Does a lower blepharoplasty get rid of crows feet? Please don't suggest botox.It does not work on me in this area. Can you please suggest which treatments work best?
Answer: Botox-resistant Crow's Feet Thanks for your question. It sounds like you have tried botox to the crow's feet area, but this has not given you the results for which you had hoped. It is important to recognize that neuromodulators (e.g. botox) are primarily effective in treating dynamic lines, or those that become visible when you animate your face (e.g. smile, laugh, etc.). If you have static lines, or those that are still visible when your face is relaxed or in a neutral expression, these typically respond better to different forms of treatment. It is hard to offer more helpful information without a photo. In some cases, if the crow's feet lines connect with a lot of redundant skin folds on either the upper or lower eyelid, blepharoplasty may be helpful. I recommend seeing an oculoplastic surgeon for an in-person exam to determine what is causing your crow's feet lines to persist despite neuromodulator treatment, and to devise a treatment plan that suits your aesthetic goals.

Answer: Crow's feet A good strong browlift, an upper blepharoplasty, and laser resurfacing gets rid of crow's feet. And good sun protection coupled with reparative skin care. You are correct, Botox alone will not permanently improve crow's feet. Lori L. Cherup , MD, FACS, Pittsburgh
