Crow’s Feet Correction: What Are My Options?
While no one ages exactly the same, there are some areas of the face that tend to develop wrinkles more than others. Wrinkles or deep lines around the outer corner of the eyes are among the most common signs of facial aging. These eye wrinkles are often referred to as “crow’s feet.”
If you’ve had a life full of laughter and smiles, you probably have something to show for it on your face. Like other wrinkles, crow’s feet are caused by repetitive facial expressions, such as smiling, squinting, or laughing, which cause the skin to crease and eventually form lines.
Why Do I Have Such Noticeable Eye Wrinkles Already?
Crow’s feet wrinkles can become noticeable at different ages for different people, but they typically start to appear in the mid to late 30s or early 40s. The development and severity of your crow’s feet can depend on factors such as genetics, lifestyle habits and skin type.
The following factors may contribute to the development of crow’s feet include:
Age
As we age, our skin loses elasticity and becomes thinner, making it more prone to wrinkles and fine lines.
Sun Exposure
Exposure to UV rays can damage the skin and accelerate the aging process, leading to the development of wrinkles and other signs of aging.
Smoking
Smoking can cause oxidative stress and damage to the skin, leading to premature aging and the development of wrinkles.
Genetics
Some people may be more genetically predisposed to developing crow’s feet and other signs of aging.
While crow’s feet are a natural part of the aging process, there are steps you can take to help prevent or delay their development. These include wearing sunscreen, avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, eating a healthy diet, and using anti-aging skincare products.
What Can a Plastic Surgeon Do to Help?
If you already have noticeable crow’s feet around your eyes that are making you look much older than you really are, a plastic surgeon can help. At Beverly Hills Center, our patients have access to a top-ranked facial plastic surgeon who can help improve the appearance of crow’s feet through various surgical and non-surgical procedures. Dr. Ben Talei can offer the following treatment options to reduce the appearance of Crow’s feet:
Botox Injections
Botox is a neurotoxin that temporarily paralyzes the muscles that cause crow’s feet. When injected into the affected area, it can smooth out wrinkles and create a more youthful appearance.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers can be used to plump up the skin around the eyes, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
Laser Resurfacing
Laser treatments can be used to remove damaged skin cells and stimulate the growth of new, healthier skin. This can help reduce the appearance of crow’s feet and other signs of aging.
Eyelid Surgery
Also known as blepharoplasty, this surgical procedure involves removing excess skin and fat from the eyelids to create a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
