DR. MICHAEL BYUN

Dr. Michael Byun, the director of Chicago Cosmetic Surgery describes himself as an, “Architect of Beauty.” He says that aesthetic surgery is not just skin-deep, instead it is a holistic endeavor involving all aspects of the person as a whole. Thus, plastic surgery should not be seen as simply a means of changing your appearance, but as a medical treatment for the inevitabilities of life. “The millennial approach of cosmetic surgery is not to change someone, but to treat the aging process: the sagging cheeks and sagging eyes, our skin and body.

Dr. Byun received his medical degree from Northwestern University Medical School and completed his clinical fellowship in Plastic Surgery at Northwestern. He was a research advisor at the University of California, Department of Neurobiology and at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke Research.
