Let’s be honest: if you’ve ever pulled back your own face in the mirror and thought, “Yes, this—this is the look,” you’re not alone. This week, Tyler and Andrew saddle up to dissect thread lifting, a procedure that sounds like it belongs in a sewing kit but actually involves barbed wires in your cheeks. Yes, really. If that sounds horrifying, don’t worry—Andrew explains it with the reassuring calm of a man who has definitely put more threads into people than a conspiracy subreddit.
We also talk Botox pricing structures that might be secretly screwing you over (spoiler: “per area” pricing is the Wild West of aesthetics), why “dose to effect” is the gospel injectors should be preaching, and how filler migration isn’t the ghost story you’ve been led to believe—it’s often just a tale of lazy technique. And then, in the grand finale, Tyler gleefully exposes Andrew’s complete incompetence with drywall, rice, and… temperature?
So whether you’re a curious patient, a seasoned injector, or just someone who wants to hear a professional doctor flail wildly when asked how to cook a steak, this episode has it all.

What is botox COWBOYS?
A doctor, a cowboy, and a syringe walk into a podcast. This is that podcast.
Welcome to botox COWBOYS, the aesthetics podcast for people who don’t think they’re the type to listen to an aesthetics podcast.
Hosted by Dr. Andrew Dargie — world-class injector with a cowboy’s charm and a scalpel-sharp wit — and Tyler Brooker — his best friend, first patient, and full-time guinea pig — this show cuts through the stigma, the sales talk, and the social media smoke to give you the unfiltered truth about cosmetic medicine.
Whether you’re a provider, a patient, or a skeptical cowboy who thinks “filler” is just what goes in fence posts, you’re welcome here. We’re talking botox, biostimulants, and bad decisions; filler myths, forehead lines, and why men are still weird about all of it.
No gatekeeping. No BS. Just honest, hilarious, and sometimes slightly horrifying stories from the front lines of beauty.
So saddle up. Because looking good shouldn’t feel this funny.
