Last night I was at a concert for one of my favorite singers (who will remain nameless) and noticed he had a smooth forehead, but some weird prominent horizontal line right across the bridge of his nose. The line would show up when he was making facial expressions. Could this be a bunny line? Bunny lines are tell-tall signs of extensive Botox use. They are usually little horizontal lines that show up on your nose when you try to make facial expressions. If you have used Botox for a long time, or have a lot of it injected in your forehead/between your brows, these lines might show up. I am sure people can get these without using Botox, but if you see someone with a smooth wrinkle-free forehead, but wrinkles on their nose, that probably means they have Botox. Of course, you can also get the bunny lines treated with Botox too to make them go away! Then I’m not sure what happens!
I like to guess if celebs have Botox
As you know, I am a fan of Botox, and I like to guess if celebrities have it. It’s sort of a game for me. If Botox is not overdone, you really cannot tell that a person has it. It looks very natural. For celebrities like Marcia Cross and Nicole Kidman, it’s just a given that they use it extensively. Or is it? I was shocked to read the Nicole Kidman cover story in the December 2007 issue of Marie Claire. Nicole swears she’s never used Botox, and that she’s completely natural. She attributes her perfect wrinkle-free skin to sunscreen use and not smoking.
If you were a celebrity, would you lie about cosmetic procedures?
Use of Botox or Restylane is nobody’s business but your own. However, I personally have no problems telling people I’ve used Botox, and if I get more treatments in the future, I will surely tell anyone that asks about them. If I were a celebrity, I’d be like Kathy Griffin who fesses up to everything she’s done (lipo, eyelift, nose job, Botox). I don’t like lying, especially when something’s obvious (like Ashlee’s Simpson’s nose job), so I would tell the truth. The other reason I wish celebrities would tell the truth about what they’ve had done is because I want to know their secrets! I want to know how Christie Brinkley still looks 30. I know some people do have really, really good genes…
I’m not saying Nicole Kidman is lying, because I have no idea, but I do hate it when celebrities lie about their procedures, because it confuses me! I’d rather have celebrities just answer “no comment” than lie and say they are all natural if they aren’t. I guess I just feel bad about myself when a perfect celebrity claims that they are all natural. I admire celebrities like Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz because they claim that they are anti-Botox, and they look all natural because they have natural wrinkles and expression lines! I wish I didn’t want to get rid of my wrinkles, and could just be happy about them!
Sometimes there’s no hiding the fact that you use Botox
Mark McGrath, the singer from Sugar Ray, has had deep horizontal lines across his forehead ever since his band got popular ten years ago. When he first got the job as a host on Extra, I was excited because I figured he’d get Botox, and I could see how well it worked. He was the perfect “before” and “after” candidate to show how well Botox works. Well I’ve been waiting a few years now, and was shocked that Mark hadn’t gotten Botox yet. At three in the morning yesterday, I turned on Extra, and there was Mark - with a perfectly smooth forehead, and not a wrinkle in sight! Unless I was half-asleep and was dreaming, Mark’s finally gotten Botox. And it works really well indeed!

Yes, Botox can and does work very well. But there is always the chance something can go wrong… and if it does unfortunately it takes months for it to go away.

Actually bunny-lines are easily *taken away* with Botox, not caused by them. If your injector is paying any attention at all to your anatomy, he/she will make sure the bunny-lines go away along with the “number 11″. Sure, there’s lots of injectors who do a crappy job, but don’t blame the product for lousy application.
I know one Vegas doc who can not only get rid of the 11 and the bunny lines, he gives me very nice “anime eyebrows” that arch perfectly too…..

When I worked at a Medical Spa, our Botox rep, and our head Medical Director both told us that Botox can eventually cause bunny lines, because if you get Botox and can’t make certain facial expressions, eventually you can possibly start developing new wrinkles in new areas (like bunny lines). I have seen a few clients get bunny lines from Botox use, but of course you can just treat it as well and make it go away too.
I live in Vegas too, and am always looking for a recommendation of good doctors that do Botox!

I’ve heard of bunny lines but didn’t think it was irreversible. All the more reason to choose your doctor carefully.

I am 28, have a perfectly smooth forehead, and have had “bunny lines” for the last 3 years (that I’ve noticed anyway…) but I haven’t ever used botox. I think that some people just have different expression lines. I have a colleague, 29, complete type-A personality & she scowls constantly. She already has the perma-scowl, but I’m not close enough with her to suggest botox. So many of my friends who use botox LOVE it. I’ve thought about it to prevent further/ future bunny lines.
