STOP overfilling your face & actually go for the investment that last.

For over 25 years, Dr. BYUN has been teaching the same message: aging is normal, but many of today’s popular cosmetic procedures interfere with the way the face naturally ages.
Fillers, fat transfers, thread lifts, implants, and repeated skin-tightening treatments do not correct the underlying cause of facial aging. They add volume, create scar tissue, or pull tissues away from their natural position. Over time, these changes can accumulate and become difficult to reverse.

The BYUN Facelift is different.
An advanced form of the deep plane and vertical facelift, Dr. BYUN’s Expression Facelift, Central Facelift, and Reverse Facelift focus on restoring facial tissues back toward the center of the face rather than pulling them up and out toward the ears.
The goal is not to change your face. The goal is to put aging tissues back where they came from.
Many patients come to Dr. BYUN after years of fillers, fat grafting, threads, or other procedures because they no longer feel like themselves. The problem is often not a lack of volume—it’s tissue displacement.

If you’ve been hesitant about facial surgery because you’ve seen too many unnatural results, you may be looking for a different approach. Dr. BYUN’s philosophy has always been simple: respect the tissues, restore what has fallen, and allow the face to age normally afterward

Not all facelifts are created equal.

According to Dr. Michael Byun, the traditional deep plane facelift is not the final destination—it’s the foundation. True mastery in facial rejuvenation comes from understanding and advancing beyond a single technique through sophisticated multi-planar, multi-vector surgical strategies tailored to each patient’s unique anatomy.

Innovation begins where basic mastery ends.

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.
