Number of Botox units for crow's feet

Joel B. Singer, MD answers: How many units to Botox crow's feet?

I have had Botox for a few years and love it. I have changed my location. I have a new person doing Botox, my problem is I have always maintained 22-24 units that has been perfect and on one occasion 28 units. Which was great as well. My problem is this, my new person that is doing Botox has guessed 39 units I was shocked, I told her no.

I generally use less than 7.5 units per side for crow's feet ( a total of 15 units)and have the patient come back in two weeks for a followup visit just in case they need more. I would much rather under correct in this area than over correct because this is one area where you could get complications such as lower eyelid weakness or ectropion.
