Kriya GishenDr

Dr. Kriya is an Ivy League trained Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon who specializes in facial aesthetics and reconstruction. Her formal training in both the biological sciences and the visual arts was completed at Brown University, and her surgical fellowship in Craniofacial reconstruction and facial aesthetics was completed at the University of California Los Angeles, which is one of the oldest and most renowned craniofacial programs in the world.

Dr Kriya’s skills embody the synergistic marriage of art and science. Today, she continues her academic pursuits by working as a voluntary faculty member at UCLA, where she works alongside leaders of the craniofacial field to train residents while providing care to pediatric and adult populations. At her private practice, she largely focuses on facial feminization and facial aesthetics; she has a particular passion for rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty, and facial rejuvenation. However, with her background as a sculptor she also skillfully performs body contouring and breast procedures.

Dr Gishen has a natural artistic eye for the shapes, proportions, highlights, and shadows that define the basic constructs of a beautiful form. She has the surgical finesse to achieve a perfectly balanced harmony between said form and one’s requisite anatomic function. She believes that as a plastic and reconstructive surgeon, she has the privilege and responsibility to holistically treat her patients, augmenting their mental, emotional, and physical attributes to maximize health and wellness
