A Message from Dr. Michael Byun

“In my practice, I have always maintained that plastic surgery should not be about simply ‘altering’ your features. It should rhyme with functionality and support graceful aging. Much like a cardiac surgeon repairs the heart or a neurosurgeon restores nerve function, my goal is to repair the structural integrity of your face and body so you age better over the next 20 years. I call this ‘Cell Plastic Surgery.’
Whether you are ready for a change or simply want to protect what you have, I have categorized my current focus into four distinct groups to help you find your path:

1. The ‘Corrective’ Group: If Your Results Aren’t Right
   If you had surgery elsewhere and are ‘not quite sure’ about the outcome, you are not alone. I specialize in correcting common complications from traditional facelifts, synthetic fillers, and fat grafts—such as migration, lumping, or that unnatural ‘pulled’ look. I invite you to read my latest article on our website regarding these complications and come in so I can personally evaluate how to restore your natural anatomy.
2. The ‘Reset’ Group: Ready for the Full BYUN Difference
   If you have been waiting for the right moment to move forward with a total ‘reset,’ now is the time. My technique differs significantly from other surgeons: while I utilize Deep Plane SMAS, Ponytail (subcutaneous), and Mini Lift (skin) approaches, I move the tissue in a different direction—up and into the midline. By using a multi-planar endoscopic approach, I create the least amount of interruption to your tissues while achieving a true structural restoration.
3. The ‘Essential’ Group: A Focused Starting Point
   If my initial surgical suggestion felt like ‘too much’ at the time, or if you now require a quicker recoveryor want to invest less right now, you can start with my Essential Facelift. This is a streamlined version of my technique that focuses on the most critical areas to provide a significant lift and structural support without the downtime of a full reconstruction.
4. The ‘Maintenance’ Group: Not Ready for Surgery?
   If you are content with your current look but want to maintain it in a physiologically correct way, I am now offering my exclusive Post-Op Maintenance Program to everyone. We must ‘stop everything and nurture’ rather than damaging tissues with heat-based lasers or synthetic fillers. My Dermal Spin™ Technique(not a thread lift) uses a specialized needle and your own PRP or PRP Gel to encouragemuscles and skin to stay firm and healthy without creating scar tissue.
