.
After treatment, stay upright for four hours, do not rub your nose, and avoid strenuous exercise, saunas and alcohol for the rest of the day. Possible side effects include bruising, tenderness and mild headache. The most important risk is a temporary change in the upper lip, such as a slight droop or an uneven smile, if the product affects the nearby lip-lifting muscle. This is uncommon with careful technique and wears off with time.
FAQ
Why did bunny lines appear after my other Botox?
When the frown and eye muscles are relaxed, some people use their nose muscles more when they express themselves. Treating the nose at the same time helps keep the result balanced.
Does it change the shape of my nose?
No. It only softens lines on the skin. Changes to nose shape are a separate treatment, such as nose filler, which carries its own risks and needs a separate assessment.
Is it painful?
The nose can be a little more sensitive, but it is just two quick, tiny injections. Most patients find it very manageable.
