Dr. Michael Byun - Genius, Artist, Surgeon!
After losing a lot of weight four years ago, my neck showed definite signs of sagging. At 61 years of age, my skin had gravitated downward where body fat had once held it in place. Naturally, I panicked. Did some YouTube research and found a doctor that agreed to give me a neck lift within the three-week-long holiday break I had coming up at work. I was hopeful that this would give me all the time I needed to heal, and I could return to work hiding any scarring under a Covid mask, which everyone was still required to wear at the time.
I would soon come to find out that the doctor I went to was not a board-certified plastic surgeon. The evidence showed. The excess fat was gone, but the crude stitching and stapling beneath my chin and along my entire hairline was alarming. I ended up hiding the effects behind a Covid mask for four years, long after it stopped being mandatory.
Luckily, a friend of mine who was an extremely satisfied patient of Dr. Michael Byun, highly recommended that I consult with him. This ended up being one of the best decisions I’ve made in my entire life.
Upon walking into Chicago Cosmetic Surgery, I was impressed with how bright and cheerful the interior was, with walls covered in beautiful art that showed off Dr. Byun’s amazing work, and his many credentials and achievements. It was so much more inviting and promising than the bleak bare-walled offices of the doctor that had botched my surgery.
Then I met his wonderful staff - Nurse Lauren, Receptionist Lindsey, and Dara the Esthetician & Patient Coordinator - and I was immediately put at ease by their warm, friendly and professional demeanors.
When Dr. Byun entered the examination room, he immediately smiled at me and I removed my mask. He was so gentle and considerate; taking his time to examine and listen to my concerns. He explained to me my options, which consisted of several procedures, all done at his office, before I would be ready for the main muscle repair to correct the neck scar, mid face, and a browlift.
I now feel like I have a new lease on life. I’m ready to throw away the mask and see the world that ‘ve been trying to disappear from for too many years. At the age of 65, I appreciate all that is now me and I’m no longer afraid of the aging process.
A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Byun, not only are you an artist and a genius, but you are also one of the kindest and most generous human beings on Planet Earth. Another huge thank you to his amazing team, for all their patience and care.
If you are reading this and have any reservations about reaching out to Dr. Byun for a consultation, stop hesitating. Make the call. You won’t regret it!
