Michael Byun, M.D, Director of Chicago Cosmetic Surgery, describes himself as an “Architect of Beauty.”
He says that aesthetic surgery is not just skin-deep, but rather a 3D procedure that affects the entire structure of the body. Similar- ly, he believes plastic surgery is not just a means of changing appearance, but a type of medical treatment. He says, “The millennium approach of cosmetic surgery is not to change someone, but to treat the aging process—the saggy cheeks and saggy eyes, our skin, and body.”
Dr. Byun strongly believes that skin care must be a part of plastic surgery before and after any procedures. He is the co- author of the very popular book, The Non-Surgical Facelift Book where he recommends non-surgical procedures to counter the aging effect on the skin. His clinical practice is provided to patients through his Gold Coast Med Spa.
Dr. Byun is working with several research and manufacturing companies to design special sutures and other techniques that allow surgical procedures to be performed in a less inva- sive manner. His innovative procedures, his work, and his pa- tients have been featured in media such as NBC News, FOX TV, ABC, Newsweek, Chicago Tribune, Chicago-Sun Times, and 20/20, just to name a few.
His credentials and reputation are impeccable; he has always been the top of the top, the best of the best. He received his medical degree from Northwestern University Medical School and completed a clinical fellowship in plastic surgery at Northwestern, and is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. He has taught plastic surgery residents at three Chicago area University programs, as well as taught plastic surgeons from abroad.
