Botox for crows feet. Any good?

Im only 31 but have really really bad lines all around my eyes. Ive needed glasses for 7 years and not bothered wearing them so Ive squinted to for all these years and the damage has well and truly been done.

I now have glasses AND wrinkles. Sad

Ive been searching 'botox' on here a lot but theres a lot about people getting their 11's done but little or nothing about crows feet.

Has anyone had it done?

Thanks

Not had it done for crows feet. Did a bit of research in it and decided to steer clear. Too many bad reports.

I had my first lot of botox in March. Between brows (+ a bit of filler) and some jabs round my outer eyes/upper cheek which is to reduce the stack of wrinkles I have there when I smile (I am 60). I would say it worked but needs done again in 3 months, or that was the info at the clinic, so, in theory due any day, which makes it too expensive really. I can't tell you the cost as I had other stuff done too and it totaled 1000 dollars (was in us).

So you can get it done. I don't spose there is much harm in trying it once. The clinic I went to was very good and they just did what was needed rather than me telling them.
Visit a clinic and see what they say, how confident you feel about them. You don't want anyone 'practising' on you!

Thank you dozie.

Foxy Ive googled quite a bit, but havent found any bad reports apart from someone having a reaction to having their 11's done.

Did you find bad press about botox generally, or particularly botox round the eyes?

No, I have Botox for the vertical lines between my brows, so I'm not adverse to it at all. It was specifically crows feet that I read negative reviews about.
