The Central Facelift: The BYUN Difference
Dr. BYUN’s Central Facelift is a revolutionary approach to facial rejuvenation. Unlike traditional facelifts that pull skin and tissues up and out, his technique restores muscles and tissues up and in toward the midline, honoring natural anatomy and gravity.
- Traditional facelifts often neglect muscles, creating a tight, unnatural look that requires revision within a few years.
- Dr. BYUN repairs all facial layers—skin, fat, muscle, and connective tissue—ensuring long-lasting, natural results.
- This method preserves natural expression, balance, and authentic facial movement.
How the Central Facelift Works
- Repositions displaced muscles and tissues back to their midline, natural positions.
- Corrects asymmetry or tension from previous surgeries.
- Uses endoscopic visualization for precise, minimally invasive repair.
- Redistributes tissues vertically, following the natural direction of aging.
- Ensures results are stable, natural, and long-lasting, unlike superficial lifts or filler-based revisions.
Benefits of a Central Facelift
Patients choose Dr. BYUN’s method to:
- Restore natural facial symmetry and youthful contours
- Avoid the “pulled” or hollow appearance common with conventional facelifts
- Correct results from previous procedures
- Rejuvenate the face while preserving authentic expression
- Achieve results only possible with Dr. BYUN’s exclusive BYUN Method
Who Is a Candidate?
Ideal candidates include:
- Patients unhappy with previous facelift results
- Those with sagging, hollowing, or displaced facial tissues
- Individuals seeking long-lasting, natural restoration
- Patients in good health with realistic expectations
Customization: Each patient is evaluated to determine whether a full Central Facelift, deep plane revision, or a targeted repair of facial zones is optimal.
Patient Spotlight: Natural, Youthful Restoration
Patient Profile:
- Healthy female seeking subtle rejuvenation
- Wanted to maintain natural eye shape and avoid drastic changes
- Concerns: lower eye ripples, sagging cheeks, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, chin appearance, and overall tired look
Key Observations Before Surgery:
- Brow ptosis: upper eyelid skin touching eyelashes, hiding crease
- Prominent nasojugal line and deep nasolabial folds
- Marionette lines and lower lip “dumbbells” creating heaviness
- Chin fold making it appear short
- Ripples and slight volume loss in central face
Techniques Used:
- BYUN Muscle Repair Lift:
- Endoscopic-assisted lift of brow, midface, cheeks, mouth, and chin muscles
- Restores muscles to their original positions on the periosteum
- Tightens muscles within their natural compartments (no sideways pulling)
- Cheek and Mouth Muscles:
- Buccinator lifted to smooth marionette lines
- Mentalis relaxed to improve chin projection without implants
- Skin & Layer Management:
- Skin repositioned to hold newly restored muscles naturally
- Fat Grafting:
- Abdominal fat added to cheeks and nasolabial folds for subtle volume restoration
Results (3½ Months Post-Op):
- Brow released naturally, eyelid crease restored
- Nasojugal and nasolabial folds shallower
- Midface triangle lifted, cheeks firmer
- Marionette lines less prominent
- Lower lip and chin appear lighter and better defined
- Overall look: relaxed, youthful, and natural
Philosophy Highlight:
“Muscles should stay where they start and end. Tighten within their space, don’t pull sideways. The BYUN facelift restores natural anatomy for results that last.”
Recovery
- Mild swelling and bruising: 1–2 weeks
- Return to normal activities: 2–3 weeks
- Subtle improvement continues over several months
- Recovery is smoother and more natural due to the inside-out repair of all facial layers

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)

Facelift Hesitancy? We Know Why!
Have you been thinking about restoring your image for quite some time now, but are terrified of ending up with that ‘cookie cutter’ bad facelift look? The reason why you haven’t done a facelift yet is because you haven’t found a surgeon that is able to restore your image. As you look through before and after photos, you notice that muscles are still heavy, faces look wider, mouths are pulled sideways and large scars on the sides of the face are impossible to hide. You don’t want your facelift to be obvious, you just want to look beautifully restored. Let’s dive a little deeper into what that means.
Can Your Doctor Do This?
Image A: This before photo shows that Fibonacci’s Sequence had been distorted or “melted” as the aging face loses elasticity and starts to fall.
Image B: This after photo shows that Fibonacci’s Sequence has been restored to its original form. Tight, firm and back in towards the midline.
