Point to the thing you want to change. We will tell you where BOTOX Cosmetic fits, where the use is off-label, and when a different answer should come first.

Short answerThere is one complete product profile.
Each concern below is its own decision branch because the muscle, goal, tradeoffs, approval status, and alternatives change by area.
No anatomy vocabulary required. You can change your answer at any time.
FDA-approved use
Crow's feet
Moderate to severe lateral canthal lines
This is an exact BOTOX Cosmetic indication when the lines are driven by the muscle around the eye at full smile. It can soften the radiating lines without asking you to stop smiling; dose and placement determine how much movement remains.
Could help with
Dynamic lines beside the eyes at full smile
A softer eye-area expression
Repeated muscle folding while the product is active
Will not automatically fix
Under-eye hollows or bags
Brown or blue discoloration
All crepey texture or static lines

Your starting note
I am exploring BOTOX Cosmetic for crow's feet.
My priorities: keep some movement.
FDA-approved use: The exact area is included in the current U.S. BOTOX Cosmetic label.
I want an assessment before deciding on treatment, dose, placement, or timing.
Questions I want answered:
1. Are my lines dynamic, static, or mixed?
2. How much smile movement will remain?
3. How often do you treat this exact eye area?
Looking for migraine, sweating, muscle spasm, or bladder treatment?
That is medical BOTOX, not this cosmetic decision path.
The same nonproprietary ingredient can appear under separate indications and prescribing information. This page does not turn those conditions into med-spa services.

Product claims resolve to regulator or manufacturer receipts.
FDA approval does not make BOTOX Cosmetic appropriate for every concern, person, dose, treatment area, or aesthetic goal.
BOTOX Cosmetic Units are product-specific and cannot be compared with or converted into Units of another botulinum toxin.
Product trust does not validate a clinic's inventory, injector, placement, price, follow-up, or outcomes.
Lip flip, gummy smile, bunny lines, mouth-corner treatment, masseter slimming, and TMJ symptom treatment are not included in the current FDA-approved BOTOX Cosmetic indications.
AI simulations on the profile are fictional educational illustrations, not real patients, predictions, or evidence of an individual outcome.

Product, safety, and evidence details
What is verified
The current FDA prescribing information verifies four adult cosmetic indications and preserves area-specific dosing, administration, clinical-study, contraindication, warning, and adverse-reaction boundaries.
Prescription biologic administered by a licensed, trained clinician
Safety boundary
In two crow's-feet trials, eyelid edema occurred in 1% of BOTOX Cosmetic participants versus 0% with placebo. The boxed warning and post-market safety sections preserve rare but serious risks even when labeled cosmetic use is common.
Common and expected
Needle-site discomfort or pain
Bruising or bleeding
Localized swelling or redness
Eyelid edema; 1% in lateral-canthal-line trials
Rare but serious
Distant spread of toxin effect
Problems swallowing, speaking, or breathing
Generalized muscle weakness
Serious allergic reaction
Corneal exposure or ulceration related to reduced blinking
Life-threatening respiratory or swallowing complications, including reported deaths
