Would Botox improve my crow's feet? I've heard droopy eyes can be a side effect. (Photo)

Thank you for your question. Botox is an excellent option to treat crow's feet. You can even use it in combination with some fillers to smooth out fine lines. Drooping is a possible side effect with Botox, so be sure to use a skilled injector. 

Botox is absolutely the best treatment to resolve crow’s feet. It works by relaxing the muscles that cause them, allowing the skin to smooth out. After two weeks or so, your wrinkles are gone. You’ll need a touch-up in three to four months.
As for Botox making your eyes droop, Botox is injected near the side of your eye and won’t affect the upper lid. If you have droopy lids you can have them improved non-invasively with either Thermage or Ulthera or with a Botox brow lift. Surgical correction is best for severe skin laxity. Please consult a board-certified dermatologist who is an expert at facial rejuvenation using injectables so you get the beautiful improvement you’re seeking. 

Botox is a great choice to improve crow's feet. Drooping is a rare side effect, but I recommend seeing an expert in Botox injection to get the best outcomes. Hope this helps.

Yes, well-placed Botox can improve crow's feet without causing the eyes to droop. It takes 1-2 weeks for final results with Botox. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

Botox would probably give you a nice result in the crow's feet area.  The big risk here is that there are several blood vessels that live in the area, some of them you can see and some you can't.  If the doctor happens to nick one, you might get a bruise.  Drooping of the brows is not usually a problem when Botox is injected into the area you are concerned with.  It is a bigger problem when treating forehead lines when the Botox is injected into the muscles that lift they eyebrows.  At any rate, you should give it a try.  Worst case scenario is that, if you don't like it, it will be gone in three or four months.

Botox is ideal to diminish crows feet.  I would suggest you give it a try with an experienced injector.  Good luck!

Botox and Dysport will diminish crow's feet significantly and will not cause droopy eyelids or brow if done correctly. If this does occur, it is because the injector is not familiar with the anatomy around the eyes. Injecting close to and above the brow can drop the brows and thus the eyelids. Injecting the crow's feet should actually elevate the outer part of the brow.
Typically, I will suggest to the patient to inject the crow's feet, or frown lines if needed, every 3 months for a year, and then the muscles will atrophy and Botox or Dysport can be injected every 5-6 months.
Thank you for your question and good luck.

Hello and thank you for your question. Botox for Crows feet is an easy injection.  Generally the dose per side ranges from 6 to 12 units in females. The treatment lasts 3 to 3.5 months. Find a qualified injector and give it a try. Best of luck to you.

The Botox you’d get near the sides of your eyes to treat crow’s feet wouldn’t have an affect on your eyelids. Yes, I think Botox is the best first-line treatment for crow’s feet, hands down. As for your droopy eyelids, a board-certified dermatologist will be able to help you with those, too. Lasers, fillers, and a Botox brow lift are possible remedies.
