21.  How can you get rid of crows feet?

Answer:
The surgical approaches to getting rid of crows feet generally have not been successful. They involve pulling the lateral, vertical portions of the orbicularis occuli or dividing and splaying out the muscle.  Long term results are not very good. Nonsurgical techniques include botoxin injections and laser resurfacing. Both have the disadvantage of requiring repeated treatments.
