What is a Bunny Line?
A bunny line is a horizontal wrinkle which forms across the ridge of the nose. Commonly, people have more than one bunny line, with the lines becoming apparent when the nose moves on the face, as it often does when people smile. The “bunny” in “bunny line” is a reference to the famously wrinkled and twitchy noses of rabbits. As people age, bunny lines tend to form naturally, as a result of years of smiling, frowning, and forming other expressions with the face. However, bunny lines can also be the result of excessive use of cosmetic procedures, especially Botox injections. When the face is essentially immobilized with Botox, sometimes the nose is the only feature which moves freely, and as a result, deep bunny lines can form. The widespread use of cosmetic surgery and other cosmetic procedures on prominent celebrities has changed the way that many people think about aging. Bunny lines, crow’s feet, and other facial wrinkles are simply the results of aging, and they are entirely natural
