Would you like to improve your nose by giving it a more desirable shape? Do you find your nose to be too short or long, lacking a nasal bridge, or too wide? There is a solution to help you improve your profile.
A forehead lift, or brow lift, can relieve that same “tired” look that is treated by a facelift, except it targets a different area of the face. It alleviates those drooping eyebrows, the “hood” over your eyes, forehead furrows, and frown lines, giving the forehead and unblemished appearance.
“The eyes are the window to the soul,” the famous saying goes. Or, as Dr. BYUN says, “the eyes are the window to your age.” Make sure your windows are in optimal condition and awaken your youth with Dr. BYUN’s famous blepharoplasty, with minimal bruising and recovery in mere days.
Would you like to improve the appearance of your upper eyelids? You may be a candidate for double eyelid blepharoplasty, where you can obtain a more desired eye shape with a small amount of skin resection.
Much as how removal and excision can help bring balance to the profile of a face, addition and augmentation can do the same. This often happens in the form of mandible augmentation, where addition happens in the chin or cheek.
Our lips thin as we age and the volume loss creates wrinkles around the mouth and the appearance of premature aging. By plumping up the lips and reducing fine lines around the mouth, we can now restore youthful features and make a remarkable difference in appearance.

Often, conventional thigh lifts by amateur surgeons leave very visible scars along your groin area. Other surgeons often think that they can aggressively lift the thigh like a tube, but this is simply not the case.
For men and women who desire a more balanced physique or simply want curves where there are none, buttock implants are a real option. This procedure improves buttock contour by increasing protrusion and molding the buttock into a rounder and fuller shape, giving the appearance of a “lift” in the buttock area.
Vaser-liposuction may the solution you are looking for. This is not liposuction. It is a process where fat cells are selectively melted using an ultrasonic device that emits 36,000 pulses per second, bursting and vaporizing the fat cells. This is a new, cutting-edge approach to face and body contouring.
Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure performed to enhance the size and shape of a breast. This procedure involves inserting an implant behind each breast to increase the bust size by one or more bra cup sizes.
This procedure is to lift sagging breasts and does not excise or add tissue. Typically, recipients are women who have had their nipple fall beneath the breast and had collapse of the breast tissue due to weight loss, aging, or pregnancy.
Reconstruction of a breast removed due to cancer or other disease is one of the most rewarding surgical procedures for Dr. BYUN. New medical techniques and technology makes it possible to create a breast almost indistinguishable from a natural breast.
Disproportionately large breasts can limit a woman’s freedom, making some physical activities impractical or uncomfortable. Bra straps may chafe against the skin and put a strain on shoulders, potentially impacting circulation.

The Dermal Spin™ technique uses natural products taken from your own body. A small amount of blood is drawn from you and placed in a sterile tube that is spun. The spinning allows the blood to be separated into different components. Platelets are a blood component that help tissue heal and grow new cells.
Laser Skin resurfacing is known to be a technique for dramatically reducing any sun damage to the skin, uneven colored pigments, wrinkles, and reducing any aging lines.
Microdermabrasion is a safe, comprehensive, progressive approach to skin care that has been approved by the FDA. This non-surgical, facial smoothing treatment will enhance the condition of the skin, combat the signs of aging, and help correct sun-damaged skin.
Automated micro-needling with the Eclipse Micropen Elite (also referred to as collagen induction therapy) is a treatment that uses tiny needles to create micro-treatment zones in the skin. These small injuries stimulate the production of collagen and elastin to help resurface the skin.

The first time the modern world entered into war, plastic surgery emerged to prove itself and its significance as a medical field. During World War I surgeons and doctors utilized skill and new advances to heal and restore the bodies, faces, and spirits of our wounded troops.
