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.

A sad, but common occurrence after cosmetic procedures is the loss of unique beauty and appearance. Many surgical patients tend to look the same over time due to poor surgeries, and quick fix "band aids" such as filler and fat grafts.
