How much or how many units of Botox for my crows feet, etc? (Photo)

Thank you for your question and picture. You have great facial features already! Botox for crow's feet (which are lines radiating from the corner of your eye) depends on how may wrinkles you have in this area. The amount of wrinkles you have from one eye to another can also vary so Botox should be injected for each individual based on your in person evaluation. Some lines can be attractive to some people so you want to make sure your plastic surgeon listens to your goals. As for your 'odd line," that can be addressed with a filler. My reccomendation is that you see a plastic surgeon so she make a plan with you, depending on your goals.  Good luck!

Crows feet wrinkles are caused by contraction of the muscles around your eyes when you smile. They are a very nice feature and for many people there is no reason to treat them. If you don't love your laugh lines then you can soften them with Botox or Dysport. I start with 6 - 10 units on each side. That often softens them without looking too unnatural. Hope that helps.

I usually use 5-7 units per eye laterally into the orbicularis to treat the crows feet area.
I am not sure of pricing in Seattle.
Good luck.

Thank you for your question pnwlover. I understand your concern. Botox
is a purified protein used to address wrinkles associated with facial
expression such as the crows feet seen around the eyes when one smiles. The pivotal studies demonstrated that when 24 units (12 units per side) are used, patients see maximum results at 2 weeks and enjoy their results for 3-4 months. Some people confuse these wrinkles with nasolabial folds that get deeper when one smiles. Nasolabial folds go from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth and some people have parallel radial folds on the cheeks. These are best addressed with fillers and sometimes laser resurfacing. Please consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!

Botox is a wonderful treatment for the crow's feet! It can really soften the lines without changing your smile. You get beautiful natural results if done properly. The recommended amount is 24 units but, as with all cosmetic procedures, this should be customized to help you achieve your best look: some patients need more units, some people need less. This is best assessed during a consultation.As with all cosmetic procedures, the skill of the injector is paramount. Always seek an expert in facial aesthetics, such as a board-certified dermatologist, to maximize results while minimizing side effects.

Thank you for your question.I assume that you want the best aesthetic result available.  This requires a consultation with an experienced board certified PS that has many years of Botox and facial aesthetic experience.  In the consultation he / she will explain your facial anatomy, assess for your facial asymmetries and determine the correct dose and the correct treatment areas to provide you witht a personalized aesthetic outcome that will surpass any of the results that you will achieve from less experienced injectors.  Do not go to an office where they can give you the dose required for an area of treatment without assessing you.  These physicians use a "one dose fits all" approach and their results are far less than you deserve.  Botox is not done well by most physicians.  The product is the same but the results that can be achieved with Botox in the hands of a skilled injector are truly unbelievable.  You deserve the best outcome.  Seek out an experienced injector in your area, wait for the consultation and converse with your physician so that your goals and desired outcomes can be achieved.  The discussion will likely include a skin care, optimizing facial volume and shape, Botox and long term program to maintain your youthful facial appearance and volume.All the best,Scott Barr, MD, FRCSCww.skinmedispa.ca

Hello thank you for your question and the picture. When I treat crow's feet the least amount of units I've used is 2 units on each side and the most amount of units have been 12.5 on each side. It really depends on how your muscles are contracting. In regards to the dimple on your cheek, this can be treated with a dermal filler. I would suggest you visit a practice with a board certified physician and have a consultation. Hope this helps, Dr. S. r

Great question.  I just injected the area.  I use 2 units in each prominent line after squinting.  I just re-evaluate at a 2 week interval if there is an issue.

From your picture I think you are referring to your smile line around your mouth?  If so Botox is not appropriate for this, however dermal fillers would address it nicely.  As for crows feet around the eyes, you may need as little as 2 units to as much as 20 units depending on the severity of the lines.  The cost varies depending on your physicians experience and expertise.  For natural and safe outcomes trust your face to a specialist facial plastic surgeon.  

I think you need about 20-30 units depending on physical exam.  It depends on how strong your muscles are on exam and the bulk.  Good luck!
