Dr. Byun’s approach to facial rejuvenation begins where true youth is built: the midface. This patient underwent his signature Facelift, designed to carefully reposition the underlying muscles and tissues rather than simply tightening the skin or lifting the brow.
By restoring balance at the center of the face, the result is a naturally refreshed appearance—never overdone, always harmonious. Because the deeper structures are returned to their proper anatomical position, results are made to age beautifully and stand the test of time.

This patient received Dr. Byun’s signature Facelift, focusing on repositioning the muscles and tissues at the midpoint of the face—where youthful structure truly begins. By prioritizing central balance rather than the brow, the result is a natural, refreshed look that restores harmony without overcorrection.

Because the deeper tissues are repositioned to their proper anatomical location, the results are designed to age gracefully and last over time, helping the face maintain a youthful, natural appearance for years to come.

The Facelift You’ve Been Told to Fear... Was Just Done Wrong.

You’ve seen facelifts before — pulled, stretched, distorted.
But Byun’s facelift patients? Different.

Why? Because Dr. Michael Byun puts components back IN — not out, not pulled.
No tension. Just restoration.

Most celebrities ignore this one rule:
If you don’t put the aged layers back inside where they were before, anything you do will ruin you.

So why does Byun’s work age gracefully?
Because he doesn’t destroy what’s still alive with quick fix methods.

⚠️ Fat grafts lump and calcify.
⚠️ Fillers migrate, add weight, and sag.
⚠️ Lasers & RF kill viable cells.
⚠️ Threads = internal scarring.
⚠️ Deep plane & SMAS lifts flare the face outward.

LONGEVITY: Dr. Byun warns against the quick fix methods that seem to “snatch” your face instantly.

In reality, though your face will look smooth and tight, over time the skin will follow the direction of gravity and droop— making you look even more contorted!

Dr. Byun’s method ensures longevity because he goes INSIDE and repositions the muscles back in place. That way, when you heal and age over time, you will STILL look like your younger, fresh self!
