Crow’s feet and smile lines are typical issues that become worse with age and reflect the natural aging process. Dr. Solomon Azouz at Azouz Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery understands how these lines can impact one’s appearance and offers personalized treatments to address and rejuvenate your features. The gold standard treatment for crow’s feet is nonsurgical neuromodulators such as Botox™, Dysport, Juveau, and Daxify.

When you smile, the natural rising of your lips and cheeks draws attention to the groove that forms between your nose and cheekbones. Because young skin has plenty of collagen and flexibility, it returns to its smooth surface quickly after smiling. But as you age, gravity pushes the skin and underlying structures below, and your collagen and elasticity decline. As a result, deep wrinkles called crow’s feet, or smile lines, develop from the side of your nose to the corner of your mouth.

Understanding Smile Lines

Treatment for Smile Lines:

To recontour your facial features and erase crow’s feet, Dr. Azouz offers multiple surgical and nonsurgical treatment options. Facial fat transfer, or nano fat grafting, is a successful treatment for mild instances. Using liposuction, the fat is removed from one section of the body and spun in a centrifuge. Then, the fat cells and stem cells are carefully injected into the areas that need volume. Under the direction of Dr. Azouz’s skill, this natural filler procedure revitalizes the skin.  Botox is often a superior nonsurgical solution however it involves repeated procedures.  Long-lasting Daxify can enhance the process.
