“While traditional facelift techniques tend to make the aging face appear wider, my focus is on making the face smaller as I place components of tissue to be repositioned directly north. The result is a more vibrant-looking face, which is what we focus on achieving. The ‘BYUN Method’ reconstructs the aging face—it’s not a facelift; it’s a muscle repair.” -Dr. Michael BYUN

20’s
There are some young patients who can benefit from Dr. BYUN’s Famous Muscle Restoration technique as early as their 20’s. You may be thinking about a ‘facelift’ due to early drooping which can be linked to genetics, major weight loss, congenital defects or unfavorable bone structure.
30’s
Dr. BYUN’s Famous Facelift and Muscle Repair Technique isn’t just for Grandma. If you’ve become dependent on filler or if you’re experiencing the normal signs of aging earlier than expected, then Dr. BYUN’s Face Restoration may be right for you. Set the tone for being able to age more gracefully from here on out.
40’s
It can be tough to find the perfect time for surgery, but Dr. BYUN will always encourage patients to have procedures done sooner rather than later, because not only will you curb the aging process, but you will also be able to bounce back sooner and enjoy results longer. You will age more slowly than your twin sister or cousin. (plus the ‘reset’ will be less dramatic of a change – so your friends and family will ask what you’ve been eating and your personal trainer’s name)
50’s
Is life just starting to settle into place where you’ve had a second to actually stop and look in the mirror? Noticing stress and life’s wear and tear on your face? With kids away and retirement right around the corner, now may be the best time to plan a ‘reset’ with Dr. BYUN and his team. Repair your facial muscles back up and into their original location – where they were when you were 29.
60’s
Turn back the hands of time with Dr. BYUN’s Famous Facelift Muscle Repair Technique. Challenge him with a photo of your younger self and let him get to work. With results so natural, your friends will ask what you’ve been eating.
70’s
Does your face no longer match up with your personality and energy? You belong at Dr. BYUN’s office where age is TRULY, just a number. Restore your ‘mansion’ in the most natural and physiologically correct way possible. Look like YOU after surgery, NOT a cookie-cutter pulled apart version.

Enter: Dr. Michael BYUN
Highly regarded Professors at the prestigious Northwestern University did not know what to make of this young boy genius from South Korea on referring to a facelift as more appropriately ‘facial reconstructive surgery’ or even more understandably and simply as ‘MUSCLE REPAIR for the aging face’.
While you might think this nuance in language is subtle, it actually clarifies 2 very salient points in the mind of the potential cosmetic patient: one, it shatters the stigma of ‘getting work done’ for the sake of vanity; after all, your muscle has been damaged to the point of sagging or even dangling off the bone under the skin. You must realize, in the eyes of Byun, this is simply a corrective medical procedure to the aging process. And two, it differentiates the actual medical procedure itself as being totally and distinctly different from that of other Plastic Surgeons’ methods as a breakthrough establishing the ‘BYUN Method’ as the vanguard for attaining a more organic, natural, beautiful result.
You will still look like you. And that’s the difference.

Say it isn’t so… it’s hard to believe Madonna really wanted to change her look so drastically. The new face Madonna revealed at the 2023 Grammy Music Awards was the talk of the town. Probably the talk of every town everywhere across the globe. Fans expressed shock, sadness and very little support. Comments on social media became a mini-battle over what defines beauty.

“When you look at a flower or fine art, it’s a very biologically inclined notion of what is beautiful. For me, it’s all about maintaining the right proportions.”
– Michael BYUN, MD
Dr. BYUN Focuses on 4 Areas of the Face (4 Zones):
- Zone I is the neck and lower face (best for someone with a “turkey neck”).
- Zone II is the mouth area (best for someone with a marionette line, or a sad/mean look).
- Zone III is the midface (best for someone with a tired look/dark circles, heavy smile lines).
- Zone IV is the upper face (best for someone with a hooded brow, forehead lines, upper eye)

My $46,000 Plastic Surgery Quote
Two cosmetic surgeons explain what it takes to be camera-ready, Kardashian-style.
by Adrienne Gunn
I’m not Instagram pretty. I don’t have thick brows arched over perpetually startled doe eyes. My eyelashes are stumpy, and the one time I tried to boost them with a growth serum, I ended up with a patch of coarse blond hair under my eyes that was very painful to pluck. Even though, sure, I’d love to look like I’ve been drawn by some guy at Pixar, my pores, wrinkles, scars, and spots betray me. On average, my selfies spark approximately 76 likes. And if I had to say what celebrity I most resemble, it would be Gwyneth Paltrow’s second cousin. You know, the one who’s Cheesecake Factory pretty.
And that’s just fine with me.

Face-Lift
No, you can’t turn back time — but Byun can make you look like you did. Dissatisfied with both the outcome and the longevity of the traditional face-lift, Byun developed an endoscopic method that hikes not the dermis itself but the midface muscles underneath. Ten thousand patients later, his process is nothing if not precise.
The procedure entails tethering two sets of dissolvable sutures from incisions in the hairline and temples to the cheek and jaw muscles. Once the sutures are in place, Byun gently tugs at them to coax the muscles upward, thus tightening the sagging skin on top.
Patients can expect to look like younger, fresher versions of themselves, with a major reduction in the appearance of jowls, nasolabial folds, and sagging in the upper cheek and lower eyelid area.
Most impressive, though, is the procedure’s reported longevity: 15-plus years, versus the 10 of a traditional lift.
