I've been thinking of having Botox for my crow's feet, but my doctor told me not to do it. He would not give me the injections. He said it was not approved by the FDA for use on crow's feet because it's such a sensitive area of the face. What's more troubling is that it weakens the muscles over time and in the long run, it could result in a droopy lower eye lid! Any comments on this?
Botox is actually the best treatment option for crows feet when done properly. It also can be used in the same treatment session to elevate the lateral eyebrow as was described in my publication entitled "Temporal browlift using Botulinum toxin A" Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2000. It is an off label use but is very safe with a long track record.
