Since founding Westside Aesthetics in Los Angeles, Dr. Alexander Rivkin has earned a reputation as a pioneer in non-surgical aesthetics. Originally trained in ENT, he was drawn to the possibilities of injectables early in his career and has since become a leading authority on advanced non-surgical procedures.

Patients know him best for his signature treatment, the non-surgical rhinoplasty, which has become a trusted alternative for reshaping or even correcting surgical results without another operation. 

What makes him stand out, though, isn’t just innovation. It’s his honesty, approachable style, and focus on making every visit feel comfortable and stress-free.

At Westside Aesthetics, the vibe is warm and welcoming (therapy dogs included). His philosophy is simple: real expertise, straight talk, and treatments designed to help patients feel understood, supported, and at ease.

ABOUT MEET THE INJECTOR 

Whether you’re trying injectables for the first time or making a change to a new provider, the more you can learn about who your aesthetic injector is before you’re in the chair, the better that appointment will be. 

When choosing an injector, you want someone who knows their way around neuromodulators like Botox, Dysport, and Daxxify, fillers like Juvéderm and Restylane, and biostimulators like Sculptra. 

Meet The Injector features trusted professionals sharing their expertise and stories, so you can feel confident about who you trust with your face.

There’s no substitute for an in-person appointment, but we hope this comes close.

Meet The Injector is a production of The Axis.
Made with love in Austin, Texas.
