Crow's feet at the outer eyes.

Crow's feet are the lines that spread from the outer corners of the eyes. They often become clearer when you smile or squint. The pattern, depth and direction can differ between people and between the two sides of the face. Their presence does not mean anything is wrong or that treatment is needed.

Crow’s feet may look less noticeable when surface dryness is addressed, but complete removal cannot be promised. The important first distinction is whether the lines appear mainly with smiling or squinting, remain at rest, or are influenced by the surrounding skin. A consultation can then explain what may be appropriate, what may remain and the relevant eye-area risks. Sun protection helps limit further sun damage.

Smiling and squinting repeatedly fold the skin beside your eyes. Over time, those folds can leave lines that remain after your face relaxes; ageing and sun damage also contribute. A line seen only during a smile is different from a crease already there at rest. You can have both, which is why the same approach may not suit every line.

Crow's feet sit beside the eyes and usually become clearer with smiling or squinting. Forehead lines run across the forehead as the eyebrows lift. Frown lines sit between the brows as they draw together. They can appear together because expressions involve several areas, but the movement and balance around each concern are different.

Usually not. Crow's feet spread beside the outer corner of the eye. Fine texture is surface creasing below the eye, puffiness creates fullness, and a hollow can create a dip or shadow between the lower eyelid and cheek. More than one feature can be present. Corey can examine the exact area; persistent eye symptoms may need an optometrist, ophthalmologist or GP, while a persistent skin problem may need a GP or dermatologist.

Your smile involves both your mouth and the movement around your eyes. Changing outer-eye movement can make a smile look or feel different, even when your mouth moves normally. Corey compares a gentle and a fuller smile, including cheek movement, and asks what you want to preserve. Any proposed option should include an explanation of possible unwanted changes to expression or eyelid position. Keeping your familiar smile is a planning priority, but an unchanged expression cannot be promised.

Yes. Mention dryness, grittiness, watering, irritation, contact lens intolerance, recent eye surgery or trouble closing an eyelid. These can reflect an eye or eyelid problem that needs assessment before cosmetic care. Corey can explain whether an optometrist, ophthalmologist or GP should assess the symptom first; a cosmetic consultation does not diagnose an eye condition.
