  • Dr. Swartout is, hands-down, the best rhinoplasty surgeon out there

    I rarely do reviews, but I felt this was an important review to write because Dr. Swartout does not have much of an online presence.

    Dr. Swartout is, hands-down, the best rhinoplasty surgeon out there. It’s important that plastic surgeons also be artists. Dr. Swartout is an artist with a fantastic aesthetic. Most importantly, he is extremely patient oriented. He only does max one surgery a day (unlike a lot of surgeons who do multiple and provide less focus on the patient) so hes really able to focus on the patient.

    I can’t say enough good things about him!

  • Dr. Swartout takes time to speak with you

    I feel so lucky to have found Dr. Swartout. I previously had a bad experience with another plastic surgeon and Dr. Swartout has significantly improved my case (i.e. my rhinoplasty outcome). Unlike some other doctors I have seen, Dr. Swartout takes time to speak with you, makes you feel comfortable and informed, and reviews pros and cons to every available option. I greatly appreciate his conservative and thoughtful approach. Highly recommend.

  • I have to say Benjamin is top 1

    I had the nose revision consultation with more than 10 world-renowned surgeons. I have to say Benjamin is top 1. One surgeon even charges me $1000 for the merely consultation. Benjamin does it for free to contribute to the community. He is so patient and nice that you can ask him everything about the rhinoplasty. He concerns your feelings/safety/health more than money.

  • He is a great doctor and human being

    Dr. Benjamin Swartout is one of best plastic surgeons who is an ENT and qualified rhinoplasty septoplasty surgeons. I am very picky and detailed and glad to choose him. He is a great doctor and human being. Thanks doctor.

  • He is the best there is

    I simply cannot go without writing Dr. Swartout a review. I’ll get to the point: this man is a master at revision rhinoplasty and fixed my very complicated situation. I had given up hope of every being fixed, and he has given me a priceless gift–confidence. It’s only been two weeks, but already the result is wonderful, natural and beautiful! He used rib grafting to rebuild the bridge, and I was shocked that I didn’t experience pain. Discomfort and a little soreness at the incision site but that was about it and that only lasted two days. He is humble, generous with his time, realistic and also very funny. I am forever grateful to him! Don’t let the lack of social media deter you. He is the best there is.

  • I got so lucky to stumble upon Dr Swartout

    I got so lucky to stumble upon Dr Swartout. I was sent to a “doc Hollywood” who turned me down- that’s how crumpled my septum was- and was referred to Dr Swartout. Thank God I was. He did a wonderful job and it was not an easy one. He fixed my septum and made my nose slightly smaller. Per my desire, he kept it big-ish so I don’t look completely different. He didn’t do it the way he thought it should look, he followed my request to a T. I was up and running in no time. dr Swartout made the whole thing fast, efficient, fun (yes! Bc he’s funny), and nearly painless. The discomfort I felt was mainly due to pressure.
    I can’t recommend him any higher. It’s been over a year since my nose surgery and I am delighted with the results. Most importantly, I can breathe again!

  • Really fantastic doctor

    Best ENT I’ve seen. He truly does care about his patients. Very skilled. I just recommended him to another friend and that prompted me to add a review here. Really fantastic doctor.

  • Best Rhino Revision Doc In Town

    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 noticed I had surgery. All they said was “wow you look great”, etc. I met with another, well-known, doc in town who is known for closed primary rhino and he referred me to Dr. Swartout. He told me he has sent patients to various facial plastics docs and Dr. Swartout’s patients have consistently been the happiest. That’s all I needed to hear. I few of my close friends and relatives are MDs and they told me to make sure to have a board-certified, ENT-trained, facial plastics doc do my surgery and not have a general plastics doc do it. ENT docs focus ONLY on the face/neck during their entire training. General plastics focus on the entire body (breast, lipo, etc). I was dreading have a revision, especially because I had such a bad experience with my first surgery. Dr. Swartout gained my trust and delivered realistic, beautiful results. When having plastic surgery, it’s wise to get several consultations/opinions. It would be unwise not to have one of those be with Dr. Swartout.

  • I can’t say enough good things

    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 follow-up appointments with him at his office, he made arrangements to meet me at my appointments at my primary surgeon’s office. He did this multiple times during the initial weeks after my surgery. Dr. Swartout is great!
