Benjamin G. Swartout

This Dr. has to be one of THE MOST pleasant, honest & straightforward Dr.'s I've EVER had the pleasure of visiting. I literally just left his office and opened my computer to tell the world how enjoyable this visit was. He is smart, kind and was extremely generous with his time! Very patient with all my comments and questions. If you have the chance to consult with him....do not hesitate!!!!

Dr. Swartout is an outstanding physician and surgeon. He ranks among the best rhinoplasty surgeons available in the world today, and perhaps the best for revision in the United States. This is not only my opinion, but what I have been told by other very well known surgeons in the area, as well as, my personal physician. I had a complex case which he diligently corrected, giving me a natural, striking, nose that fits my face. It’s kind of shocking how much he was able to change and improve my nose while keeping it looking natural, to the point that no one knows I had work done unless I tell them. My case was a revision. The first surgeon doesn’t do rhinoplasty any more, that’s how bad he messed my nose up. Swartout is meticulous as well as conservative. The best combo for a nose surgeon, imo. In addition, he is incredibly bright (he went to Harvard) as well as funny, down to earth, and personable. I have recommended him to several people and he has delivered in each case. He’s extremely focused on good work but also modest, a rarity in the Beverly Hills area. One piece of advice to anyone considering cosmetic surgery, and especially rhinoplasty: keep your expectations realistic, tell your surgeon exactly what you are hoping for, and then listen to them when they explain what they can do. No one goes from being a 3 to an 8 on the looks scale from rhinoplasty, but it can greatly improve your facial harmony. Best of luck! But then again, if you go with Swartout I don’t think you’ll need it.

Dr. Swartout performed a revision surgery 6 months ago. Approximately 1.5 years ago, another surgeon 'botched' my first surgery to repair a collapsed nasal valve, repair a deviated septum and remove a 'bump' on the bridge of my nose (none was done). In addition, I experienced extreme post surgical pain from the first surgery. That botched surgery did not restore my ability to breathe. Dr. Swartout is truly a wonderful physician. He is honest, caring, and sets forth reasonable expectations. 6 months after Dr. Swartout's revision surgery, my recovery has exceeded his initial expectations. I can breathe (which is amazing), the bump on the bridge of my nose is gone, and the red blotch continues to fade away. I so appreciate Dr. Swartout's professionalism and skill as a surgeon. He gets 10 stars from me!

Dr Swartout is incredible. Just fixed my deviated septum masterfully. Exceeded expectations x 10. The whole experience was seamless and perfect. Thank you

Dr. Swartout is amazing. I traveled across the country for a revision rhinoplasty after 18 years of breathing issues and a collapsing right nostril. His work is subtle perfection. It is the high caliber of work that fixes your breathing issues and improves facial aesthetics, yet doesn't scream obvious nose job. Beautiful wound closure for imperceptible inicisions. Office staff is efficient and kind. I wish I had done this sooner.

Dr. Swartout is an artist with a phenomenal hand for what he does. I went to him for a first time rhinoplasty consultation and left his office wanting to schedule a surgery date immediately. I walked in there with no photos or expectations as to the shape I was looking for and he presented me with a gorgeous natural looking nose just perfect for my face and personality. He has a great eye for simple, natural beauty and knows exactly how to achieve it. He's very proud and sure of his abilities yet humble and honest enough to remind you that he is also human and no one is perfect, but he always strives to get as close to perfect as possible (and he did). He has a gentle hand, kind heart, and confident tone in easing all your questions and concerns. I would recommend Dr. Swartout to anyone looking for a rhinoplasty, first time or revision, in a single heartbeat. After showing my results to friends and colleagues, within the first day, I had been asked who my surgeon was and referred 3 different people to Dr. Swartout. Most rhinoplasty consultations are $200-$500+ non-refundable but his are completely free of charge which is extremely rare in LA so there's no reason to not check him out and see what he's about. I'm certain after meeting him for the first time you'll love him just as much I as do. So proud to be his patient!
