He brings his extensive expertise to our plastic surgery body contouring center. His interests lie in primary and revision rhinoplasty and minimally invasive-to-comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
He holds several accomplishments in the medical field for his research and other educational and medical device contributions in various areas including obstructive sleep apnea, snoring, and skin care rejuvenation.
Dr Vish serves as Founder of ZendyHealth, an innovative digital health platform connecting patients to high quality medical, cosmetic, and dental providers. He has been featured as an expert in skin and cosmetic care in a variety of media outlets including InStyle, Gentry Magazine, Refinery29, Beauty World News, High Fashion Magazine, and others. He is a staunch supporter and promoter of simple, do-it-yourself health, weight loss, and cosmetic tips and tricks so that one can feel their very best.
His lectures have taken him worldwide to share his expertise in facial and cosmetic surgery, and his list of publications is extensive. Dr. Banthia has lectured on his techniques in minimally invasive surgery and laser surgery to plastic surgeons, facial plastic surgeons and dermatologists throughout the country.
Dr. Vish was selected to be a trainer for Lifestyle Lift™ surgeons, and he received a selective Humanitarian Travel Award sponsored by the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery to be part of a surgical team performing pro bono cleft lip/palate and microtia surgery in Honduras. While he was formerly in practice in the San Francisco Bay Area and in Los Angeles at the Cedars Sinai Medical Center, Dr Banthia was recognized as a “Top Doctor” and “Top Surgeon” in both regions.
Dr Vish has performed thousands of face and nasal procedures and his underlying principles include achieving a rejuvenated, refreshed, and natural look. For rhinoplasty in particular, Dr Banthia’s results yield a professional, natural appearance as opposed to an ‘over-operated’ or scooped appearance that often compromise nasal breathing and airflow.
