Rabbit lines are wrinkles that form on the ridge of the nose, often due to years of facial expressions. They can also be caused by overuse of cosmetic procedures, such as Botox injections. The obsession with smooth faces has led some people to opt for procedures to eliminate wrinkles, but this can lead to unintended consequences, such as the concentration of wrinkles in areas that can still move freely, resulting in bunny lines. Cosmetic surgeons can often spot cosmetic procedures in celebrities by looking for a pronounced bunny line.
A rabbit line is a horizontal wrinkle that forms on the ridge of the nose. Commonly, people have more than one bunny line, with the lines becoming apparent when the nose moves across the face, as is often the case when people smile. The “rabbit” in “rabbit line” is a reference to the famous wrinkled, jittery noses of rabbits.
As people age, bunny wrinkles tend to form naturally, as a result of years of smiling, frowning, and forming other facial expressions. However, bunny wrinkles can also be the result of overuse of cosmetic procedures, especially Botox injections. When the face is essentially immobilized with Botox, sometimes the nose is the only feature that moves freely, and deep bunny lines can form as a result.
The widespread use of cosmetic surgery and other cosmetic procedures on prominent celebrities has changed the way many people think about aging. Rabbit lines, crow’s feet and other facial wrinkles are simply the results of aging and are completely natural. However, a flood of images of smooth, taut faces in the media has led some people to view the development of wrinkles and other signs of aging with disgust, leading them to opt for procedures to eliminate them.
Rabbit lines are an interesting example of the unintended consequences of cosmetic procedures. While most people develop wrinkles as they age, these lines are typically understated in most faces, as facial tissues are able to move freely, without concentrating wrinkles on the bridge of the nose. However, when someone undergoes numerous cosmetic procedures to smooth their face and eliminate wrinkles, the wrinkles can concentrate in areas of the face that can still move around without problems, and the result is often a bunny line.
Cosmetic surgeons can often spot cosmetic procedures in celebrities by looking for a pronounced bunny line, and so can you, if you’re so inclined. General stillness of the face is often a much stronger clue, but even if the surgery is done well enough to fool a casual observer, a rabbit line will often develop over time. In response to rabbit lines forming, some people opt for additional procedures, creating something of a vicious cycle of constantly requiring more procedures.
