Botox in Beverly Hills & Los Angeles, CA

Botox Cosmetic is an FDA-approved natural product made from the botulinum toxin type A (clostridium botulinum) that can be used to soften and smooth moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (the glabella) and other fine lines and wrinkles. The effects are noticeable after 24 hours and reach the full effect by 3 days. It usually lasts from 3 to 4 months, for this reason, but this can vary from patient to patient. Botox injections are also helpful in reducing the appearance of crow’s feet and dynamic wrinkles at the corners of the eyes.

What many patients don’t know is that Botox can also be used to change the shape and position of the eyebrow. As people age, it is natural for the brow to slowly drop, allowing excess skin to roll over the upper eyelid, giving a heavy, tired appearance to the eyes.

Botox can improve this problem by elevating the brow back up into a more youthful position

And though not a real substitute for Brow Lifts, Botox can improve this problem by elevating the brow back up into a more youthful position. It does this by reducing the activity of muscle contracts that pull the eyebrow down. This allows the muscles that elevate the brow to act with less resistance, thereby bringing the eyebrow up improving the patient’s facial expression.

Candidates for the Botox Treatment

As shown below, the patient here is in her mid 30’s and has had some normal signs of aging changes to her brow. Notice the excess skin lying over the upper eyelid (Figure 1). After using only 15 units of Botox (2 units near each eye and 11 between the eyebrows) I elevate her eyebrows into a more youthful position (Figure 2). Notice how much more of the upper eyelid is visible, and see how, when applied correctly, will then create an attractive elevation of the lateral brow. Each patient is unique, with their own medical conditions, and I, as a plastic surgeon, design these treatments for every patient. Learn more about your specific case by scheduling a consultation.

What Our Botox Los Angeles Patients Are Saying

I went to 4 of the top facial plastics rhinoplasty docs in southern california. All were great but Dr. Swartout was the best. I had my primary (open) rhinoplasty 3 years ago and was very unhappy with the results. Dr. Swartout spent an hour with me and we both agreed upon a digital image of what I wanted my nose to look like. He told me it’s important that we’re on the same page and that’s why the digital image is so important…it’s his goal to achieve that result while doing the surgery. It’s been 2 months and my nose looks fabulous. I went to a family party 8 days after surgery and no one…

I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Swartout. Upon meeting with him the first time he quickly and easily earned my trust and confidence. He took a lot of time to explain the procedure he would be performing and what I could expect in regard to the healing process. I appreciated his patience and the time he spent with me to make sure I understood the procedure. Most notably is Dr. Swartout’s ethic of care and concern for me as a patient. He stayed after the surgery to check in on me, he responded to my phone calls personally and promptly, and rather than making me schedule additional…

Dr. Swartout is awesome! After having two failed rhinoplasty procedures, I was lucky to find Dr. Swartout. He completely fixed my nose and dramatically improved my breathing (which was never addressed in my previous surgeries). My nose also looks beautiful! I had given up on my nose ever being fixed let alone looking normal. After my fist visit, I was convinced Dr. Swartout could help me. He is very friendly and patient and truly cares about each patient’s experience pre- and post-op. Because he took his time and was so careful, I had practically no swelling or bruising. Within a week my nose…

FAQs about Botox Injections

Some doctors charge for Botox by the area and some charge by the unit. What is the difference?

With Botox, the more units you use, the more effect you will have on a particular patient. Therefore, for a more subtle result, less can be used and it will cost less. A more dramatic result may require more Botox and will cost more. I believe the best results can be attained by customizing the approach for every patient and finding the appropriate amount to get the desired results. By charging by the unit, the patient will only pay for the effect requested.

Can Botox be used around the mouth?

Frequently patients request an improvement in the “purse string” or “Smoker’s lines” around the mouth. Despite the name, these lines can be found even in non-smokers and can be caused by repeated use of the muscles around the mouth. Often the presence of these wrinkles imparts a look of disapproval. A small amount of Botox can be used in this muscle to slightly soften these wrinkles. Thus, in the appropriate patient, it can significantly reduce these bothersome lines.

How much Botox do I need?

Botox works by temporally weakening the muscles it is injected into, so it basically depends on your anatomy and the desired effect. Some patients only need 15 units, while others require as much as 50 or more. For first-time patients, I like to err on the conservative side to avoid any side effects. But we can always add additional as needed.
