Smile lines around the eyes, also known as "crow's feet", are among the best areas treated by Botox. Approximately 10 to 12 units of Botox per side are required for good correction of the smile lines.

A: Botox for Smile Lines

The answer to your question depends on how you define smile lines. Two practitioners that answered this question focused on different areas, one the mouth and the other the crow's feet (sides of eyes). The crow's feet (the wrinkles on the sides of the eyes that are accentuated when we smile) are excellent candidates for Botox and in most cases, we can achieve complete resolution of these lines using Botox.
But if the smile lines you are referring to are the creases that exist between the sides of the nose and the corners of the mouth, then Botox is not an option and dermal fillers like Restylane would be a great choice.
