With Botox for crow's feet are there more or less chance of getting eyelid/eyebrow ptosis (drooping)? My question is, is there more chance of getting ptosis from crow's feet treatment compared to frown lines or forehead treatment?

Answer: Eyelid ptosis may occur after a Botox treatment to your frown lines, but not your crow's feet.
I have seen a few cases of temporary ptosis (eyelid droop) after a Botox treatment to the frown lines. Other than bruising or failure to get a desired result, I have not seen any other problems associated with a Botox treatment to the crow's feet.
I hope this is helpful for you.

Answer: Yes, less likely
The muscle that form the crow's feet lines also pulls the eyebrows down. Treating this area tends to improve eyebrow ptosis. However, if standard treatments are placed too close to the corner of the eye, it is possible for BOTOX to drift into the eyelid and cause an actual eyelid ptosis. The incidence of this type of problem is low and you injector is likely to treat about 1 cm outside the orbital rim to reduce the risk of this type of problem.
