I have had Botox for a few years and love it. I have changed my location. I have a new person doing Botox, my problem is I have always maintained 22-24 units that has been perfect and on one occasion 28 units. Which was great as well. My problem is this, my new person that is doing Botox has guessed 39 units I was shocked, I told her no.
Answer: Botox for crow's feet
When treating patients with concerns about their crow's feet (wrinkles around the eyes), I usually start at 8-12 units per side. This depends on the depth of the wrinkles and the size of the orbicularis muscle (the muscle that is being treated with Botox for crow's feet). If this is not enough, then I see the patient back in two weeks for further injection. I think the extra visit is worth it for the few patients who need the extra Botox, because it saves all the rest of the patients from purchasing unnecessary Botox!

Answer: Typically 10-15 units per side are sufficient To minimize the risk of side effects and ensure optimal results with Botox, it's crucial to work with an experienced, board-certified professional who understands proper dosing and injection techniques. For crow's feet, typically 10-15 units per side are sufficient, making a total of 20-30 units usually adequate for both eyes. It's important to discuss your previous dosages and their effectiveness with your new provider and express any concerns about changes in the treatment plan. Seeking a second opinion or consulting another experienced practitioner can also be beneficial if you're unsure about the recommended treatment plan.

Answer: Botox for crows feet Thank you for your question. The muscle responsible for "crows feet" is donut shaped and encircles each eye. When you squint or smile it contracts and creates those lines. Injecting the lateral portion of that muscle with 8 -14 units of Botox per side is common dosing and will prevent that contraction. An experienced injector will assess your eye area, determine tone of the surrounding skin, and provide realistic expectations based on your presentation. Extra care should be placed on Botox injected in the under-eye area to avoid sagging skin. In some cases of severe lines, a second tier of Botox may be administered, further out from the first. Best of luck to you.

Answer: Amount of Botox Needed to Treat Crow's Feet The amount of botox needed to treat crow's feet is depended on a couple of things. How severe the lines are and how much movement you want or don't want. Typically, I will inject between 5 - 7.5 units of botox per side to help minimize and soften the lines. I hope this helps to answer your question.

Answer: Amount of Botox Needed for Crow's Feet I usually put 2 units in each line in the crow's feet region and continue down into the cheek if a patient desires. In total units, this may vary from 4 to 24 units for both sides. This treatment really softens creases that form around the eyes when smiling.

Answer: Botox for crow's feet While every patient is different, and the injector should tailor the treatment to each individual patient, most patients do well with 8-12 units of Botox to the lateral orbital (or crow's feet) area on side. I typically start with around 10 units for each side. As always, a consultation with a well-trained, board-certified physician is recommended to determine the treatment and recommendations for each individual patient. All the best,
