Crow's Feet Not Completely Gone Post-Botox

Everyone has to have realistic expectations from Botox.  Botox truly is a wonderful treatment and is very effective with very few side effects.  However, there is a balance between smoothing wrinkles and maintaining function in your expressions.  Sure, so much Botox could be injected that you do not move your face at all - but you would look like you had a stroke.  I am sure that is not what you are looking for.  Also, Botox works by temporarily paralyzing the underlying muscle to relieve stress on the overlying skin.  This relaxes the wrinkles from dynamic action from the muscles.  If you have static wrinkles - wrinkles that are there at rest - Botox may not be completely effective the first time you have it.  It is important that you discuss your expectations with your surgeon before having treatment to make sure they are realistic.  Good luck.

It might simply be that not enough Botox was placed to effectively control the muscle movement in the crow's feet area. You also may need to have Botox placed below the corner of the eye into the high cheek zone to stop this portion of the muscle from moving. If a sufficient amount of Botox was already placed and the distribution area was correct, you might need to consider a skin resurfacing procedure to provide further improvements.

It's hard to say what's happening for sure without seeing the wrinkles you are speaking about. It's possible that a bit more Botox might be required. It's also possible that the lines you are speaking about need to be addressed with fillers rather than Botox. It depends on how close to the eye the lines are, whether they get worse when you smile and whether they are located at the outside of the eye or under the eye.
We'd suggest getting back in touch with your injector and going back for a visit to address your concerns. Maybe it's a simple solution like a couple more units. Hopefully so! Good luck.
