Crow's feet are caused by eye AND mouth muscles

Otto Joseph Placik, MD answers: Should there be wrinkles after Botox?

I had Botox injected into my crow's feet 5 days ago. It's certainly done the job on the deep lines I had around the corners of my eyes. However, I'm sure my eyes now look extra wrinkly underneath, which isn't what I intended.

Does this happen a lot and is there a remedy for it?

When Botox is injected into the crow's feet, it is injected into the squinting muscles.

However, Crow's feet can sometimes be caused by smiling muscles. It sounds as if this is your problem. The issue is we can't weaken your smiling muscles because if we do, you may look like you've had a stroke.
