About
Facial surgery, only.
Murrieta Facial Plastic Surgery is a single-surgeon practice, and it operates only on the face and nose.
In Murrieta, California.
THE PRACTICE
Why the practice is face-only
Murrieta Facial Plastic Surgery is a single-surgeon practice limited to surgery of the face and nose. Dr. Vishal Banthia focuses on facelift, neck lift, eyelid surgery, and rhinoplasty, and the practice carries no injectables, no laser resurfacing, and no medical spa. That narrowing is deliberate.
It also changes who the practice is for. Someone looking for a filler appointment is better served elsewhere, and the practice would rather say so early than take the booking. What remains are patients considering facial surgery, who want a surgical evaluation and a candid answer when an operation is unlikely to be worth it.

APPROACH
What happens in the consultation
Facial surgery is planned on a specific face, not on a procedure name. Dr. Banthia spends the consultation working out what the patient wants to improve and what an operation can and cannot change about it. Some consultations end with a recommendation not to operate, and that happens whenever an operation is unlikely to deliver what the patient came in wanting.
