Softening frown lines, forehead lines, and crow's feet with placement planned around how your face actually moves.
What is BOTOX®?
BOTOX® is an FDA-approved injectable neurotoxin that temporarily relaxes specific facial muscles to soften dynamic wrinkles and prevent new ones from forming. At Nixon Plastic Surgery in Nashville, TN, Dr. Nixon uses BOTOX® as part of a thoughtful facial rejuvenation strategy, with placement guided by anatomical precision rather than a one-size-fits-all template.
BOTOX® is one of the most studied and refined cosmetic treatments available. When performed by an experienced injector, results look natural and preserve normal facial expression. Browse all nonsurgical treatments to compare options.
Nashville BOTOX® treatment with surgeon-level anatomical precision.
BOTOX® softens dynamic wrinkles, the lines that appear with movement, by temporarily relaxing the underlying muscles. Dr. Nixon uses BOTOX® in Nashville for the forehead, frown lines, crow’s feet, and other targeted areas where muscle activity contributes to visible lines.
BOTOX® results depend heavily on placement, dosing, and judgment. The same number of units can produce very different outcomes in different hands. Dr. Nixon’s plastic surgery training provides the anatomical foundation for treatments that look smooth without freezing facial expression.
If you are considering BOTOX® in Nashville, your consultation reviews your concerns, evaluates facial muscle activity, and creates a plan tailored to your features and goals.

How is botox performed?
BOTOX® is administered in a quick in-office visit. Dr. Nixon uses a fine needle to inject small, precise amounts of product into the targeted muscles, guided by anatomical landmarks and aesthetic judgment.
Your treatment may include several decisions:
- –Treatment areas. Forehead, frown lines, crow’s feet, or other targeted zones.
- –Unit dosing. Dosing is calibrated to the patient’s muscle strength and goals.
- –Injection technique. Placement, depth, and angle are tailored to each area.
- –Conservative starting dose. Many patients begin with a conservative dose that can be adjusted at follow-up.
- –Combination treatments. BOTOX® is often combined with dermal fillers for full-face refresh.
Plastic surgery training with reconstructive depth and cosmetic refinement.
BOTOX® is often performed by injectors with limited anatomical training. Dr. Nixon’s background as a plastic surgeon gives him the anatomical foundation to understand exactly which muscles drive which lines, and how to dose each one safely.
His Aesthetic Society endorsed aesthetic surgery fellowship in Newport Beach, California reinforced refined aesthetic judgment that complements the anatomy.
Patients choose Dr. Nixon for BOTOX® when they want a clinician-level approach instead of a template treatment. Results that look natural come from a thoughtful, personalized plan.
