Surgery that is purely cosmetic is never covered by insurance. Surgery itself will not eliminate tiny, fine wrinkles around the eyelids known as crow's feet. The only way to get rid of crow's feet is with botox injections, chemical peels or laser resurfacing of the area. The laser resurfacing will burn off the top layers of the skin in a controlled, gentle manner and collagen will realign, giving the new skin that forms a much younger, fresher appearance. Crow's feet can be eliminated with either botulinum or botox injections every three to six months.
Chemical peels can help as well.
Longer lasting resurfacing with a carbon dioxide laser will get rid of the crow's feet or fine wrinkles around the eye. Return to Dr. Neigel's home page. P.A. All Rights Reserved.
